So this week’s project was to take 25 photos of complete strangers. Since I did something similar for last week’s “A Day in the Life” project, I wanted to make this set particularly unique. What better way than to do my assignment at the Folsom Street Fair. I’m particularly proud of this set. I’m not [...]
If you kept up with my blogs over the summer, you know I spent a good portion of it touring the country with Tim Lytvinenko, Bowerbirds and Megafaun. It was quite an adventure. Tim and I took countless photos and recounted all of our adventures on welldonetour.com, the photo-site we created for the tour. It [...]
Man, it’s been a long two days. Quite a few great things have happened. 1 – I got 431 visits and 1,131 page views on my blog today. Seriously, WTF. I didn’t even post today, technically. I’m posting this first not because it is remotely the most interesting or important, but I found out approximately [...]
Another day in my not-so-normal life. I was voluntarily kidnapped on Saturday and taken to a few places I would have never otherwise found, including a random bulb of waterfront land in Berkeley, and a middle school. I tagged along to this bulb of note with friends Mark and Cherry. It was a bit of [...]
I have recently had the pleasure of experiencing the magic berry. I suppose the proper name would be “Synsepalum dulcificum.” These berries contain a protein that binds to the taste buds, temporarily causing sour and bitter foods to seem sweeter, thereby allowing you to easily eat foods otherwise inedible… So that’s what we did. My [...]
I finally went to the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) this week. I have been ecstatic that I live in a city that hosts such epic collections, but, even better – as an Academy of Art student, I get FREE admission. I also have homework assignments that require me going there. Tough life, [...]
It’s been a busy week. News in Helena’s life: - I am finally employed! After spending countless hours wandering around the city, handing resumes out at bars, scanning Craigslist incessantly, dealing with sheisty scammers, etc etc, my patience actually paid off. I will be working with Triple Point PR, a firm that builds campaigns for [...]
So yesterday marked the birthday of my friend and neighbor Mark Growden. Mark happens to share a backyard with me, making this easily the most convenient gathering I’ve attended thus far in San Francisco. The yard was abound with wonderful, interesting people. I spent the afternoon reveling in the general human awesomeness surrounding me, and [...]
MY CAMERA CHARGER IS BACK! I’ve had the following photos stuck on my camera for a week now, as I accidentally left my camera charger + extra battery at my old abode. I finally retrieved it, and my photos are finally free. I’ve actually spent the entire day either editing or taking photos, and I’ve [...]
I took some fun photos this weekend, and would love to post them tonight, but I can’t find my camera charger or extra battery. So they are stuck within my dead camera for now. Instead, I thought I’d post my favorite photos from this summer’s phototour, as well as a couple of photos that I [...]
So I’ve moved twice already here in San Fran… keeping up the typical transience of my life. My first SF abode was a sublet that I made quickly and frantically over craigslist from Phoenix, AZ. I would occupy the mystery room with mystery roommates from Aug. 15 until Sept. 6th, or earlier, depending on when [...]
I keep finding myself crossing paths with Raleigh folk in this new city of mine. I feel like a good many alumni of NCSU’s College of Design either migrate to New York or San Francisco… and I don’t blame them, as they’re both meccas of design and technology. It’s basically the same reason I moved [...]
