"[...] Content to operate at an almost infuriating level of consistent quirkiness..."

The other day I went to a high school talent show, and I just wasn't feeling it. The lights were off backstage, nothing was happening in the hallways. I got it into my head that there was NO good picture to be made (even though there always is, you just have to look.) It was an optional assignment, so there was no real pressure, but I hate walking away with nothing. So when Neil dared me to make a good picture, I knew I had to come away with something. I saw this girl come and stage, and bam, light bulb. I took a couple with the painting, but then I went in for the picture I knew I wanted -- which is the one Neil ended up running on A1. It's a little thing, but it's always sweet to see the unexpected photo run.

And since we're on the topic of weird portraits, here's one I shot a couple days later of my good friend Jake May. Nothing better than hanging out making pictures and having fun. Here he is, in all his bearded glory.

Something wicked this way come...

Paige and I spent an ungodly amount of hours in the computer lab over the weekend. On Sunday, we got into the lab at about 11am, and we didn't leave until 2pm on Monday. And Sunday was a pretty swell day weather-wise....We felt like we were trapped. We almost died. This is Paige looking out the lone window onto the sunbathed campus. People were enjoying the day. We were going insane.

Oh, and Sara eventually stumbled into the lab as well after shooting all day.

The project will be up soon.

In the mean time, here is a picture of me as well. Tired as all hell. Working on my video. 60+ frames printed out and laid on the floor as I listened to my video over. and over. and over.
