One More Day

I am finally almost done with class for this quarter! It's about damn time. So ready for to have some time off class. It's only until the begining of August but it's ok. I'll be working everyday but at least i'll be makin money and won't have to worry about homework. Be able to work on some personal stuff more often. Went and sold my Pysch book today and ended up buying a few books. In terms of just novels and what not i pretty much just look for books that are published by Leisure Fiction. Ended up finding about 5 authors ive never heard of until then. The ones i bought were Found You by Mary SanGiovanni and Covenant by John Everson. Never heard of them but they both seem pretty cool. Also found this sweet book of photographs by Edward Sheriff Curtis. He did this huge study of Native Americans during the late 1800's and early 1900's. He followed numerous tribes across the country learning of their ways and taking their photos trhoughout the process. There are some very amazing pictures in there. It's really cool, wouldn't be a bad idea checking him out. Here is a link if interested, ( http://www.curtis-collection.com/curtis/ ) The best thing was i got all those books for only $25, not bad in my head at all.

For these first two photos i tried a new technique to simulate an old style of of developing photos, its called lith . This is what gives alot of older photos that aged look that we think of with strong shadows and soft highlights as well that orangish tint. I just gave these two monochromatic though and for the "Fallen" one did a little cross prosessing action.

Almost the end!

It is Thursday, June 11, 2009 which means I almost done with this quarter of class! And it is about damn time. Been getting my ass kicked these past couple weeks. I am done with my video project now and just have a little bit to do for the 3D logo thing. Oh yea. In the realm of music i got a CD called Dead Alive by a band that goes by the name Soul Embraced. It is pretty good. I heard them on AOL's death metal radio station. They get played all the time. It has kind of a melodic style to it but yet stays heavy throughout it all. Kind of makes me think of The Absence or At The Gates. They're worth checking out if you haven't heard them. So even with all the crazy school and work schedule i have done i managed to get a few other personal pieces done. So now is as good as time as any to share them! ALSO, I added some new names over in the photography section to the right of this that are worth checking out. You'll also notice the design and illustration section. I'll be adding more onto that list as the days go by.

Monday Blues

So it's Monday again. Never really enjoy that day. Today is no exception either. I've got my 3D project i have to finish thats due today plus start working on two video projects due this week. Maybe my whole procrastination idea was not a good one. Either way i'll probably be here at the school damn near all day working on this stuff. Right now i'm just sitting around waiting on the lab to open up so I can start doin' work son. But, heres a few other images for you folks to check out.

I think i'll wait to procrastinate

Ah only a week or two until this quarter is over. You know what that means, i'm ripping out my hair due to a mental overload. It would probably help if i didn't procrastinate with everything in life and would actually have started some of these earlier. But what could be more fun than a little bit of procrastination? I've got a 3D version of Beavis to get done by Monday along with this interactive presentation thing about myself. Not to mention my final paper for Psych is due on Friday. Did i mention the video for another class thats due soon? Oh and the other random projects he said he's going to give us. How fun right?.haha. Either way, i've been spending countless amount of time in front of the computer working on stuff. Somehow i have still managed not write anything for awhile. When not actually doing work i've been looking up some cool tutorials to try out once i get done with some of these projects. In a future entry i'll put down some of those site in case anyone has photoshop. I'd do it now but what do you know, im at the school working on projects. I will however leave you with a new creation. I would do more but the uploader is actin up. So you'll get good group next time
