Really curious and looking into this.  DIY E6

I am starting to get very frutrated with the gum printing process!!!  It just isn't doing what i want and even though i preshrink my paper it is still shrinking after my first exposure and my neg won't register exactly right....some images this adds a nice effect...others it looks horrible!  I want to be able to control it!!!

I am super excited to get to run in the Bay 2 Breakers 12K this year!! Some friends and i are considering dressing up in costumes for the run!! I thought the history of Bay 2 Breakers was kind of interesting. There are even people who run the race backwards...like Salmon!

Here is a photo my friend Francesca took of me.

Oh and for anyone who reads this....which i think at this point is no one but Chesca...haha Jeff's Polaroid show is tonight at 8pm.

So I was checking out my friend Jeff's friend Alison's Blog....wow...that was difficult to say.....and i saw an image of her receiving a box in the mail....when she opened it the box had a balloon in it....and then she popped it.....I was confused......and then there was a link that lead to beingeverywhere. A project that is being done by artist Stefan Riebel. I think it is very interesting and worth looking at....and even participating in....i think i am going to....Just a thought!

I went on a little photo excursion with Mindo yesterday and had a lot of fun! We shot up some pinhole 4x5, polaroid's with the hasselblad, and some slide film....even stayed late at the Sutro and shot some long exposure night shots....I am hoping to get some of that up once i get it developed/scaned!

Some portraits from class

Here are a few photos that i have taken during my portraiture class at the Academy of Art University. I am really enjoying learning the lighting but i am definitely out of my comfort zone by photographing people. But, i am learning a great deal.
