I'm doing this

Someday, I want to do this.

Amazing shots there, by the way. Please click through all of them. If not all, I'm especially taken with Robert Stolarik and Mario Tama. I still can't take it all in, cannot possibly fathom it, still cannot believe it happened...and I wasn't even there. Maybe I like to wallow in disbelief and horror, maybe America likes to forget and be entertained.

I wish I had more time to work with all the things I'm learning. Trying to put together a rather intense show in a month, grad portfolio review coming in 2 weeks, and I'm one of 4 people on the Senior Show committee for next year. This and the general craziness of school, work, and grad school apps coming up. Oh the trials, the tribulations.
This, and I'm rather fond of internet Scrabble.
I have also dropped my Sculpture II class, which makes me sad, but was a good decision. Now, if I had only figured that out before the deadline for refunds...

I'll put the (Aaron Douglas Mural Project)mural photos up soon. I'm going to miss that. It was fun meeting new people, feeling like a part of a community, being able to paint on a really frickin' big canvas. The unveiling and conference went well though.

The install for the Mulvane show went well, even though Topeka is devoid of culture and has to taint everything with money and fame, if anyone needs to see those photos (Made In China) it's them. Topeka is to L.A. what New York is to Lawrence. It's all about broad statements about massive cities and their collective priorities, my friend. Yeehaw.

i really love the cyanotype of the birds nest, and your portrait.
those are really gorgeous.

are the black and whites pinhole or holga?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's odd, taking digital files and translating them into cyanotypes. Feels a bit like cheating. But for now, it's all practice.

They're pinhole. Took me so long to get anything to come out of that cigar box I started being delighted when ANYTHING came out. I think that's why I like pinholes so much now. I am going to turn my Holga into a pinhole though.

[hearteststill.livejournal.com]

awesome. I want to get the pinhole attachment for my digital, just to play around and see what I can get.

I broke down and bought a sweet wooden pinhole from freestyle, and a polaroid back from ebay so I can shoot 4x5 negatives in all its glory.

Jill, you are truly amazing. And are we still kicking it first week of November?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Aww shucks.

And I sent you an email, lady! Or...something....maybe it was a stupid MySpace email. ANYWHO, I'm going up to Wisconsin on the 30th, but I'll be in Chicago starting Nov. 2nd. A friend and I got the school to pay for our lodging so we'll be hostelling it up.

So....
1. When and how long will you be there?
2. Are you going for SOFA?
3. Where are you staying? Because if you don't have anywhere, you should stay at the same hostel. Cheap and close to the Art Institute.

DAMN! I can't wait to see you!

[cinzazul.livejournal.com]

Shenanigans!

Also damn your californian time zone. I need to sleeeep.

I'll wait 5 more minutes to see if you come back and if not I'll just periodically check the board over the next day or so... is that how these games usually go?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's why I have multiple games going at the same time. And also, I am in KANS-ASS.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Thank yooooou!

[i-muad-dib.livejournal.com]

There is some great stuff in there. I like.
I also like the sculpture work I have seen but oh well. You'll carve some shit up regardless, I am sure.

So what is the er..digital cianotype process like? Are we talking about all photoshop or are you still using old processes in some way?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Digital cyanotype meaning I'm using inkjet transparancies as negatives. Same chemicals and everything.
