And Now I Live in the Suite of the Red Hand

What I'm Doing

Lot's of things, not that you can tell. I now have 25! projects on my to do list.  I'll release a list later with notes... maybe.  Dany has come back from studying abroad in China. I just finished a shoot with her and Ellen. This is for The Adoration (andyouamagi), but I'm still not satisfied with how the image is coming out.

I've started considering ideas for my final show next year and the thought terrifies me :P

What I've Been Seeing 

The famous St. Mary's shoe tree 

Deer Outside the window of my new place

A Moon like a Coin in the Sky 

A hundred shades of Green 

She's So Prickly!

Look at the Signs!

Vertical and Diagonals that make a composition 

College Cooking 101. Yum?

A beauty and trope 

A car racing against a divided sky 

Night and a new lot

The night sky outside my new place, taken with a cellphone. But I like it!
