2010 in Pictures

2010 was a pretty awesome year for photography. I took more pictures than I ever have before (17,482 exposures) and completed my first project 365 (a photo every day). Here’s a few links and galleries:

The Bonneville Salt Flats

Driving to San Francisco from Utah on I-80, you’ll pass through the Bonnevile Salt Flats shortly before crossing the Nevada state line. There’s a rest stop smack in the middle of them, and it’s definitely worth stopping for. Pull over, stretch your legs, grab your camera and take some pictures. At least that’s what we…

100 Photos in 100 Days

From July – November 2009, I “made” something every day. Usually a photo, sometimes a video, but something got uploaded to Flickr daily. Here’s the full slideshow. View images individually here. Stay tuned for MSCED 2010.

A 60 Year Long Pool Party

My father recently found quite a few slides from 1948 and had them digitized for various reasons. One of those reasons probably wasn’t so that I could mess around with them with Photoshop, but I did anyway. Above is my version of my grandfather’s dive into a wonderfully blue pool. A bit different than the…

A flock of easter peeps

It’s that time of year again.. The time when a few of my pictures find meaning, popularity, and I feel particularly good about my photography. I took this shot a year or so ago and it’s always made me smile. (And no, there weren’t quite that many peeps. Oh, the wonders of photoshop.) Buy a…

open studios

Yesterday was open studios here at UCSC, meaning that as as Art major, I’m just about done with this quarter. Rock. I’ve been working on two big projects – the photo series that I’ve already posted images from, and a computer-art piece that’s slightly hard to explain. I made a huge digital frame, hooked it…

busy busy

The general lack of attention paid to this blog can pretty much be blamed on two art classes. As one of them results in something I can’t really put online, here’s some recent pictures from the other. planes! cars! ducks!

content management systems! hooray!

So, in an effort to replace the Zope/Plone craziness of kzsc.org, I’ve been looking into CMS alternatives. I know – exciting, right? It’s been a whole lot of uploading files, changing permissions and using the wonderful new tabbed terminal in Leopard. I’ve set up a few on this site so far, with only one looking…

it’s finally official

As of today, I’m a double art/film digital media major. Awesome. Quite the ordeal, I have to say. College 8 was a bit of a punk about it, and the film department was just plain silly at times. All and all, the Art department rocked, and was strangely efficient. Weird. Definitely glad I’ll never have…
