Graduate School Portfolio

2011-12-13T21:49:00.000-08:00

Ever since I started the process of applying for graduate schools, I've been consistently asked two questions; Where am I applying to? and what am I going to show in my portfolio? While my school choices are floating around a bit, I have a pretty clear idea of what I'm going to put in my portfolio. I just thought I'd give ya'll a peek at what I'm submitting. It's a collection of images from my Mitt Hem Min Lycha portfolio and my current series 1,000 Paper Cranes for Bruce Bowman. If you are unfamiliar with my current series, you can go check out my blog devoted to it (http://1000cranesforbruce.blogspot.com/). I hope this quenches some people's curiosities about what I've been up to. Maybe I'll only be ask one question consistently now. =)

Liz & Geoff's Wedding

2011-09-03T21:30:00.000-07:00

What better way spend a Labor Day weekend, than at the wedding of a couple of amazing people. Even thought this summer has been almost unbearable with the drought, the occasion was blessed with a cool breeze. A beautiful sunset during the ceremony made for a romantic setting and helped with the heat. Overall, a super fun event for a super fun couple. I wish Liz and Geoff all the best!

Liz's Bridal Luncheon

2011-09-03T16:30:00.000-07:00

Nothing could be more fun than a pre-wedding luncheon with these ladies.

Liz & Geoff's Rehearsal Dinner

2011-09-02T21:35:00.000-07:00

Rehearsal dinners are pretty common, but nothing is ordinary about a McKinley gathering. You can always expect fun, great people, and a little bit of Pizz-A-Ghetti.

Carrie

2011-08-31T20:30:00.000-07:00

Grayson's cousin, Carrie, is currently working on recording an album. Haven't heard it yet (hoping I get to soon), but I have listened to Carrie sing before. She is very talented. I have no doubt her album is going to be awesome. She asked me to take some photos of her for online use to promote her music. It's hard to say no to someone who so much fun to hang out with.

Isabella the Baby

2011-08-20T20:08:00.000-07:00

When my friend, Marianne, was having her baby shower back in June, I was stumped at what to get her. Everyone was getting her baby clothes, diapers, and toys. I wanted to get her something she wasn't already getting and something she didn't know she really wanted. I made her a mobile out of paper cranes, but I also gave her a certificate for baby photos once her little girl arrived. She was so excited about the photos. Well, the other day she said she was ready for those portraits, so we met up and got some cute ones!

Liz & Geoff's Engagement Portraits

2011-06-23T16:40:00.000-07:00

When I heard that Grayson's cousin, Liz, was engaged, I was super excited; especially when she asked me to be her photographer. I've been around Liz and Geoff a few times, but while taking their engagement portraits, I could really see that they are truly in love. Usually during engagement sessions, it can be hard to get the couple to act like they are in love; however, Liz and Geoff couldn't stop giving each other oogly eyes! It's so awesome when you see that love between two people, especially ones you like. =D

Melanie & Jim

2011-02-23T21:58:00.001-08:00

On February 12, 2011, Grayson's mom Melanie and Jim got married! This is the first wedding I have shot solo, so it was a good starter one. I'm so happy for the two of them. Here are a few shots from the event.

thank you.

2010-10-06T20:28:00.001-07:00

New blog post on 1,000 Paper Cranes for Bruce Bowman. Needless to say it is about my father's passing. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive and helped my family through these last few months. This is the most difficult time my family has ever faced and we've had a pretty rough time these last 5 years. There is nothing more I can say but...

thank you.

Hat for my Dad

2010-01-15T19:40:00.000-08:00

For those of you who don't know me, or haven't seen me in a year, my dad is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Much like I was, he is experiencing issues with the loss of his hair. So I decided to make him a new hat with my new found knitting skills. I think it turned out well and he likes it much better than his store bought hats, which equals success! =D

Here is the pattern for this hat:

Knitting... it's just the beginning

2010-01-10T20:22:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine has been bugging me to let her teach me how to knit for some time now, and it was something I wanted to learn, I just never got around to getting together with her to learn. Well a couple of weeks ago I had a free moment or two and decided to get her to teach me. I've had so much so far and I have a whole list of things I wanna make! I've gotten to the point where I dream about starting new projects. My friend has created a monster...

Here is the pattern for this scarf...

Mitt Hem Min Lycka

2009-10-15T18:53:00.000-07:00

These images are the start of my series, "Mitt Hem Min Lycka". They are panoramic views of the homes of my family and family friends. In the images, I set out to explore the ways in which these people have personalized their homes to fit their needs and personalities. It is a work in progress, so more images should be coming in the future.

Twitter

2009-08-13T10:00:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

So it looks as though I have joined that entity known as Twitter. I have to say it is alot more entertaining that I originally thought it was going to be. I think it has alot to do with the people you are following. Which brings me to my next point, if you are on Twitter you should follow me. That's the biggest update I have for now. I will be posting the Mitt Hem Min Lycka photos soon. Stay posted.

Lighting Strategies Final- Hats

2009-05-05T19:55:00.000-07:00

These images made up my final for my Lighting Strategies class. I found all these really cool hats that used to belong to my grandmother, and they were all in great shape. I decided to photograph them in order to preserve their memory. Many of the hats, especially the feather ones, were very delicate and falling apart. For many of them, this would be the last time they would be worn.

Lighting Strategies- Random

2009-05-02T19:46:00.000-07:00

Here are some random images from my Lighting Strategies class. We had a couple of assignments, so I have pulled some of my favorite photos from them to show here.

Simulacra Finale

2009-04-05T17:34:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to see Simulacra. We had a great turnout opening night, despite the rain. I believe there were about 300 people there! We also had countless people come over it's 3 week run. Thank you so much for supporting our senior class. It means so much to every student that everyone came. I also want to thank the faculty at St. Edward's that helped us get the show together and offered to Critique and talk to us about our work. I thank you for your time. Lastly, thank you to my class for working together to put on a spectacular show. Thanks for the cooperation. It was fun. =D

I took some images of the gallery and the work presented, I hope you enjoy it.

Arkie's Grill

2007-12-13T12:21:00.000-08:00

I documented a restaurant called Arkie's Grill on East Ceasar Chaves in Austin, TX. Arkie's Grill maintains a regular cliental. Many of the customer are working class men between 40-65 years of age. There are few female customers and even more rare are children or young customers. Even though they are only open Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch, the tables remain full and there is hardly standing room to wait. Arkie's employees have been working there for a long time. They are on a first name basis with the majority of the customers and seem to have a great time chatting and serving up the daily specials. The restaurant has been around for 60 years and one can see the history posted on all the walls. It is a fun and cozy place to get some home cooked food, and meet some friendly people. I believe Arkie's Grill is a landmark of Austin that deserves to be documented.

Looking In: Xi'an, China

2007-07-05T20:00:00.000-07:00

During my stay in Xi’an, China, I was fascinated by the local lifestyle and populace. The restaurants and markets are so lively and vibrant; filled with people socializing, shopping and relaxing from their busy lives. These bazaars captivated me with the individuality of their clientele and the unique characteristics the buildings themselves seem to have taken on over time. But the feelings one experiences while in this place cannot be limited to just the buildings or the people; you have to absorb everything to get a true sense of Xi’an. The vibrant colors of its lines and boldness of its shapes make Xi’an a visual spectacle unlike anywhere I have ever been before. This is why I set out to document the local spice that makes Xi’an so desirable and intriguing.
