Back to photos!

Here's a few photos from a recent shoot. This is Matt Dickstein. I'm doing his album cover for his new poetry spoken word album. Be on the lookout and ready to hear more about it when it comes out. It'll blow your mind.

day 2.

Some more GOYA material...

A photographer I learn so much from, Zach Arias, stresses the importance of "GOYA" photography. This is photography, while being fun, is a breath of fresh photography-air, if you will. "GOYA" stands for 'get off your [booty]'...his words, not my own. After doing so many shoots for other people, Zach teaches that we need to shoot for ourselves to re-inspire us, or rest our photographic spirits.

I say all of this to share my much needed "GOYA" material. I have become bogged down by pleasing others with my photography. This work is beautiful to me, and that is all I am worried about. It is not to please anyone. It is not to make anyone happy. It is to rest my stressed mind. Thanks for looking!




Also...these photos will be used in a documentary about this lovely town I get to live in. Much more about this later.

Final.

my final for my sequential art project.
any comments?

goals.

I want to change the world.
I don't want to be silent.
Our world is one of silence-
the truth is bent.
the hurt is disregarded,
the pain is covered up,
unnoticed, almost seeming fictional.
what holds us back?
a fear of failure?
laziness?
remove all affiliations,
remove all past associations,
our Father is one of
unity,
grace,
love,
goodness,
hope,
forgiveness,
beauty,
perfection.
let's love like Christ.
let's live like Christ.
I want to change the world.

He is the best artist. He is the best creator. It's pretty cool living in the best art gallery imaginable, I'd say.

some more...

sequential art.

So for my art class I have an assignment to do a sequential art piece. Sequential art is when a piece has multiple phases or snapshots which make up one action, story, or job. This is sort of a broad definition, as it is a broad genre. Comics, cool photos like i'm doing, and instructional phamplets are all examples of sequential art.

Many ideas have passed though my head...so i have been playing around with a ton of rough drafts. Here's a couple ideas I'm working with. I'm thinking about adding some sequential sports pieces too...hmmmmmm i dunno. The Finals will be posted later, fosho.


P.S.
Does the world really need two of me???

Laura.

meet laura, she's pretty cool.
