Another of my famous still-lifes.

Don't know what to say really. I don't think it's too artsy or exciting, but I do think it has a message... ;)
I enjoy its simplicity, for sure. =)

This is Jamie's rose a week later, haha! No, but that would be really cool, wouldn't it?!

I have dried one flower from every bouquet I've gotten since I can remember. These are two of them. Honestly, I couldn't tell you who gave me the flowers, but I just love having them around.

Not entirely thrilled with the contrast in the picture, but I think it's as good as it's going to get. One of these roses used to be white and the other was a dark pink I believe, so there isn't much more contrasting I could do without blowing out the whole picture. =(
I do think it's pretty interesting, though. =)

I used the laminator for my first time ever today! This is the result.
I thought it was at least a little cool-looking. =) All the letters were scattered all over the see-through plastic? Very cool. And it smelled like hot glue!

Whoa three in a row black and white... (and more to come, I think...?!)

I really liked all the lines in this picture (which is why I took it), even though it's a pretty plain picture. It's just the view out my window (which I SO appreciate, actually).
So enjoy, I guess?

Another day of more blog than photo.
This was just too cute to resist, however staged it was...

Barbi came over today! I made her let me take pictures of her. And of course I threw Lyss in there as well. They're probably my favorite two people to photograph in B+W.
This picture isn't the best picture of them, per se, but I really like all the different patterns and shades going on here. I had a pretty hard time deciding which one to put up, but you can see the rest of them in the March facebook album =)

Today was the end of lyrics week. It felt weird to be able to photograph anything I wanted today and not have to wait for the time that I could scrawl lyrics on something and make them visible, etcetc. It was nice to have that freedom, but I almost forgot to take pictures again.

I took a bunch of pictures of Jamie's lights, but this one was the beeest. I really like it. It's so simple, but so pretty. I guess I've been playing with light and dark recently, too.

I think this would be a fun print to plan a room around.

A little bit of John Mayer for a Saturday night. I felt it was appropriate. It almost seems like a war protest picture to me.

And along with that, I wonder if anyone is stealing my pictures from the internets yet. I hope not. =(

So this is a little emo, but I think, given the song that iTunes picked, I did a pretty decent job. It could have been much worse, I think!

I won't tell you my fabulous technique (how I got the words in the sink), but I'm sure if you think for, oh, a second, you could probably figure it out. Okay, maybe I'm overestimating how obvious it is. I did feel quite clever when I thought of this.

You all will have to tell me how this compares to the other sink picture when I post my February pictures on facbeoo. =)

I forgot to take pictures today (Thursday).

I know, I know. I'm a horrible person. However, I did think of a clever lyric to make up for it, and then forced Kaity to have a photoshoot with me. Lovely! And I got this AMAAAZING picture out of it. This could be one of my all-time (this year) faves. It might help that I'm a pretty big fan of this song. But it also helps that she is a superior model.

I don't think I'm going to say anymore. I think I'm going to let the picture speak for itself.

iTunes chose today's song of the day- "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)." It did a good job! My original plan was to write on the window and take pictures of that. However. That did not work.
This turned out slightly better. I wish I could have moved the mirror, though. It was stuck where it was on the door and there are so many posters on the wall that were kind of getting in the way. I still like this more than I anticipated, though. Although I did a lot of color editing and such. Ah, well.
That's Barbi Bear in case you were wondering. ♥

Today was a "Just Keep Swimming" kind of day. It's kind of a "Just Keep Swimming" kind of week. It's midterms. Ugh.

I wasn't sure whether I liked this shoot, but I actually kind of like the way the comforter can pass for waves, with the blue and the diagonal creases. I also like some of the fishies that are swimming the wrong way. I think they're cute. And fun. Good for them for swimming against the crowd...

And these poor Goldfish got eaten after their photoshoot!

Aw, song day part deux! Today's song was "Everyday" by Dave Matthews Band. It was the song of the day (dad-style... ie I woke up with it stuck in my head...) and you can watch the video here!

I had a really cool photo shoot with Eve and Jame and Lyss, but I had to cut it short for various reasons, and didn't realize that I hadn't actually gotten one with all of them smiling which waaasn't blurry. But I ended up really liking this one in black and white. =)

You should really listen to (and love) this song.

This week is going to be my song lyrics week. Every day I want to take a picture either explicitly representing song lyrics or a picture which, like this one, includes the lyrics in it. I think it will be a fun challenge. Day One went pretty well!

This is a lame song, but I like the picture. It was really hard to chalk this, though, because the surface isn't really prime chalking surface. =(
Luckily I pulled through. Also, it was a little cold, which is what I'll blame the crooked lines on... And the sidewalk was gross with salt stains. If I do chalk again, I'll have to find a cleaner sidewalk...
HAHA.
Stay tuned, fooolks!

I'm getting up there in days! I'm ... 1/7 done? Ish.

Oh Sofi. ♥

Anywho, it was nice to spend some qualitay time with my kittay! She's such a good model. Look at her "Staring off into the distance" look! She's a natural. It creeps me out, a little, how skinny her pupils are though...

My blog dulled the colors! LAME.

Oh well.

Jamie's uncle? cousin? I can't keep track... Anyway, some male relative sent her this flower. Which I took full advantage of. So thank you, Mr Someone Somehow Related To My Wonderful Roommate...

I had a problem with this "photo shoot" that I don't have with a lot of my others, which was the crazy sun! It was soo bright. I had to DEsaturate everything!
CRAZY.

I have a zillion edits of (basically) this shot that I kind of like. You'll see them all on facebook in a week or so, when I do my month-end roundup.

Today's kind of a cheating day.
I want to submit some of my art to the Rolling Stonehill, so I spent a lot of time editing some of my older pictures and I was hoping it would count for today. Please, guys? Please? ...

Anyway. I love this picture. I took it on the ferry ride over to Frye Island once this summer. It was my first time driving up to Maine by myself (not that I couldn't before, but usually there's no need to take a separate car...). It was kind of a big deal for me for whatever reason. It has always been a family drive and for me to do it by myself was just ... symbolic, I guess.
I love this picture for a couple of reasons, though, including the straight-up admission that I just love Frye Island. But I also love the mirror in this picture, and also the sky. I think it's a really neat composition (if I do say so myself... which I do...). It's almost a little mind-puzzle-esque...

And Fiona reappears in my photoblog! Congratulations, girl, haha!

I love this scene. I have to admit that I encouraged her to make the bears kiss, but I think the way she's looking at them is just classic. It's so "little kid." And I think it looks like a very sweet interaction going on between the bears, too. Like the boy bear just gave flowers to the girl bear and she's so happy and now they're kissing! ...It's okay that I'm ridiculous... right? Good. =)

I kind of wish that one bear wasn't white, though. Oh well.

I love when it snows when we're in class! Walking to Duffy from the Ed building I saw this cool footprint pattern.

It was really slippery...

Fiona was watching the Olympics with Jame and me. Sort of. She was really actually flipping through my Spanish version of People magazine. I like this picture because she looks gooorgeous. =)
But I also like it because of the motion of her hand. I just think it's cool.

Not a big fan of the hugely cluttered background (brought to you by my little bed nook...), but what can ya do?
