Alright, we’ve reached the dramatic conclusion! This collage project did incorporate some of the suggestions that you guys gave me, but unfortunately I could not incorporate all the ones I received (sorry!). However, I think that the final product is radiant. I incorporated ideas of interior/exterior in order to show that you can be whoever […]
Alright, we’re back on track. This post is all about the concept art that will go into the final collage edits – I chose to work it out in Photoshop beforehand rather than draw and erase over and over (I’m much better at vectoring than using hand-eye coordination!). I used two reference pictures for this […]
I am at an impasse. I have come to love the broadsheets that I have created for the collage project so much that I feel it would almost be better to leave them as is (as opposed to cutting them up into all sorts of cool shapes), although that was not my original intention for […]

Being a baker, I am notoriously addicted to clear and simple recipes to follow (embellishing here and there as I see fit). […]
I think that a lot of people find photography intimidating or feel that they don’t have a good enough camera/supplies. Well, I’m here to tell you it’s all in your head (as does this blog, this blog, and even this blog).As point-and-shoot cameras are becoming more and more sophisticated, they can be used in a […]
There’s not much left in this batch… I wonder who’s been eating it all… As my life has been taken over by theorizing how the body works in society and reading Nabokov, you can imagine that I’ve been caught up in the cerebral a lot these days.Yet, whenever I spend too much time reading […]
