monochrome got harder...
the oranges were great pictures, but now i can't think of any other fruit besides limes. i know i'm going to base the next book off the waqwaq tree. faces grow off of it along with fruit.

but whooooo knows.
maybe i will work with trees and monochrome. maybe... but that seems dumb to me. and doesn't entirely fascinate me.

what do you do when you feel like the whole world is out to get you?
i'm so excited for summer. i can't wait anymore.

tomorrow i think i'm going to have a hour and a half session of yoga. then half hour of meditation. i think i need it more than anything right now.
and i need to get so much for prom... all i have is the dress! i need to decide on my hair, make up... yadda...yadda...yadda... tomorrow. i'll get all dressed up and see how it looks and if it looks okay...

can a documentary photograph be accepted as truth?
can it? well...no. if a picture is taken of a scene, it can be taken in different ways. a photograph speaks a thousand words. for example, if a photographer went to Iraq right now, and took a picture of an American shooting a gun at a local... it would look bad. especially if there was no story to it. for all we know, is that an American soldier is shooting at an innocent local. it doesn't look good on us.
... ALSO HELLO?! digital manipulation! completely changing the photo to make it look like something else.

i shot some pictures for monochrome... not all of them though.
i shot half film, and half digital. but i still have pictures to take for film.
i'm still trying to think of more pictures and how to take them. i'm not sure if i entirely understand this assignment.

visual journal. assignment seventeen.

free topic!

on saturday i drove down to AC. walked around for awhile, and me being me, forgot my sunblock... like usual! so i got a nice tan line... or burn line. at 6 i went over to the borgata. it's sosososo pretty there! there were glass sculptures everywhere! i loved it. but i wish we had rented a room and stayed over night. that would have been a lot easier and smarter... but too much money.
at 7 we went inside the event center. and waited on line. at 8 we were in the 5th row, waiting eagerly. the opener came on, mewithoutYou. looooovely. they were awesome way to get me pumped. at 9... everyone was chanting. "weezer, weezer, weezer..."then the lights went out and everyone screamed. then brian, scott, pat... and RIVERS came out. they were more than amazing. it was definatly the best show i've ever been to.
then along come sunday... bamboozle. my sunburn only got worse. i felt my skin boiling all day. but it was worth it. i saw the digg, motion city soundtrack, mute math, say anything, minus the bear, matt and kim, okgo, the devil wears prada, and the two best eveeeer... girl talk and weezer (yes, again!) and i was in the front for both girl talk and weezer. the crowds were insane... especially for girl talk. everyone was dancing and quite a few times i felt someone dancing on me... which got very awkward. it was so hot in there. the security threw water on everyone. but it was wonderful. in every way possible. spending time with the best people, and just having fun.
and i'm doing all my homework again for school! i'm completely on track. except with this book art... i feel like it's going to be late no matter what... it's almost done... but it will be late. but i think the quality of it is much more important than getting it in on time, it's something i would keep for a long time.
what else, what else... that's all for now i assume... bye!

everything is going at such a nice pace. nothing is going too fast anymore.
i bombed this marking period. it was terrible... but i guess i'm better now because i am out of this slump i went into. i am doing ALL of my work in prob&stat so i can't get screwed again. horrible class.

i started another book art at home.
it's this old fairytale book. i read it all, so no worries. and it was falling apart, so then it'll keep having use.

i am ready to get back to work!
taking two college classes this summer. nooooot very excited... there goes a part of my summer. no late nights and what-not, but that's okay.
this marking period i really messed up. BUT now that my life is back on track i am ready to:
-study
-go running/get into shape
-learn to cook more
-paint/draw more
-dress nice
