les photos.

someone likes to procrastinate instead of studying for her midterm.

here is some photography.

35mm:

120mm (holga)







taken with a pinhole camera made of a purse:

all shot on film (with the exception of the pinhole in which the paper was exposed directly), developed, and printed in the darkroom, the old-fashioned way. my digital camera has been seeing a lot less of me lately.

and in case anyone's wondering, the holga photos were shot at animaland, a park that my grandparents own. it has a bunch of animal sculptures that were made by an old family friend, who passed on the park to the family when he died. it used to be a huge tourist attraction, but the highway got moved and people stopped coming, so it's been closed for a few years. now, they're building a huge new mine in the area, some of which you can see in the background.

here's some art for you.

hey, while i'm here, here's an art post.

this is a sampling of what i accomplished in my first semester at mount allison. today's theme: printmaking. enjoy.

i actually knit the texture for this etching, and transferred it to the plate.
not the best print of it, it's overwiped, but these photos are the rejects from my editions that i didn't have to pass in.

a styrofoam reduction print.
i like my yarny things, if you didn't know.

lino print, lyrics by the wonderful wolf parade.




another etching. again, not the best print. this was a reject from an edition of ten.




i have a love-hate relationship with printmaking. i can't decide if i want to take it or photo again next year, along with sculpture. i get so frustrated with the process, but i love the results it can create. other than lino, which i just love all around.

i forgot.

oh, hi, blog. i forgot about you.

i've been pretty busy lately, i guess. i spent the entire weekend doing a religious studies midterm, which i still have one sentence left to do and can't think of a way to tie it together. i also have an art history midterm coming up on tuesday that i haven't even begun to think about yet.

oh, life.

i find myself wanting it to be summer, which is rare for me. i'm going to live a wonderful bohemian lifestyle involving bicycles, fresh vegetables, streams and waterfalls, and vintage things.

but for now, i get snow and midterms.

and i lost my keys last thursday. i'm hoping they'll show up tomorrow, but it's not looking good. i really would rather not spend the almost one hundred dollars to get them replaced.
