Spectra

I recently won some polaroid spectra film on eBay which i received in the mail today. I put the film into a polaroid spectra camera that i got a little while ago but never had film to test it with. Anyways, long story short, my camera is broken and i have some film that got fucked up. Instead of tossing the pictures, i decided to draw little things on them.

Jas Kuo & The Prostitots

I remember living in the dorms with Neal (all the way back in the land of last year) and walking into his room (failing to knock before i entered) and seeing him as his computer, headphones on, garage band on the computer screen, and making beepy sounds with his keyboard. I remember sitting in the moat or in Amy's room carrying conversations with friends and then all of a sudden hearing the conversation i JUST HAD repeated at me with vocal distortion. Neal's been making some pretty awesome music. Music that is not just awesome because i love Neal, but music that is awesome because it makes you want to dance, music that you want to listen to while driving fast, and you know, he works under the name Jas Kuo and the Prostitots, and that's pretty awesome too.

Listen here.

i love a man in uniform

reposting this just because. i have been disappointed with my pictures recently. my film camera might be broken. i need to get inspired.

Bath

More creepy photos of my friends bathing.

McFu

Decorate

Decorating the apartment more. I got these really cute little clips from Beverly's, a craft store in Capitola and i've been using them to hang photos, feathers, dandelion seeds, library cards, posters, cards, and photobooth photo strips onto some yarn.

More Katrina

For once somebody else asked me to take shower photos rather than me being a creepster and asking other people if i can take shower photos of them. This seems to be a growing trend because another friend has also asked me to take shower photos of them as well. I'm not complaining though, the more opportunities to get some water droplets in motion, the happier i am.

Fucking Hell

Watched these in my Video Games as Visual Culture class today. The first is a video titled Fucking Hell by the Jake and Dinos Chapman. The second video is a Halo 3 trailer made to emulate the Chapman video. Anyways, i thought that they were pretty cool and i think i want to do something similar. You know, elaborate set ups with toys filmed as a film and with epic music. A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.

Katrina Herrera

Took photos with this cutie today. Seriously, Katrina is one of the sweetest girls i've ever met and shooting with her was a lot of fun. She is also my very first paid gig and that makes me feel super bubbly on the inside. Definitely more to come from this set.

First Rain

This is a video that i took of the first heavy rain of the school year. I have been trying to use my video function on my camera more often as well as compiling video that i want to later use for a project. I think i might do a video series surrounding around water.

Excuse the tv talking in the background. I need to learn how to edit video and cut that stuff out.

Santa Cruz so far

I love my new camera :]

Toast

I eat a lot of toast now. Before i never ate toast and actually sort of disliked it. Probably because the butter was too hard and whenever i'd try to smear it on my bread it would just break the bread in half. Anyways, now i am just absolutely crazy over toast. It's really easy to make, light, and inexpensive. All you need is bread and a toaster. You can fancy it up by spreading butter on it. I like to put butter on it and then put bits of avocado and a pinch of salt. Here is a picture of the avocado toast that has become a staple in my diet.

Big Moves

Just wanted to say how happy i am for my friend Taylor's band Big Moves for their interview sesh with DJ Garth Trinidad over at KCRW. Go over to their myspace to have a listen. If you like what you hear, they're playing a show this weekend at the Roxy.

The above pictures were taken last winter.

Mirrored

I see a candlestick.

My Chcolate E-Claire

When i first moved into the apartment, i did the easiest thing first, which was to make my bed. I figured that if i didn't unpack all my things like a good little girl, at least i would still be able to sleep in a comfy bed. When i crawled up onto the last remaining bunk to cover in my soft squishy blankety goodness, i found this note from my roommate from last year, Claire. It's really strange to me that Claire and I are no longer living with each other. I can't just scream her name when i can't find her, and she'll come into the room and go "SPAGET!." :[ I miss you, Claire!
