I Need To Work on Concentrations.... But on the other hand I am doing everything but that






I finally have legit PhotShop CS6!!!
I saved and saved and I got the Student and Teacher Edition which is much cheaper, but still the same thing.  Now I can work with layers and make panoramas and work on my concentrations completely at home. Above are two more pictures from when I went to Pittock Mansion, and the extra three are from an especially stormy Barview Jetty Beach just outside of Tillamook with snow in the mountains.

Happy Holidays




Above Portland at Pittock Mansion, December 22, 2012
Long exposure shots (3 sec for the top picture, 5 for the bottom one)
It was cold indeed, but beautiful to see the city at night; it has kind of become a tradition.

Scavenger Hunt!


-What We Are Really Thankful For- (Above)
I am thankful for nature/seasons because each season gives us different perspectives on how we view something.  This tree would look a lot different in Winter or Spring than it would now.  I also really enjoy nature and am thankful to live in a place that has so much of it!




-Dead Meat- (Above)
Doesn't that portion of turkey look dead?  I wouldn't be eating it if it were alive though...that would be gross.



-Art Student Over The Break- (Above)
I spent a lot of my time getting some sleep, maybe a little too much. 




-Bliss- (Above)
A nice cup of tea always makes me feel better :)






-American Stereotype(s)- (Above)
(Choosing the black friday ads as grading)
I took a bunch of different pictures of stereotypes, my favourite one turned out to be the black friday ads because it is awful that we are thankful for the things that we have one day and then just hours later we are either trampling each other to get the latest and greatest toys for ourselves or other people just at cheaper prices.  Its rather sad.  I can see that when people are getting things for other people it is a good thing, but when you're making fights over it, it's just not the way.  The other two photos signify the fact that Americans eat too much fast food and are almost dependant on it. (some people)



-Dysfunctional- (Above)
Add-on (Not part of Bliss)
This photo came into my head when I was cleaning up my room, I though that this was dysfunctional because the keyboard is up on the wall and the mouse is on top of the computer.  Not very functional or practical to say the least. 




6 Photos I Never...

This is Like one of those Infomercials on TV where they're selling the Greatest Hits of 2012 Cd's: These are my Best of Photos so Far In Studio Art

 There are a few extra in which I have never uploaded for any project before.  It's like a new assignment; Upload pictures of things that were not for assignments and on your own time!  I have been learning so many new things in studio art and I hope to keep working at it :D
