                <description><![CDATA[ So I didn't take everything down. I still have a lot of complaints about this site, but since I've been a member for six years I feel weird taking all my work down. I might as well just keep going. I'll just leave it up and let you guys favorite the kitten pictures til the cows come home. <br /><br />Also, I graduated from art school so yay for me.<br /><br />And I hate it when they say the word "symptoms" in commercials. I hate the sound of that word! And I hate the way the hypochondriac ladies on TV look when they say it. Its such a smug word. Its like nowadays we're supposed to find some sort of identity in our symptoms. Like my fibromyalgia makes me cooler. Ug.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok. dA, I have been around here for a long time, and I know how you work. But I have to confess, I'm getting a little fed up. See, I just posted those two shots of my kitten, and I got like twenty +faves in a very short time - which, for me, is quite a lot. I post a lot more work - a lot better work - than those snapshots of my kitten, and I'm disappointed that I have to resort to fluff to get anyone to my page here. The last time I had such luck was on an old devID where I jokingly entered "boobs" in the keyword slot. No joke. <br />
<br />
I'm starting to again consider lurkerdom on this site. I have found some pages I like to look at, but I never get much feedback in return. I just don't think this site is worth my time to post on anymore. <br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the comments and whatnot for my cat photos. Its just... well you read the blog. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm almost done with my summer lighting class - last day is next Friday. I had to shoot a ton of assignments in the past two weeks, and I still have a couple left, so I'll post the work from those soon. The shots of Shelby are from that class. I'm officially a senior now, which is cool and freaky at the same time. Things are good. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I got a Polaroid 104 automatic land camera from a thrift store a little while ago, and I was also conveniently given several boxes of expired type 669 film recently, so after cleaning up corrosion and ghetto-rigging a battery, I now have an awesome new working camera. I took some landscape photos, and the rest of the set (there are 7) are at my flickr page (the link is down below). I'm so excited, I love this camera! It's huge and clunky and messy and it goes everywhere with me right now. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've started learning how to weave, as in baskets. My goal is to be finishing one weaving thing per day right now, at least (so far it's working), and soon I hope to be making more than open-ended cylinders and cubes. I know, basket weaving seems to be pegged as the pinnacle of "wow that sounds random and boring" arts, buuuut I don't think so myself. <a href="http://www.textilearts.com/bamboo/">Check this stuff out</a>, and maybe you'll agree with me. Scroll down to Nagakura Kenichi. <br />
<br />
I'm also learning some non-silver photographic processes right now in school, and I'm really liking it a lot. I'm not sure why I hate the traditional black and white darkroom so much (and I really do hate it), but I love the alternate processes. I'm kind of hoping to combine my photography with weaving and lantern sculptures all together for my senior show, which isn't for another year. That gives me plenty of time to sharpen my skills in these mediums. I did a few cyanotypes last Thursday (the first ones ever) and one came out pretty neat, so maybe I'll post it. If not that one, I'll at least put one up when I get a good image made. It's tricky stuff.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited to be learning neat new things. : )))<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I decided to join a club. <a href="http://gopolaroid.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/gopolaroid.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="gopolaroid" /></a><br />
<br />
Because, no one is coming to my page, and I don't want to put a horrendous amount of effort into attracting pageviews when it don't matter none anyway. Of course, I don't post that often... and I never go to forums or anything. I just never get much out of it, and one time I got into a stupid argument with a teenager and got asked to leave the forum, and I felt really stupid for fighting with a teenager on the internet. So I haven't gone back. This club is a step in the right direction though, I guess. Ha. Also, I do really love polaroids.  <br />
<br />
I've been drawing a ton lately. I might even post some of it here. 'Course I might have to get to a scanner for that. I could take photos, because I was recently given a discarded but working-condition copy table, with lights. If I put lightbulbs in it, I can use that instead. You know, I always say something like this in my blogs here. "I've been doing _____ lately. I should post _____, but I'd need a scanner. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Blee blee blah." Less talk, more ACTION, Self! I haven't got any more observations besides that for today. <br />
<br />
Oh, check out my mood icon. Lazy. That's the best icon I've ever seen! Besides the poop on toast one they used to have. I guess they got rid of it. I also love how 'lazy' was filed under the 'neutral feelings' section, and the sub-catagory 'daily needs.' Ha. <br />
<br />
By the way, I hope your new years have been shiny and promising. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok so I decided to give this piece another go.<br />
<br />
I cleared out my gallery of all my old work... which was mostly comprised of my beginner photography (I only started shooting about 2 years ago, and I had a lot of very amateur work that I'm ready to move beyond). So everything you see there is brand spanking new (spanning summer 2006 up to my current work).  <br />
<br />
I upload the bulk of my images on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitney_h">my Flickr account</a>, but I'm just going to start picking one shot out of each new series I make to post here. If I start getting some feedback, I'll consider posting more, but until then, anyone interested will have to check me out there. <br />
<br />
Jesus... this probably won't go well. <br />

It takes too much work to have anything seen, what with all the million other artists on the site. And I've never gotten much useful feedback, as it is. <br />

its going to take a while though, it won't happen all at once. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I posted a few shots from New York. Nothing noteworthy, but I like them and they'll do until I get to printing from the film I shot. <br />
<br />
I'm going through a few things right now (finals, the apartment fiasco, and some none-of-your-business) and I'm very tired and kind of feeling like this...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok I posteddd. Post. I post. What is the past tense of post? I did that. I really should get to a scanner, I've done tons of work lately. Fairly good work too. I'll post it sometime eventually, but I have so much more work to do that I don't have much time to think about that. <br />
<br />
I saw a good movie tonight. It's an Icelandic film called Noi, about a kid and his girlfriend and a tragedy. Aren't they all about the same thing? It's good though, even if all the hipster kids who find out about it will turn it into something cool. Don't tell them about it, keep it secret.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ School starts Monday, and I promise all (none?) of you who still come here that I will post something. I've been doing little things in my sketchbook with scrapped together materials I have lying around (i.e. masking tape, crayola crayons, white out, sharpie, etc.) but nothing too special. But I get so productive while school is going on. Oh, and the riding lessons have been going very well, I'm remembering everything from back in the day and I love it so far. Except that here in Memphis it is EXTREMELY hot. Like, 104* or something. Hot. I can't wait till fall.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Actually I did go on vacation and it was awesome.<br />
<br />
Summer is almost over - school starts on the 29th for me. I'm very ready to go back. But there's practically no chance you'll see any work out of me before then, unless I decide to post some of the vacation photos that turned out well. We'll see. Once school starts, I'll be much more productive. <br />
<br />
Also, my cousin Maddie has been in town, and she's very into horses. She's been taking horseback-riding lessons while she's here, and she got me all inspired to do the same. I used to ride, I started when I was 4, but I quit for a long time. Now I'm starting again. I'm excited. I'm sure you'll see some work coming out of that too. <br />
<br />
And go see March of the Penguins.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't had time to take any pictures. So there probably won't be any posting for a while. I'm going to Florida July 13-23. If you're interested go check out my livejournal or myspace, but there won't be anything new here for a while. Also, the show at Otherlands won't be happening for a while, because I haven't got the funds or time to get it together yet. <br />
<br />

Lets all hope I don't get eaten by a shark in Destin.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ First off, I'm having show. It's going to be at Otherlands, so if you live in Memphis or nearby, you should come. I don't know the dates yet, so I'll post when it happens. I'm terrified, so it should be fun. <br />
<br />
Secondly, I saw Batman Begins. Why did I expect it to be great? Same devices. It was entertaining though. But people clapped at the end. Why do people do that? No one who worked on the movie can hear them... It's like they've got schizophrenia or something. Crazy. And also, movie tickets are too expensive. That is all.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm in a bad mood. Today was not the best day. A man asked to see my penis (?), and I was extremely clumsy, and I'm very tired and I don't know why. And I have to go to work tomorrow, which depresses me. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here are the shots of Matt I mentioned, plus a link to the one of me in the same place (the blue library). <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19546418/">a bright young man</a><br />

<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19440329/">self portrait in a blue library</a><br />
<br />
I still have more from the same set. Also, I'm thinking of posting the alternate color/bw versions for these, depending on which shots I like, which shots others want to see, etc. So do let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular a certain way. I'd appreciate the feedback.<br /><br />---<br />

<br />
<br />
On a side note, I still love PBR. Lucky PBR. Captain Morgan and Jim Beam suffered a different fate. <br />
<br />
<br />
I'm also out of material. I took a self portrait because I am obsessed with myself. Actually because I was a cooperative model. Matt is too, I have some shots of him I'm working on. But here, for now have a self portrait. Here is a <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19440329/">link</a> to it, since it isn't screaming from the gallery yet.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I want to go to Chicago. I really want to go a lot of different places, but Chicago is within reach. And I want to go now. <br />
<br />
All I do now a days is drink beer, work, and get online. I am so lame. <br />
<br />
I have to go somewhere. Soon. <br />
<br />
I'm getting that Memphis fever. Not yellow fever, no, because that was over a long time ago. This is more like the itchy, stale, headachy fever of I've-been-in-this-effing-city-too-damn-long syndrome. It's time for new things. I have to get out. <br />
<br />
Lets go. Lets go today. I'll blow off work. I mean, jobs... who needs em? I don't! So what if I have to pay for gas in order to get to Chicago. We'll travel on the hot gas of enthusiasm! Yesssss...<br />
<br />
I'm going insane here.<br />

You can just break me off a piece of  that kit kat bar.<br />
<br />
Also, I went to see the American  Choppers bike built with pieces of the  Statue of Liberty, and I got some great  shots of the harleys inside the store.  It was closed, so I shot through a  window, but they turned out great.  Since they haven't shown up yet in my  gallery, I'll give links here. <br />

Even if it is on TV and  you are a lonly sad person with no  friends and have nothing better to do  and all the other channels only have  Lifetime made-for-TV movies about rape  victims and abusive husbands. Just  avoid it. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I uploaded the shots from the zoo  today. I'm fond of the two 'primates'  shots. Check them out. And hey, maybe  comment on them, no? <br />
<br />
I'm thinking of scooping up a handfull  of the flower shots I've taken (which  include some fresh ones I shot  yesterday in my parents' backyard, I've  got a buttload to sort through) and  spiffing them up to possibly hang at  Otherlands (for the selling!). Now, I  haven't talked to my boss about this  yet, but she hangs all kinds of, uh,  lovely artwork, and if she'd hang all  that, I think she'd take my flowers.  And it's summer, and people like  flowers. So I'm thinking there's a  chance I might sell some. Maybe. I  hope. I might also try Republic. We'll  see; I have to get organized first.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The promised flower photos are here,  along with one new shot of Shelby.  'Yellow tulip' was quite a project to  get to look the way I like, and I'm  still not entirely happy with it. But  the two 'fallen flower' shots are nice,  and I'm happy with how they came out. I  just uploaded them, and of course dA is  slow like my dead grandma, so they  aren't showing up at all. I'll try to  be patient...<br />
<br />
I've got four shots from a trip to the  zoo to upload, but I didn't want to  overwhelm anyone with too many uploads  at once, so I'll wait a few days and  see how the flowers and the Shelby are  recieved before I add anything else.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ School is OVERRRR. All I have left is  review committee on Friday, which  doesn't count for a grade or anything,  so I'm just not concerned. All I have  to do now is go to work at Otherlands,  which is nice and easy and I'm sooooo  happpppyyyy. <br />
<br />
I've got a bunch of flower photos to  upload, in honor of summer. The  marigold and clovers are up, and I'm  working on the fallen tulip poplar buds  presently. They're the best ones, and  I'll have them up soon. <br />
<br />
Happy SUMMER!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: Just kidding! I went to the zoo  instead of working on the tulip  poplars... It was TN residents Tuesdays  at 2! What was a girl to do? Really...  So have some photos of insects and  spiders and turtles instead. The tulip  poplars will be arriving shortly.<br /><br />---<br />

I also  showered for the first time in about 4  days today. I am very tired. I took  some great shots of a caterpillar, a  tulip poplar bud, and a firefly, all on  the Rhodes campus, and I'll be posting  them once things calm down. Lets hope I  survive the week.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I need help! I've got a dog with no  home, and I don't have anywhere to keep  her. I rescued her from the pound, and  they were about to put her to sleep,  and the home I had lined up for her  fell through, and now she has no where  to live. A very generous friend is  giving her a home until this Sunday,  the 24th, but she needs someone kind to  take her in and spoil the crap out of  her. Shes the sweetest thing, doesn't   bark or bite, isn't hyper, comes when  you call and won't run away from you,  she looooves to lay and let you pet her  and to be outside. But she would make a  good apartment dog too! She needs your  help! If you or anyone you know living  in the Memphis area would like a dog,  please let me know! I love her so much  but I have no home to keep her in. Any  help would be appreciated, and I refuse  to take her back to the pound. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm very involved in the process of  cleaning up my gallery, and I've gotten  rid of several things and moved some  things to scraps. And also moved one  scrap to my gallery --><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16934551/">[link]</a> And I'm  going to be resubmitting a few things  that need borders, cleaning up, etc. So  if you watch me, sorry to fill up your  windows with old things. <br />
<br />
Only three more weeks til summer! I got  my schedule for next fall today,  registered and everything. I'll be  taking Photo 1, Book Making, Intro  Computer Art, Contemporary Art, and  Contemporary Fiction. Things should be  better now. I hope...<br />
<br />
And on Wednesday, I find out where I'll  be living once mid May hits. This  should be exciting. The tarot says I  get the condo. My head is saying I'll  share a cardboard box in my parents'  attic with my sister. We'll see...<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm still compiling my list, will be  ready for the posting soon. <br />
<br />
I found a few neat artists for you to  know about. Well, one I already knew  of, but the other two I just recently  found. Check them out:<br />
<br />
- Mika Kato, if you can find much of  her work. She creates dolls out of  clay, photographs them, and then paints  them in oils, and the results are these  photorealistic, haunting images of what  looks like slightly altered human  faces. Very interesting, odd, pretty,  somewhat Margaret Keane-like. This site  doesn't have much, but she's in this  month's issue of Modern Painters  Magazine if you want to see more.<br />
<a href="http://www.artnet.com/artist/9279/Mika_Kato.html">[link]</a><br />
<br />
- Hideaki Kawashima, who paints these  strange empty faces with strange  details and shapes, reminiscent of the  face on the cover of The Great Gatsby,  you know the eyes floating and the  lips... Acrylic on canvas, also sort of  Margaret Keane influenced.<br />
<a href="http://www4.plala.or.jp/kusanagirin/kawashima.html">[link]</a><br />
<br />
- Loretta Lux, a strange lady who  photographs children in this very eerie  way. Lots of pale blondes and redheads,  sort of alien, slightly distorted but  sweet in a weird way. Plays with your  ideas of childhood and innocence.  Interesting stuff. <br />
<a href="http://www.lorettalux.de/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
I've got the drawing bug so I'll  probably try to work on some things and  post them, since most of this gallery  is made up of photography now. I need  to vary things a little. I'm off to see  Sin City tonight, lets hope my 8 bucks  is worth it. I hate going to the movies  now, retarded bastards charge too much.  And I'm hungry.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I had my nose pierced, but I took it  out. Because I'm over my piercing  stage, I guess. I have a lot of new  photos, but I'm trying not to inundate  the site with a continuous fat stream  of uploads.<br />
<br />
I should be at home building the  framework of a fish head out of foam  core. Alas, I am not. <br />
<br />
Also, I'm building a photo album at  this site called webshots.com, and it's  going to be all personal photos of  friends, family, etc. No artwork. No  one looks at my scraps section, so I  think I'm going to start putting some  of my photos over there. Of course, the  photos in my scraps are not just these  poorly done snapshots, I take time with  them like I do with the things I post  to my gallery. They're quality photos,  but the subject matter is not for  posting in the main portion. So I'll be  moving things over to the album at  webshots, in hopes that people will  check it out.<br />
<br />
Also... I'm ready for school to be  over. I'm going to be at MCA for at  least one more semester, then I'll  consider a transfer. And I'm ready for  summer. Wah.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, so I'm going to be doing a  performance art piece (it's an  assignment for one of my classes). It's  going to take place this Friday, April  1st, on Beale Street, and I'll be  starting at about 9pm and going for as  long as it takes. It is ESSENTIAL that  I have input from the audience for this  piece to happen at all, and so I hope  some of you can come out and  participate. I'm going to be collecting  information on slips of paper to read,  and it will all be kept anonymous (I  won't even know who contributes what),  so I really encourage you to come out  and watch and listen and give me some  input. I can't do it without you.  Anyone who will be in the Memphis area  on Friday should definitely come out. I  hope to see you there, even if I don't  know you. Please come out. If you want  more information on this, leave a  comment in my journal or send me a  note, and I'll definitely get back to  you on it. Please come participate and  watch!!<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I went to industrial goth night  again last night, and a stripper  wrapped her leg around me. It was fun. <br />
<br />
I'm starting to slow down a little,  which is nice. But I have a lot of work  I'd like to do, so I'm struggling to  find a balance. We'll see how it goes. <br />
<br />
Being single has some perks, you know.  But it also has some drawbacks, and I'm  experiencing them. I mean, I'm  experiencing the perks too. But the  drawbacks... they make me antsy. <br />
<br />
I see that everyone likes 'Tonight You  Fly,' and I have quite a few shots from  that day that I haven't finished  working on, but I intend to post them,  as they seem to be popular. <br />
<br />
And I want to say thank you so much to  all the people who have showed up  lately and commented on my work, or  favorited it. This means alot to me,  and I notice and appreciate everyone's  input. Thanks so much : ) <br />
<br />
I'm also wondering, if there are any  people who would be interested in  buying my prints, let me know, because  I would consider getting a prints  account if I thought it would be worth  it. If not, I'm just not going to  bother. But if you would be at all  interested in seeing me have a prints  account (and the prices would be very  reasonable) leave a comment on my  journal.<br /><br />---<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been a little manic lately,  putting out a lot of work, probably  because of all the chaotic stuff going  on in my life. But I'm going to try to  slow down I think. I made myself take a  nap today. I don't think I'm going to  be able to keep up the level of output  I've been at lately. So enjoy it while  it lasts. I think I'm going to finish  the self portrait series, the oily one,  check out <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16372168/,">[link]</a> and then I'm going to  take a break, limit things a little.  Because at this rate I'll weigh 50 lbs  and be very shakey all the time and  probably I'll drink too much. And  things will be messy.<br /><br />---<br />

Only .03 out of every 80 people that  come to my site actually leave a  comment. So, for those of you who do  leave comments, and there are a few  repeaters who know who they are, I want  you to know I really really appreciate  it. And for those of you who just don't  comment, well... tonight I say FUCK  YOU. Tomorrow, I'll probably be  cheerful and think my words too harsh.  But just for tonight, we'll go with the  fuck you. <br />

I'm manic and so  awake and I'm eating broccoli cheese  soup that tastes terrible and working  my ass off on some photos that are not  for school because none of my good work  is, and I have not finished my  homework, because I chose to go out  with someone tonight and I don't care,  because I had a much better time doing  it than I would have drawing a chair in  my room. My god what a sentance. Fiona  Apple rocks my socks. My fever burns me  deeper than I'll ever show. I've got  some tense fucking shoulders. What a  mood man, what a day fuck. I guess I'm  going to try to sleep. Oh yeah, have  some photos. I'm working on some shots  of the tree that's in <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16333922/,">[link]</a> but I  actually got a surprise with my series <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16334743/,"> [link]</a> which I like very much and did  not expect.

I  want to be somewhere sunny by the water  or in the water or hovering over the  water and some wind would be nice too.  I am so ready. Since I am poor as fuck  I will not be able to afford entering  the contest I was going to, so I posted  my entry (well, the one that wasn't  posted already). It's for you all, and  for spring, and it is definitely not  for money. So there, fuck you money.  Yea for spring.<br /><br />---<br />

If you do  nothing else today, or tomorrow, or any  time soon, you must at least do that.  And also, always have hope. And if that  doesn't work, then just look up into  the sky, and make a wish, and if it is  a good wish, then the stars will hear  you and it will happen! <br />

But it's a call for entries  in the "intimate floral" category, and  I'm thinking of sending in some of my  magnolia blossoms. I have hopes for the  black and white close up. We'll see  what happens. <br />
<br />
Also, I've uploaded several new shots  to the scraps section, just some neat  little photos of things going on in my  life, and maybe a few shots I like but  that arent quite something I want in my  gallery. Check them out. And I've been  posting fairly regularly as well, and I  think that will continue, seeing as how  I'm shooting almost every day. I'm  thinking of coercing one of my friends  into modeling for me so I can work on  some portraits, and screw around with  them in Photoshop. I have some ideas.  We'll see...<br /><br />---<br />

I probably  won't be around for just a little bit.  Nothing major, not too long. I have to  renew my subscription too... it runs  out this weekend... the day before my  21st birthday.

Anyway, I'm out of here. I'll be  downtown tonight with some friends  holding some kind of memorial...  thing... for Hunter S.

                <description><![CDATA[ I uploaded several shots from this past  weekend when I went roaming around  downtown Memphis. It was sort of dank  and rainy and the lighting was bad but  I got a lot of usable shots, and I've  messed with them in PS and I think I  got some decent results. Also, the  magnolia photo was taken on the same  day. The pic of Shelby is just an old  snapshot, but I wanted to play with a  black and white portrait-style thing  and that came out of it and it was one  of those moments where I feel like I  can just leave a piece alone and be  happy with it. So there it is. I'd  really like some feedback on this  stuff, especially the No.1 Beale  pieces, because I'm new at this. <br />
<br />
Also, I'm sort of coming out of the bad  funk I've been in, so you don't have to  be scared of me anymore. Frou Frou  helps : ) I'm obsessed I'm sorry. Why  did no one tell me about Frou Frou  earlier?? Gawd...<br /><br />---<br />
