I've been doing a lot of picture-taking and editing for my final photo project, but I don't particularly want to show any of it until the whole thing is done. So here's a random shot of some of my shoes:
A friend recently let me know about Skreened, a website that allows users to upload and print their own designs to tee shirts. I've opened up shop there, mostly for my own fun but also to allow other people to purchase my creations. My storefront can be found here.
Here is a photo of the print that I bought while I was in New York (it's about 8 inches square and is a two-color woodblock print):
Here are a couple of photos from my New York trip. Fist, a random street scape, and then a shot of the Armory (where the Print Fair was held):
Last weekend I went to New York City as part of a printmaking field trip. I went to the EAB Fair on Friday and the IFPDA Print Fair on Saturday, as well as a bunch of smaller galleries and openings. The Print Fair was amazing! THere were prints there by all sorts of printmakers, both extremely well-known (everyone from Andy Warhol and Sol Lewitt to Childe Hassam and Giovanni Piranesi) and up-and-coming.
My favorite exhibitor was probably the Verne Collection, which specializes in Japanese artists and artists of other nationalities living in Japan. Here are some of my favorite works I saw there (note that they are MUCH better in person):
I've been busy lately (and not taking many pictures), thus I've neglected this blog. A few things have happened; among them, Halloween was most awesome. I dyed my hair purple:
...I just like taking pictures. I recently had a critique in my photography class that really emphasized that I think more like a designer than like a photographer, whatever that means. Here's the picture that people DID like (though apparently I misinterpreted the assignment somewhat, because the color wasn't vital to the photo):
Today is Blog Action Day! The theme for this year is climate change. I don't have much to say about the subject that hasn't been said a zillion times before (including very thoroughly, concisely, and cheaply in this great little book), but it's always important to spread the word.
Here's another photo from my apple-picking trip (supporting local agriculture is just one of the many ways that individuals can help combat climate change):
I went apple picking yesterday with some friends, and brought home nine pounds of Cortlands. Here are a couple of shots from the trip:
Yesterday was the First Friday Art Walk, but before I sat around trying to sell stuff, my father and I spent a lovely part of the afternoon walking around Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth and taking photos:
