Wow, ok. I’m finally getting caught up on blogs after my longest dry spell yet. One month and three days. That’s fairly large fraction of the blog’s entire lifespan. I used to freak out if I hadn’t posted in 36 hours. I also used to have slightly more free time. Anyway, enough about that. I’m [...]
Literally. This blog comes about two weeks late, but it’s still neat, so I feel like I should post it. This was a homework assignment. I was to experiment with white balance, and create a project that reflected what I had discovered. Kind of a broad assignment. I figured that since we obviously weren’t going [...]
Hello all! This has been a very productive week for me so far. I have some important updates to share with all of you. I will explain further below. But first, here some photos from the past week’s adventures: A few days ago, I went over to help friend Mark work on his particularly large [...]
I took a trip to Durham on Thursday with my friend Danny. It’s about that time where I have to plan elaborate lunch adventures to celebrate the last time I see my friends for a very long time. An especially long time in Danny’s case, as not only am I moving to California, but he [...]
Stories + photos from my most recent trip to San Francisco. Kate and I head out bright and early to catch out 6 a.m. flight to Houston, TX. I have no recollection of it, as I passed out immediately once I was seated on the plane. Apparently free breakfast was offered to me. I had [...]
Just another day of jumping around Raleigh. I noticed this little gem on the way back from the Bain Project. Never knew it existed. I fell in love with it immediately. So I brought back witnesses to jump in front of it with me. Jumpfail 1. Jumpfail 2. Jumpfail 3. Seb is winner. Then off [...]
I’m starting my MFA program at the Academy of Art in San Francisco in September. These are the photos that got me into grad school.
A very random assortment of photos, with disregard to any particular time or location.
Just a hodgepodge of random Raleigh photos from 2009.
I finally graduated from college. I say “finally” as if it took me longer than expected, but I finished in four years. I’ve just been ready to graduate for about 3.5 years now. Graduation jump. The day eventually progressed into what became a night of drinks and debauchery with an eclectic group of folks, including [...]
So I started this habit of jumping recently. I suppose it happened after having the epiphany that I have a lot of good photos of things that thousands of other people have also taken good photos of. The sudden feeling that my photos lacked any sort of novelty led me to the decision to begin [...]
On Sunday (5/10) I had the chance to explore Raleigh’s historic abandoned Bain Water Treatment Plant (aka E.B. Bain Waterworks). The site opened up to the public to display The Bain Project, a collective display of work by a group of artists in a variety of disciplines, a few of which are friends of [...]
On the way back into town to finish up the last of our San Fran projects before plane boarding time. Project #1: go to Land’s End. It’s a strange process getting out here. You go to the golf course behind the Legion of Honor, wander until you find a dirt road blocked off by a [...]
We head northward to find Calistoga, a tiny town nestled within the Sonoma Valley. Out mapquest directions don’t seem to suffice, so we decide to rely on the navigation service on my phone. We end up on Petrified Forest Road, winding at about five mph to keep from driving off the side of the mountain. [...]
[March 2009] Day four: drive everywhere we possibly can. Vista point jump. Stop 2: Some amazing beach. Can’t remember the name, but I remember that it bore some sort of phonetic resemblance to pinot grigio. So we started hiking. Random Pacific Ocean cliffside jump. Even higher more dangerous Pacific Ocean cliffside jump. I was examining [...]
5/29/2007 – From Austin. Hey people. At this point I would usually have a new batch of stories for you but I’m a bit behind on my writing. I have since been to Baton Rouge, Houston, Dallas, and now Austin. All have been absolutely great. This morning, both BJ’s dad AND my dad had [...]
Okay, so I had to write a small psych paper on “one new thought” I’ve had that was influenced by concepts we have covered in class. Here’s my thought. I have always seen language as a primary means of illustrating and translating thought. I myself am not multilingual. I probably should be, being half-Norwegian, but [...]
Hello! This is the last bit of writing from the west coast. I rececntly just got back from rummaging around the bars and pubs in downtown Vancouver. Our trip to Canadia almost did not happen, since Julian left his birth certificate on his microwave last week, lost it, and forgot to search for it until [...]
