Sunflowers in the Times Before the Hiltons

Before I came to school, my mother took me to a field of sunflowers. Her friends wants me to paint a few of them in her garage and so I was collecting reference photographs. Some of them were huge!!! There was one that was over fifteen feet tall. It was nuts. What I liked about this place was that it was run by an older woman that had been living on the property for some time. There were old farm buildings and equipment. This tractor had become overgrown it has been there so long. These kinds of places warm my heart, letting my know the world isn't completely lost to the world of materialism.

Burning the Books and the Sky Afire

Here are some more photographs of the evening I spent with two of my friends along the beach.


This one I took because I thought it showed how 'respectful' people are of the information captured in books, and how important that information. It reminds me of Farenheit 451 and all the destruction that novel captured. I fear those days will come true. I really hope it doesn't.

Creating Something From Not So Much

Last Night, Zach and I stopped by his friend's house to deal with Chain Mail stuff. Kurt is going to be selling Zach's jewelry to people that go to the club Kurt works at. Here are some pictures of the weaves, the jewelry itself, the tools and the hands that make it. Also, there is Curt's braid in there somewhere and another necklace is trying to figure out what to do with. f you look closely, you can see some jewelry that Zach has made for Kurt on him. It was really cool, hanging out and swaping stories with a guy that hadn't had enough sleep.








A New Home

One night about two weeks ago, as I was walking along the water, I ran into a couple of friend of mine and they let me take pictures of them. They have been friends for so long, and I think they're great. I will be posting more photographs later on.
