I only buy organic glow-in-the-dark strawberries.

Self-portraits, drawing style.

These are my latest pieces from my Drawing I class. The first one is a practice composite: on three separate pieces of paper, I practiced drawing my eye, nose, and mouth with charcoal. I then I put them together in Photoshop® just to see how they looked. 

This piece is drawn on transparent draft paper with graphite powder/pencil. The style has a sprinkle of inspiration from Jim Dine's self-portraits. It focuses mainly on volume, with only small portions given meticulous detail. The bottom half of the drawing is my frustration and curiosity revealing themselves with squiggles and texture. 

PS: I have no idea how to draw hair.

Fine Art video (for real this time).

Here's the link to the tweaked (better) version of my original Fine Art video, now that I found out we could in fact use cuts and editing. I'm only posting a link because video quality is horrible on Blogger, so I'll let YouTube do its job.

Here it is in all its glory.

Happy birthday mommy! PS: I am definitely your clone.

My first lightning shots.

       Rochester's weather is completely unpredictable. Completely. I can't even begin to describe it. Today, it was warm and sunny. I got a pleasantly slight sunburn on my way to class. I donned shorts and a sleeveless shirt and opened the windows and listened to birds outside.
I just took these pictures a half hour ago.

2am photographs.

       Last night, fog swirled all around RIT's campus and beyond. My friend and I drove around and soaked in the feeling of driving through a cloud at twilight. As we were about to turn in for the night, we passed RIT's Barnes & Noble book store. What struck me was how beautifully a small hill was framed by a parking lot street light's sharp beams, intensified by the fog. After my friend dropped me off, I immediately grabbed my camera and tripod and headed back over there.

As I prepared to drive back home, I noticed a beautiful shadow on my leg of the condensation that collected on the car window. Yes, I wear men's boxers.

Fine Art Video.

One of my assignments for my Fine Art Photography class is to create a 30-60-second video -- all one take, no editing. After a few days of brainstorming and falling flat on my face with other ideas, this is what I came to complete (and actually like).

I apologize for the quality. Uploading videos to Blogger is useless.
