Photographic Memory

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 06:31:38 +0000

So I went to a young adults group and saw the guy in the photograph and recognized him. The photo was taken 2 and a half years ago at a concert in Santa Barbara. I also found out that someone else I know was at the same concert. It is a small world after all.

A few photos I shot while shooting video of my friend Art who is a talented BMX rider. Video to follow.

Tucker Boy!

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:32:08 +0000

Here is the before and after of a portrait of my Aunt’s late (great) dog Tucker. The photo was taken at Christmas 3 years ago (3 sessions into my Brooks experience), it was seriously underexposed, and a JPG I might add, which is much harder to save than a RAW file. Any hoo, I did a bunch of fancy stuff, including putting 5 layers of the image [screened] on top of each other which lightened every thing up a ton, but then I had to brush some black over his fur to get rid of the awful greenish noise. Many, many steps were involved, but it was so worth it for such a cute picture and lovely lovely dog.

Work Assignment: Adolfo Camarillo H.S.

admin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:34:45 +0000

Part of my job at the Oxnard Union High School District is to provide photos for the district and school websites. I was asked to photograph ACHSand these are the photos that I came up with. All but the very last one are currently viewable on the site at www.camarillohigh.us. One thing I have been struggling with is how to balance my current style, which is dramatic light and abstract imagery (at least that’s what I’m attempting) with the glossy, stock-photo look you’d expect to see on a public school’s website.

Bold as Love

I’ve been trying to come up with phrases or sentences that can be created using HTML tags. This is the only one I’ve since documented, more are likely to follow.

Hypergraphia Poster

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 06:02:32 +0000

This is a poster that I worked on for a couple of weeks during July and August. It took a long time and I am glad it’s (mostly) done. I never attempted anything like this before so I think it came out pretty great.

Chicago Reprise

I haven’t been working on anything artsy lately, but today I felt compelled to make a composite of the pictures I took while in Chicago. I hope to post more fun stuff soon.

… Three Years in the Making…

admin — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:43:26 +0000

After three years of intense work and fun, I am proud to say that I graduated from Brooks Institute. This is does not mean the end of my blog, but rather that I am starting a new chapter.

Brooks NPPA Site: LAUNCHED

admin — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:29:31 +0000

I have been working on the new Brooks NPPA site off and on for about 6 months, and very intensely the past month and a half. I’m happy to announce that it has finally launched. There are a few pages that need to be added, but all the current info is there and arranged quite beautifully if you ask me. Click the photo below to view the new site!

Lego Person In the Making

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:22:50 +0000

Here’s a sneak peak at a Lego person I am building for my final project in the digital animation class. I clothed it, and will soon attach arms and add a face. I will ultimately give it a make over, but for now it looks a little like Homer Simpson.

Gravity Roll

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:06:46 +0000

My most recent 3D animation of a ball rolling down a track. This animation was created using dynamic fancy math stuff rather than frame by frame animation. It has been interesting working with 3D animation but it is definitely not my forte. Click the photo to watch the animation.

Grow

I need to do more stuff like this, just creating graphics without purpose and by the whim of how the work unfolds.
