Reintroduction

I thought briefly on how in some crafty way I would explain my absence from this blog, but in all honesty there's no good way to do it. The reason is because I took photography last semester and instead of having digital copies of my photographs from my CVS developments, I was instead developing them myself. As for this summer I have no real excuse. Enough about that past.

Today. In the present, I am back at school. While here I will be trying to post as many of my arts and crafts projects as I can so that you can see. I hope you like them. 

Here's my first piece, that was for my computer graphics class, we had to do a self portrait including a natural element (the lobster) and a text based piece. This piece was done using adobe illustrator. 

Stay tuned for more stuff.

I LIKE THIS PHOTOGRAPH

Good People

Not much to be said about these people other than I love them.

Noah.

Tara.

Andrew.

Peter.

BLUE BEARS

the night before i left, packing seemed like an impossible chore, and the only thing i wanted to do was go visit my chop point family. packing was no match for a few basketball games and bethany's curry.

here is dave, my summer boss and mentor with his daughter ella, he is the greatest and she is the cutest.

chop point blue bears... they've got team spirit if nothing else.

benkrebs. the encouragement behind me and anything creative that I do. also a master of self portraits.

ella winning hearts.

HIMATIC

when benkrebs arrived at my house for our few days of awesomeness, he handed me a camera and in his typically casual demeanor said, "merry christmas." the camera was a minolta HiMatic, and one of these days I will put a picture up and describe its splendor. for now, here are some random pictures i made with it.


justin practicing for vespers, which he leads incredibly well.

this is silly because it is my hair. please don't take it seriously.

inanimate.

grammy rules. she's the best.

Pretty Women

i spent an afternoon earlier in january hanging out with tara and anita, we took some photos that they might be able to add to their portfolios. i have never done planned picture making before, it was a learning experience.

anita liked to pretend she didn't enjoy modeling, and then would somehow make it work beautifully.

tara has lovely boots.

 i shot this roll of delta 100 at iso 400.

candid shots will always be my favorite.

OLD FRIENDS

some beautiful men came and visited us one night while i was at sugarloaf. they are some of the best friends i have ever had. this is evan, he has always been a tremendous friend. he introduced me to surfing despite my hesitations, he is the kind of friend who broadens your horizons...

alex and evan. alex is a world cup boardercross racer, and he shredz park with me when i get to ride during christmas break. we get along great, despite the three feet difference in height and the eighty pounds he has on me. 

CITY OF SHIPS

i went for a walk in bath.

front street and reny's is necessary. always.

city hall.

find my family.

CAMP NAPLES

the bisson family made the drive to long lake to visit grandmother. here is a classic eyes closed phone call, she swears it helps you hear better.

we ate some lobster, my favorite food.. and my favorite photo.

we dealt with the food comatose. 

and before leaving snapped a quick family photograph.

SHAMELESS

too cool not to share. benkrebs is a gentlemen, a true friend, and an extremely talented individual. i have said it before, but i respect nobody more than him when it comes to art. anything i have learned thus far about photography and much more is a direct result of his guidance, advice, and inspiration.
