ball and a boxed cat

Okay, so I guess there's no one to blame but me for this lack of posting. I've been busy! School, life, etc =  no good quality time with my camera. But I did have a short break from the craziness over spring break, unfortunately home is not the best place for me to continue taking pictures. But I did snag this one of my cat, Dandelion, inside her cathouse. I promise I'll be back to shooting and posting eventually!

film

 So as I mentioned before, I'm in a film photography class at school right now. It's so interesting! But way too expensive. Anyways, that is the main reason why I haven't been posting as much lately. Shooting, developing, and printing takes MUCH longer than shooting, editing, and uploading. Anyways, here are my first three assignments from class.
The first is city/landscape. My teacher was indifferent to these. She didn't say they were great, she didn't say they were awful... just ehh.

The second assignment was portrait. I did my roomie, Taylor. My teacher LOVEEED them and thought they were great..(well all except the middle one with the book). I didn't really like that one either.

The third assignment was self portrait. This was so difficult. I had my boyfriend hold the camera in the position I wanted, but he always ended up moving. This resulted in cutting off my elbows, leaving too much head space, and making me unfocused in about 85% of the pictures. But I managed to print five decent ones! My teacher hasn't critiqued these yet (Tuesday!) but from what she said while I was printing, I think she'll like them... somewhat.

If I get ambition (and a scanner) I will upload some of my best from throughout the semester. Probably not until December though.


UPDATE: (11/1/11) My teacher thought my self portraits were amazing. In fact, best in the class! I got an A and I'm super pumped.

I like this thing. Salem, MA.

one after another

 Birds are so funny. They follow each other everywhere. While walking around Central yesterday I saw these guys in the hedges in front of the post office. They saw me and decided it would be safer to move up higher on the building. Once the first bird went, a succession of the rest followed in one fast sweep. It was crazy. It makes me wonder why all birds think the same.

Two of the happiest dogs I've ever met. They're from this awesome little organic farm in Goldsboro, Maine (Darthia Farm).

My feet. Size 7. Buy me some (vegan) shoes please.

le vent est grand

It was so windy tonight, I'm surprised these flowers didn't fly up out of the ground. I took this near Drews Lake, Maine at one of my favorite spots. I watched the wind make its way across the lake before it finally hit me. It was so powerful.

We picked some daisies today.

My lazy cat being a wonderful model.

He reminds me of a Buddha.

water and dangers

 Beaching, yet again.

sandy cheeks

It's true, I'm the creeper at the beach always taking pictures of other people. This little boy was running around pantsless from his mom. He got distracted and sat down in the waves though, and she had time to catch up to him. Now you know why this is called "sandy cheeks".
