Micro-fiction

This is the description of the project.
I experimented with different images and thoughts. The mood wanders toward dark humor. 
working with after effects, adding sound
Take your 250 word MICRO-BIO-fiction from Thinking Time. Clothe, pose, and re-photograph the character.  Record your story as voiceover. Create a second soundtrack in After Effects using only sound effects. Experiment with spatial sound mixing, creating left/right stereo pans, echo, and reverb. Edit your photographs to the soundtrack.

Narrative Collage

Here is the description of the project:
Bring in examples from Fine Art, Photography, and Film of the figure as identity. In class, use the figure to draw gesture and poses which communicates the psychological aspects of: Identity / 1st person, The “Other” / 2nd person, Context / 3rd person.  Think about the psychological aspects of drawing the figure.

Create a sequence/series of drawings of the figure. Construct a short narrative, moving from 1st to 2nd to 3rd person. Focus on revealing the identity of the character through an unfolding narrative. Display your narrative visually by presenting the images in sequence.

Collage, mixed media, sequence/series

Goodbye Old Friend

Week 5: I left my heart in.....my childhood home.




My parents are moving to California on March 1st. I have so many great memories over the past ten years living in this house. I'm going to truly miss it. 

I purchased a disposable camera with 27 exposures and took pictures of my favorite places around the house. The experience was filled with nostalgia and happiness.
I hope that the new family enjoys it as much as we did. 

In the upper left is the view from my room I stayed in during my high school years. Next is my closet where we used to hide under my clothes during hide and seek. Bottom left is the creek that flowed through our back yard nature preserve; my sister and I went rafting down it after a large rain-fall. Lastly is the bat house I built my dad last fathers day. 

Here is a link to a picture of all of the exposures:

Nightmare on Comedy Street

Week 3: Self Portrait
This one was really fun. I got the idea a few days ago after I had a day of ice-cold reactions to my jokes.
I bought about 10 tomatoes today and smashed them up and then soaked them in vinegar ( i thought that would make them softer...I think it did). Then I got a few friends to come over and throw them at me.
Tomato seeds are pretty tough to clean up.
Here are the best ones.
This is the one I chose.

Week 3 Photo Challenge

The theme this week was "your favorite thing"
It was a tough choice but I went with baby spinach. I can't get enough of it, I eat it every day. I might be turning green as I write this.
Here's the pic!
