Anatomical Anomalies: Eyelip Disease: This disease begins with small, itchy, pimple-like boils around the mouth, followed by an uncontrollable appetite for gossip. After 1-2 weeks, the boils pop and small, fully functional eyeballs emerge.

The Art Of Drowning
I wonder how it all got started, this business
about seeing your life flash before your eyes
while you drown, as if panic, or the act of submergence,
could startle time into such compression, crushing
decades in the vice of your desperate, final seconds.
After falling off a steamship or being swept away
in a rush of floodwaters, wouldn't you hope
for a more leisurely review, an invisible hand
turning the pages of an album of photographs-
you up on a pony or blowing out candles in a conic hat.
How about a short animated film, a slide presentation?
Your life expressed in an essay, or in one model photograph?
Wouldn't any form be better than this sudden flash?
Your whole existence going off in your face
in an eyebrow-singeing explosion of biography-
nothing like the three large volumes you envisioned.
Survivors would have us believe in a brilliance
here, some bolt of truth forking across the water,
an ultimate Light before all the lights go out,
dawning on you with all its megalithic tonnage.
But if something does flash before your eyes
as you go under, it will probably be a fish,
a quick blur of curved silver darting away,
having nothing to do with your life or your death.
The tide will take you, or the lake will accept it all
as you sink toward the weedy disarray of the bottom,
leaving behind what you have already forgotten,
the surface, now overrun with the high travel of clouds.
Billy Collins
A beloved cannot ever escape the love that pursues them. Reject it, run from it, deny it, try to deafen it with the false love of another, but the love will remain. The lie of unworthiness is a curse, but you are loved regardless. False love possesses. Real love frees. But some spend a lifetime running...
I'm not sure why I'm posting these tonight at 4:21AM but I guess I've been thinking alot about Gomer. I wish she had a better name and I don't have to time to go through the story, but it can be read in the book of Hosea.
And this is Lauren. We didn't start by shooting the story of Hosea and Gomer, but as soon as I had her run that's who she became. I may turn this into an actual piece but for now, this is my starting vision of her and that story.

This was taken at the pool at my apt complex. My upper division Econ 184 final is tomorrow from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. I put together the powerpoint slides that are up online and binded it together so it'll be easier to study instead of scattered papers all over. This was taken during sunset (as you can tell by the color of the sky). It was very relaxing and easy to study.

I haven't posted in quite awhile due to a lack of interest and maybe other priorities.
One of my main priorities these days is getting rid of accumulated junk! This includes old clothing, like this satin gown. I realized that I acquired WAY too much clothing and accessories over time, and it was taking up lots of space. Some of my clothing was improperly stored, so it isn't worth wearing anymore. Other items, like this gown, I decided to donate to the thrift store community. That's where I found it to begin with, and that's where it's headed to once again.
One thing that was sobering was dealing with the sheer volume of clothing I acquired and making decisions about what to keep. Believe it or not, I threw away about 45 large bags of clothing -- the kinds of contractor bags that landscapers use to haul away leaves.
My process of shedding goes on and I make more secondary choices about what clothing I have left. I still have far too much.
Another sobering thing was realizing how much money I had spent over time at thrift stores. It never felt like a lot on any given day or week, but over time it does add up. Part of me would like to have that money back so I can go on a few fun trips or get something else really special. But I realize that buying clothing a bit at a time over the years somehow relaxed me and gave me something to look forward to.
Enough self-therapy. Here's to shedding my excesses!!

Hi everyone! It's hard to believe these additions to the ice tree series were taken only two days ago...the high was around 60 here today, under a sunny sky...all that remains of the ice display is a pile of ice on the shaded ground...after I finish this series, I PROMISE I'll fill your viewing with flowers, sunshine and anything unwinterlike!!! Have a wonderful evening...and stay warm! : )
OG Sour Diesel, kinda like a New York egg cream, or a Baltimore lake trout, if you know what I mean. So mild, it may improve certain studies!
Over a year ago my class visited the house of a Montreal architect after a site visit for a nearby project on the Plateau.
I didn't expect to ever post these images but looking through my library in what I hope will be a big clean up / paring down, I thought a series of images might be worth posting as a group - a study of a staircase in the house that remains particularly memorable.
In school we seemed to place an inordinate emphasis on stairs but I think there's good reason since it is one part of architecture with which we are forced into physical contact.
Studio time and a sketchbook pomegranate study. These actual dried pomegranates were snipped from a bush right outside the studio...and included a small bulbous grey spider which crawled out of the pod painted in the lower right corner. I am NOT a fan of spiders..so he was wisked from the scene immediately! I went with paint straight in...and added some ink flourishes as decorative highlights. Another day in paradise? Ahh...You betcha! .:)

My friend Justin, a portrait I took while we were on campus shooting a video for out Multimedia class :D
I remember meeting him in my Communication Studies class in first year because when I saw him he dressed well (wearing vintage Chanel frames to boot) and just had this look with someone I could get along with, sounds weird hahaha so I sat beside him one day and we talked about music and after I saw the Mad Decent wallpaper on his phone, knew it'd be good times :P
Have you ever had strange experiences with meeting new good friends? Or just looked at someone and knew you'd be friends?
Anywho, school's just about over, exams are coming up soon and I'm back here in toronto sitting in my pj's, eating leftover halloween candy and listening to this lovely mixtape
It's nice to be home, with real food and a comfrtable double bed and heat oh and washer and dryer you don't have to pay coinage for and walk up and down 3 flights of stairs for with doors that do not want to stay open...
Oh! And I wanted to venture into 35mm film so I picked up a Canon EOS-3 off kijiji (pics of that to come soon) I need to purchase some film now...recommendations for shooting about with my 85 1.2? Eye Control is so much fun. (more to come on that later too :P)
Merry December!
There's snow on the ground now!!!
studyguide:
calculator, pen and paper: basics -you know you need them
notes: well, who can remember all the stuff they read after all
laptop: the know-it-all friend that has become essential for a lot of us - and great for when you need to think about real life for a moment (thank you facebook)
and talking about essentials:
the book: you can't google your way through exams, READ THE BOOK
and last but not least the coffee to keep you alert and awake..
oh and the brain is also kinda useful in the process of studying for exams...

I was sure I can never have the time to do deliberate photographic studies, let alone - on a predefined subject and with a deadline. November sunshine proved me wrong: I had 5 minutes, the subject was 'shadows' and I saw them, in my own sitting room and garden. Next day I even found time to crop and clean them a bit, and here they are - for your critique :)
