I haven't updated for a while, and I don't think this will be one of my extended entries. I'm back in Missouri and its snowing and gray out. The sidewalks are nothing but ice, and classes begin tomorrow... That is, unless the weather has anything to say about it. Above is a picture from my final project from last semester, a photo story on a deaf playwrite. The photographs were published in Columbia's Vox Magazine.
San Francisco housed me for most of winter break. Family, friends and a little bit of work kept me busy. Libby came down from Los Angeles for New Year's with her friend Natalie. Sandman the Rappin' Cowboy played in Oakland, and I got myself a new lens. I'm recharged and ready for the new semester. I will need it given all the pictures I stand to take.
Blue Fog?
I went back to San Francisco for Thanksgiving and had a good turkey indeed... a pheasant too. I am very thankful to the hosts for including me as one of their 40 guests. The crack corner store had been a fixture by my house for all my life. Sitting a block away, it served useful for candy and soda runs. Now it houses yuppy chocolate, cheese, wine and coffee. While Blue Fog certainly fits in with the neighborhood, there was a nostalgia imbedded in the old store.
I had to take a human cityscape picture for my class. If you are wondering what human cityscape is, well, so am I. Human cityscape is vaguely defined as bringout out a subject through natural settings, emphasizing color and lighting. I took this picture the day before the assignment was due, from the 2nd story of a parking garage. I am very thankful the woman was wearing a nice red jacket and blue purse. I am also thankful I have a week off from school- that's why I'm back in SF hibernating.
My Mass Media Seminar professor, Prof. Hudson, celebrated his birthday on Wednesday... In style! He was born at 8:09 in the morning in Columbus, Mississippi, in a hospital that no longer exists. He is passionate and enthusiastic about his work, and is very involved in working with the students. He makes theory lively, and he also makes what could be a very boring class interesting. He has compared our journey through grad school to a long bus ride, and we're all hooked for trip- be the bus long or short.
Sports Picture
We had to submit a sports photograph for class. I came upon a women's lacrosse tournament on campus. I learned the difficulty of photographing this sport, mainly because the ball is small and there is very little interaction. The background was cluttered with lines and poles; that didn't make picturetaking any easier. In the end, I was happy with this picture.
Tony F-ing C.
At the Spanish Fly. A strange dance club in downtown Columbia. They try to pull off this Latin/Salsa feel, yet the atmosphere is definitely gringo.
Soft Light
My neighbour messing with the lighting in my room. More in-depth lighting theories come next semester.
Tickets
Andrei swears his Romanian license is valid in the US. On his ticket, the cop wrote "None (Romania)" in the "driver's license" category.
