I am finally settled in back home. It has taken a while, but I am finally on a schedule of how my life is supposed to work, living with my parents again. I.E......I need to get out of here and find my own place. Don't get me wrong! I love the 'rents!! We get along great......I just need my space again. It's natural, right? Right.

Anyways.....leave the love. I'll keep you updated!!

Basically our trip went......Santa Barbara, CA....Fountain Hills, AZ.......El Paso, Tx......Muleshoe, Tx (where my family grew up), Denton, Tx.........Memphis, TN..... Knoxville, TN.......and home. All in all, it took us seven days. We took a lot of photos along the way. (I probably should have taken more.....but we never would have gotten home!!) I am going into the darkroom for the first time in years this Sunday, so I should have some developed for you. Memphis was, by far, one of the best stops along the way. We went to Beale Street (my relatives live in Germantown, so I have been to Beale before) and just our luck, there was a Zydeco festival going on. I think it was in honor of Mardi Gras. If you guys have never checked out Zydeco, then you need to. Google it.

I got some great posters there. And Maisee and Dole....there are suevineres (I can never spell that word) coming your way.

Muleshoe also kicked some ass (no pun intended). This is a city of 4000 where my parents grew up. Most of the town is now shut down, so I got a lot of pictures of how the city has changed for my parents. They are pretty excited to see them. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Anyways, I guess that is the update for the time being. Great to be home Manassas!!! (I don't think anyone can ever get me to say that again...)

Art and craftsy...i know. But it will be something to keep and maybe even hand down. Plus...it will just be really cool to own if it works out. Here is the link wher I got the idea. It actually gives the step by step process for making the quilt. C'mon....you know you want to....

I am excited to move back, actually. I have a lot of ideas...a lot of models to work with....a great space to work in....and some new techniques learned. Some of them were experimented with in the previous submissions. I used some new lighting and PS techniques. Fun times!!

Anyways, Conor and I are taking a cross country trip. (Once in a lifetime (or twice in my case) opportunity!!!!!) We are going from Santa Barbara, CA to Arizona to Texas to Louisiana to Tennessee to VA. SSSSOOOOOOO excited!! We are stopping off in Muleshoe, Tx...population 4500 (no seriously!!). It is where my parents grew up. The town, from what I understand, is slowly dying. So, I want to go and take some photos while everything is still standing. I am stoked!! When we go to Louisiana, we are stopping for a couple of hours for Mardi Gras. We are not staying long...just enough to experience a little of it. It will be interesting to see Louisiana, anyways.

I can't wait!! eight days and counting!!

They are for a friend, and I will post them as soon as they are ready. I am actually pretty excited about them.
I have a photo shoot with a co-worker next week. I have no idea what I am going to do, honestly. I think it will be alright, though. I always pull through in the end. I want to do a studio shoot, which looks like a location shoot. Most of my work is either out of the studio, or in front of a relatively plain background. I want to do a really crisp, indoor, semi-action shot.
I also want to learn how to use strobes instead of hot lights. I am going to see if I can find a book or a website which will showw me how. I have tried to learn before, but it almost seems like I need to be shown instead of learning on my own.
Since the last time I updated, there has been a new addition to the family. As of now, she is almost five months old, about two feet tall, and incredibly hairy. She is a Bichon Frise (we think mix) and awnry as all hell. We went to the beach today and went for a three hour hike, so she is pretty dead right now. Her name is Johnnie Bean. Very cute.
Right....I guess that is all that is going on my life right now. I am about to get started in my shoots again...so that is exciting. I will, of course, keep you all posted.

Right...done then.

These guys, in the mean time, are absolutely amazing and, in my opinion, ,don't get the attention they so aptly deserve.

Right....I am going to go roll over now and go back to bed. (Trust me, it takes a lot.)

Anways, so that should be postmarked by the 23rd of this month. The other competition is the Adobe Student competition. I am, obviously, entering into the photography division and those have to be in by May 30th....unless I have the two competitions mixed up and in that case, they are each due on the other's date. lol. After I am done with this, I should probably get off my duff to go check the calendar.
I bought a camera thing that came in the mail yesterday. It is a russian camera from the early 80's. (I got it off of Lomography.com). It is called the Meccano erector set. Yes folks...it actually is an erector set. It came with a whole bunch of parts. It turns into a 35mm, a slide projector, a film enlarger and a magnifying glass. I actually got it for its enlarger qualities. Funny thing, though. All the directions are in Russian and Ikea. lol. All the pieces are numbered and there is a little chart, but without the instructions, it is very difficult to tell which piece goes where. I finally got the enlarger into what I thought was a working model. No...I was wrong. I didn't. Damn thing only projects the portion of the film that the light is shining on. In other words, I think I may have the lenses in wrong. ARGHHH!!!!! (Charlie Brown exasperation right there, people.) Anyways, I have taken a break so as not to throw it into a wall. I shall try again tomorrow. G' Night all.

I want always to be able to improve on something I do. ARRRGGHH!!! I just don't feel like I am getting anywhere! I have a few people who really support me and my work, but other than that, I can't seem to get to the point in my work where I am drawing attention to it. I dunno, maybe these are things that are only thought and don't make much sense on...er...computer screens. Anways, I don't know if I am mad at myself because I have set certain expectations that are a bit unreachable at this time, or if I am mad at myself for not reaching the reachable goals I have set. Haha. Wow, my brain is all twisted right now.
Well....I guess I am off to figure.

Basically, I told her today that I had officially given my 30 days notice to the apartment co. that I would be moving. I was going to let her know that if that date was not good for her, then I could work something else out. She, however, being the fuck that she is, interrupted me and started getting pissy, saying that I hadn't given her enough time to find a roommate. First of all....I told her three days ago that I was going to be moving. The market is so hot right now in Ventura, Ca. and the rent is so damn cheap for our house, she could easily have found someone by now. I checked online at roommates.com and pulled up at least 50 people who would have worked. Anyways.....she interrupted me by asking what the fuck I was thinking, not giving her any time. Then she said what really pissed me off (she wears sunglasses indoors, so this made it ten times worse) "Just walk away Terra. I don't want to have this conversation right now." I lost it. I basicallly told her the real reason I was leaving....ie: her. I told her to fuck off and that she was a bitch. Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't cuss people out. I have only done that one other time in my life, and that was to my drug dealing, backstabbing, credit card stealing, ass hole of a best friend at the time. fucker.....

Anyways....that was my rant for the evening. I know no one actually reads this, as I haven't recieved a response on a journal entry in a while now....so I guess this was more of a rant for myself. Right, so I am done with that then.

]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/6446129/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/6446129/ Wed, 07 Sep 2005 22:23:57 PDT Everyday, it seems, I have been hearing things that just rip my heart out. It is amazing to think that in
life, we can feel such sympathy and remorse and sorry. Granted, it is usually counter balanced by happiness and joy and warm fuzzy feelings.

If you don't know me, here is a little tip. I AM A MAJOR ANIMAL LOVER!!!!!!! I keep hearing about people in the parts of the country where Katrina has left her devastation. Some of them will not leave their homes because of their animals. My heart goes out to them. I would probably be one of them if I were in their position. They have lived with these companions for years. They have become family members, and in some cases children. To leave them behind is just a heart wrenching idea. I understand why they are being asked to, don't get me wrong. I understand that there just aren't enough supplies and space for these animals to be rescued. I just feel for those who are having to make this choice. They are being asked to leave part of their family, who are completely dependant upon them, behind.

The wreckage of family and home itself is enough to make one's heart stop. I have been watching, like the rest of the world, the devastation and the recent surge of energy to fix what is shattered. My greatest wish in the past few days has been to get on a bus and go to Louisiana to volunteer. Unfortunately, I like the funds to do this. So, I am going tomorrow to an orientation held by my city (Santa Barbara, Ca.) for volunteers. Just because I am too far away to help in person, doesn't mean I can't help from a distance. I urge anyone who actually reads my journal (which is not ver many of you) to find out how to spend your spare time volunteering for this cause. There is a war zone in our own country. Most cities have some sort of volunteer program to help with Katrina victims. Look at it this way....thousands of people are homeless, without their families, their schools, their churches, or their friends... and you are sitting in your cush chair in your bedroom, surfing the deviant website and watching some mindless program on tv. I hope there are more people than not who take their spare time seriously.

Everytime I read Peter Pan, it sparks something in me. Most of the time it is just "I have to do something creative...I don't know what.....but it must be creative." That sounds funny, but it is true. Last time I read it, I tried to be an author. I commend anyone who actually can write. Lets just say, it is not my forte.

I do, however, have a project in the works, currently. I have had the idea for quite sometime, and only now have decided to finally act on it. I hope it comes out perfect, the way I intend it to. You shall probably be seeing the results of my effort within the next two weeks. We shall cross our fingers, yes?

I intend the project to be a full representation of my creative limits at this stage. I know that sounds weird, but it just seems like everything I do these days, is not my best. So....I shall show you my best (for those of you that actually watch my work.).

Speaking of work....did anyone else see the Vogue cover of Drew Barrymore, shot by Annie Lebovits?? AMAZING!! And the insides were even better. You should check it out. It came out this month. Should still be on the stands.

Well...I guess that just about wraps up my life for now. Hopefully, it will continue on full throttle and I will keep you posted per usual (meaning once a month.)

I start at Brooks in July which I am REALLY looking forward to. They let you check out equipment!!! Wow!! I am going to be like a kid in a candy store.

I have started writing again. A kids book actually. And no...I am not going to post it. I won't torture you guys with that. lol. I am not even going to talk about it until it is all done, and I know it is not just something I wish I were good at. Well....except for right now. But I shall mention it no more!!

My 56 year old room mate sucks. She drives me nuts. She goes to bed at like 8 at night. Stupid. So...I am moving. That is all on that.

Right....so goodbye until I remember to update again!!

One life, that is all there is. And is this what you really want from it? Nine to five monotony. Jump of the edge. Take the dive. Make your goal something new everyday. Find your passion and don't achieve it, live it. Know your life. What the fuck are you waiting for?

moving on....

the cd stuff if coming well. I am sending off the cd on tomorrow, hopefully. they have already picked out the shots they want to use for the cover, so that is good. They just need to sift through the other fifty and decide which ones they want to use for the inside. i am very excited.

right...so I think that is it.

OH!! my sister just join DA!! Her art is awsome. she hasn't posted anything as of yet....but she will and it will knock your tubesocks off. soooo....you should watch her....yeah....that is all.

Ok....that is all....

I am going to Colorado next month to look at the colorado art institute. They are supposed to have a really good photography department. We shall see.

I am working on a project for a band in NC. I hope the shots come out well. I will let you know the band after the deal is over and I have the job nailed down. I mean...I have been hired, I just hope they like the shots. :nervous:

I am working on an art project that looks really awsome (in my opinion) right now, but it is taking all of my time to do it. I have been working on it since last night and have only gotten about 2/10 done. (yay!! i did a fraction!!) But, it looks really cool so far. It involves lots and lots of detail and color. paiiiiiinful!! righty...but I will post it when I get the first part done. (I think there will be about three parts.)

ok....talk to you babes later!!!!! :muah!!!!:

we mainly worked on lighting this morning. I used all natural lighting from a window in the room. Soooo...if you are going to comment that the poses are not very creative...I am aware. still...i have been thrilled all day at the results of this morning. the lighting was perfect and most of the shots came out wonderful. all in all...i got about six good shots out of two rolls. I say that isn't bad. in any case...i am going to head off to bed now. talk to ya tomorrow....

soooo....if we can get to the developing place by like....six thirty-ish (which is kinda rushing the shoot...but I am really excited) I may be able to post some new stuff tonight that is actually good!!! YAY!!!!!

:skips around the room:

plus...one of my ideas worked for a cheap background. the cloth was getting expensive...and I have discovered that poster board (which only costs like 39 cents is wonderful in lighting!!! I so cited!!!!!! (push pins hurt....that is all.)

K. enough. I took some shots of and yesterday when twigs came down to visit. HIIII TWIGS!!!! right. so...they were mainly an experiment with indoor light. I think they came out well for an experiment. Obviously there is an extreme amount of improvement to be made...but I think it is a good headstart. I really like the way the orange wall turned out. They will be white soon. I dunno...maybe I will keep them and just buy a white backdrop. I dunno. Oh well. Lemme know what you think.

My sister shouldn't mind. ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2119690/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2119690/ Tue, 30 Mar 2004 23:48:28 PST . Millville? perhaps? lol.
anywayz...I haven't worked out pricing yet..
Actually, I would prefer not to charge at all, but unfortunatly, film and paper and printing have gotten rather expensive. Damn. Oh well. We will see how it works out. I will post the site as soon as we get it set up. Wish me luck.

The second place we went was kind of funny. We were driving by this old, kinda out in the boonies, run down but still lived house when mollie (molls on Da) noticed the old white pickett fence surrounding the front yard. I probably would not have given it a second glance. Anywayz, she insisted that we turn around and take a look. She jumped out and asked the girl (who gave us an extremely odd look, by the way) if we could use her fence for some photos. She said yes, and that is where the white pickett fence photos came from.

There are more shots to come, but I haven't gotten the roll developed yet. This coming week I plan on practicing my studio work. I haven't had any practice at all with it, so there will be some interesting experimenting going on. Wish me luck. ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2079103/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2079103/ Wed, 24 Mar 2004 21:41:00 PST
It is just odd to look around on deviant and see these professional photographers who do an absolutely amazing job, and then I know I am not as good as those guys. I mean, I will be. And I know I have my own style....but still. I dunno. Just curious. This is probably how a lot of people act.
Ignore me. ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2059511/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2059511/ Mon, 22 Mar 2004 00:07:41 PST ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2054325/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2054325/ Sun, 21 Mar 2004 08:58:15 PST ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2037031/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/2037031/ Thu, 18 Mar 2004 13:21:41 PST
In any case. I am planning another photo shoot with my buddy, conor, hopefully next week. OH!! CONOR!! NEXT WEEK, we should get together so I can try some new things. *muah!!*

anywayz....i will let you guys know how that turns out. ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1977615/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1977615/ Mon, 08 Mar 2004 21:28:05 PST
Next, I would like to try to replicate some of the old pictures of hollywood. I don't know how I am going to do this, but I think I can. If I allow myself to buy one or two pieces of clothing or costume jewelry a pay check, I think I can do this.

MOLLIE!! WE NEED TO SET ANOTHER PICTURE DAY!!! I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS IT HURTS!!!!! ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1973591/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1973591/ Mon, 08 Mar 2004 10:32:07 PST
Well, I found some of my old pieces lurking around in some of my photoshop files on my computer, so I decided to post them. They have all been tweeked by photoshop, but are otherwise exactly like they were a year ago. I still think they look alright.

Anywayz, I guess that is all. ]]> ~Odessa04 http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1967446/ http://Odessa04.deviantart.com/journal/1967446/ Sun, 07 Mar 2004 10:40:55 PST
I am planning another shoot with a friend of mine, Brandy, hopefully when spring officially hits and we start seeing more flowers.

Conor is talking to a guy named Cassidy who is absolutely gorgeous, if I do say so myself. I can't wait to get hold of him for some shots.

I will keep everyone updated so you know when to expect more shots. ]]> ~Odessa04
