Trip to the cemetary

Mackenzie and I went to the Old Shasta cemetary. I was planning to do some long exposure shots but the light was too bright (we got there at 4.) I shot the long exposure shots at f/22, 1" exposure, ISO 100. It was a ridiculous amount of fun making her run around like a crazy person in the cemetary... but only a few shots worth showing:

I'm so restless since coming home. I've been trying to do some photoshoots, but appear to have lost my touch. Maybe I am too critical now. I think the overwhelming course load and one-track state of mind has left my brain only capable of doing scholastic things. I sit down to draw and nothing really comes out. There are so many creative things I want to do, and have been sketching in my book but I can't find my muse when the time comes.

Anyways... here is my latest photoshoot... I am marginally satisfied with the outcome. However a strange light refraction in the first 3 shots (above Mackenzie's head) appear to look like faces. Kind of creepy but interesting.

Finally figured out how to export to flash. Enjoy one of my previous projects I made in flash. :D

My handmade earrings

I started making earrings- so far I've made about 30 pairs. I sold 10 this week to a boutique in Chico! They specialize in vintage/thrift/couture clothing. That was so exciting for me, as it was my first official sell to a store. They asked if I had a name for my brand... which I am still trying to come up with. Anyways here are a few:

My new painting

Here are three shots taken at different stages of my new painting (my first attempt at working on a canvas and oil paint.) It might have gotten a bit cluttered by the end, but I think it is still a work in progress for now.

Art from my journal

Slave driver (don't have a scanner so the flash kind of washed it out in the middle):

 

Mr. Treeman (is surrounded by freeflow of words):

Ramshead (Also surrounded by a stream of consciousness kind of writing):

Jackie Gleason records

It's a Jackie Gleason kind of night with the addition of my latest buy: Aphrodisia. All the records after Aphrodisia are other Gleason ones that I own. Note the best campy covers you will ever see!
