The End

Today is my last day of class. I really enjoyed my classes this quarter. I learned a lot. Thanks Mr. Jones for teaching us a bunch of cool stuff!

Christmas Lights

Since its getting to be that time of year, many people are putting out their Christmas lights. Some major time and planning went into something like this. I hope you enjoy.

Final

A short video about me talking about school.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I'm on my way to the Carlos Museum and of course it's raining outside. They have some really cool Egyptian stuff there. Wish me luck!


UPDATE: Arrived safely back home. I was only able to stay about an hour. There was an exhibition of Andy Warhol's Polaroid Portraits. Andy Warhol’s Polaroid Portraits offers an unusual look at the intimate relationship between the photographer and his many subjects. Photographs of famous figures such as Dorothy Hamill, Sylvester Stallone, and Mrs. Carter are featured along with lesser-known subjects such as Alphanso Panell, the latter a study for Warhol’s 1975 series Ladies and Gentlemen.

Taxidermy Photo Essay

I really enjoyed this assignment. I learned a lot and had fun doing it.

School is fun.

At 1 P.M tomorrow I will be at Gwinnett Tech with Gregory Heisler and Denis Reggie. If you don't know who they are then I'll tell you who they are. They are both amazing photographers. Gregory is from New York and has shot 74 TIME Magazine covers. Denis is a wedding photographer here in Atlanta. He has coined the phrase "wedding photojournalism". I am so excited.

Busy Day

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. I have to finish up everything for my Humanities class, which includes a trip down to the Carlos Museum by Emory, a Dream House Project which I'm doing in iMovie AND a few papers. I have to be at school by 12:30. And work at 3:30. Yay.

The High

I'm going to The High today for two reasons. One because I have to for my humanities class and two because of the Terracotta Army Exhibition. I'm so excited. I know there is so much to see. I hope we can get through it all!

The McLovin' and Mordecai Show

Anne Geddes

I love taking pictures of children, so does Anne Geddes. She takes her work to a new level and I love it. The babies are just so cute! Check out her website.

To the ER

I had my first encounter with the Emergency Room Tuesday morning. After numerous blood tests and an ultra sound the doctors think that I have a kidney stone. They couldn't find it, but with my symptoms that's what they think it is. I have never experienced this much pain in my life. I wouldn't even wish this much pain on my worst enemy. Thanks to some pain meds that I am taking religiously every 4 hours, it seems to be alright.

A kidney stone
A thing so small
Is hardly worth a mention
Unless your trying to pass the things
They quickly get your attention
There is a cure
I promise you
That this is not a joke
Puree a bunch of asparagus
And chase with a liter of coke

December

It's already December, and even though we have been forced into the x-mas mode with Holiday Portraits, its finally time. I think the tree might get put up early this year. Can't wait to start decorating. Check out these trees!

Wedding Photography

Today in class we talked about wedding photography. A past graduate from Gwinnett Tech, Marc Climie has made a great career out of it. Marc was recently awarded by the Wedding Photojournalist Association, an association governed on principle that judges strictly on the merits of photography and not on stylistic digital manipulation.He also has a blog. Check it out here.
