Neglect.

Oops.

I guess my summer will remain undocumented as far as blogspot goes. But...I do have pictures from my first Fundamentals project.

Breaking the Ice. Ten strangers. When I heard about this project last year, I was terrified. I really ended up surprising myself. Everyone I spoke to was really kind to me, and nobody turned me down. I wasn't even afraid to approach them either. I guess I just feel way more confident this year. That being said...I am still a little worried about this Honest Emotion project.

Lonnie Wood. My favorite.

Bill Felice, a limo driver from New Jersey.

Bob Mays (who ended up being a photographer himself. He liked me because I "shot Canon").

Staci McGee. I was driving through the local park back home, and saw that a wedding was ending. I pulled over, and took a shot of the bride. I was proud of myself, but it's too bad the lighting did not agree with me.

Cami Logan. Rob has her too...darn it all.

Laura Bentley. A lovely lady from El Salvador.

David Raye, guitarman.

Nick Peckham. This boy had a really cool family. I am considering calling up his mom for a final project.

Virginia Muller. She doesn't watch TV anymore.

H. Carolyn King. Part Cherokee and part French. Totally cool.

And It Will Feel Like Home...

So...I'm home. It's kind of strange. It's graduation weekend here, so it's pretty hectic. It makes me think of how I felt last year around this time. So hopeful. My first year of college was infinitely better than four years of high school, but I realized that it doesn't change everything.

I miss Sparky's. I think I ate it pretty much everyday during the last couple weeks.

Nothing compares.

Now that I am home, I can chill with my cats. People change, but they don't.

Hey Alyssa.

Alyssa and her new/old Nikon FM. I want one.

My friend Wil had a bunch of people over for a mini-bonfire.

He lives out in the country, so the view in his backyard is just beautiful.

So is Sadara. Too bad taking this picture made her drop her hot dog.

Hell Week.

Papers. Exams. Papers. Exams.

I just finished editing my final paper for Psych 1000H and wrote my last event paper for J1100. Once I take the Psych exam and listening portion of the French final tomorrow, it will be smooth sailing. I've been lucky enough to only have two finals for both semesters. I am finally starting to destress, but once time gets closer to my exam tomorrow, I will start freaking out again. I felt "supremely confident" before my J1100 exam today, but then epic failed when I realized I didn't bother to read some stupid case study about basketball. Oh well. When it doubt, go with TRUTH!

I am pretty terrible when it comes to sporty kind of shooting (if you can call Frisbee a sport). This was about the only halfway decent shot I got that didn't involve massive blurz (and not the good motion kind).

Intense Rob. As always. He was nice enough to drive Beth and I around to look at a possible house for next year. It was perfect and lovely, but I don't think we will end up getting it. Le sigh. 

School stress is lessened by cigars. 

I have NEVER taken a decent picture of Derek. He is so handsome, but tends to make an awful face every time a camera is pointed his way. I am glad this one turned out (with the lovely background of Ag buildings). There is a cool little park we went to on a walk, and I took the nice nature-y kind of shots that follow. 

Woah. Camera shake. I actually like this though, just because it looks like a painting. A super emo painting. 

I want to sit here all day. 

Typical waterfall shot. Y'know.

And lastly, another Holga shot I really like.
