ok well, jcollege life is pretty great, im in the theater program and LOVING IT! we did a production of Urinetown a few weeks back and it was possibly the best experience of my life. the people are amazing and made me and it feel like family, the show was very professional, i learned a lot just in under 3 weeks, probably more than i had the entire semester in any class i have taken there. but yeah i am super excited to keep going, honing my craft (i do back stage stuff TECHIE!!!) and i will hopefully take some pictures of our events and show all of you what im talking about. and about my recent stuff...

Im not really worried/focused on finding myself or a style, i just go out and shoot now when i can or whenever im bored or when i have an idea. ive realized that, THAT is what makes a style possible, just doing things. not contemplating on little details or themes to have in each photo. It feels that the shell of high school has been shed, and sure i may have learned things there, but the whole stigma and how social things are run is just not there anymore, like i have grown out of it which is quite a good feeling. because i am in a much better situation now with loving friends and TONS of support for my passions! couldnt ask for a better situation right now.

I have been sorta planning on going shooting with some friends anytime in the next month or so, so i will try to keep up and post when i have time/energy but it will happen dont you worry!

once again THANK YOU

I have been shooting a bit more than the past few months because ive had a good amount of free time and a wonderful person to tag along with ! things have been going well, still having trouble getting a job though gahhahhahhahhha!!!! but im not going to let that get my spirits down no sir. I hope to be shooting a bit more in the future, at various places.


just to keep you informed on where, we've been all around San Francisco, Berkeley, and Albany for the most part but there is a lotta potential for aggressive expansion. If there is any place around the bay area that you know that is good to shoot at let me know and maybe we can all go together!! lol I might post some more of the stuff already taken, who knows...I knows.

ok haha i'm done ranting catch yea all later!

on a brighter note, i just purchased a Canon 40D and LOVE IT!!! much more pro than my rebel, I hope to make great use of it in the coming months. now my next mission (besides getting a job) is to find a suitable lens to go along with it. Any suggestions? I currently use a sigma 18-200 3.5-6.3 and a canon 50mm f1.8. ive been looking at the Canon 28-105mm 3.5-5.6.

As always, thanks for reading my rantings.

there are many different kinds of art, painting, photography, music etc, but recently when i see photos or even paintings/drawings i get the feeling that not everything is art.

well it is safe to say that most things arnt art, and even though "art" is truly in the eye of the beholder when i see photos, especially mine, i dont think of them as art at all. just pictures.

what does it take to actually become "art"

can anyone answer this question for me, it has been driving me crazy.

any answer whether it be existential or literal is very much appreciated.

from the past couple of days that have just built up with everything

that has been going on and the insane laziness that the winter break

accumulates as well.

"science is looking at evidence and making a theory out of it. Creationism is having a theory and trying to find evidence supporting it. No. It doesn't even do that. It tries to prove creationism by disproving evolution which if even if done well, doesn't work. And that part isn't even done well at all.

And thus, creation science is not science." -Duojagan

"science is about observing natural processes and creating theories to explain them. As soon as you bring the supernatural into the picture, it stops being science. It doesn't matter if it's god, ghosts, or telepathy. Supernatural entities can't be observed, measured, and controlled. They can't be part of a reproducible experiment, so they can't be tested. Without testing, there can be no support for a theory.

No amount of politicisation of education nor whining about religious persecution will ever make Intelligent Design or any other re-imaging of creation a real scientific theory. It's not persecution, it's just the way science works. Deal with it." -imroy

sry for being such a big post, but i think that ID and Creationism and the debates about them and evolution is somthing that really needs to be understood AND THEN HAVE THE RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE CRUSHED!!! LOL...because like these two fine deviants have said, CREATIONISM IS NOT SCIENCE!
