this summer so far has actually been really good. it had it's ups and downs. a lot of emotional shit going on, and just a lot of adventures i suppose. i'm seriously stoked for the rest of my summer. it's going to be fantastic. don't get me wrong, my summer hasn't been all "woo, yay, summer time!" i've done things i've regretted. i've done really stupid stuff. you know when you're caught in a situation, try to get out, and get yourself lodge in deeper?
those circumstances where you just can't let go? yeah, i tend to do that a lot. -sigh- it definitely added a lot to my summer. besides that, i found new friends, close friends, and God. i just hope i can keep up with myself sometimes.
summer's not even half way done!

still we breathe with broken lungs,
and live with broken hearts,
yet we surpass these flaws.
and decide we're
okay.
until all our broken body part fail,
then we die.
lend me strong legs.
it's so damn hard to stand up again.

selfportraiture.
i want to fall over dead asleep. i'm yawning so much, that i feel unconscious. maybe not that much, but you get my drift.
GOOD MORNING!
i did multiple self portraits for class. the assignment was to utilize the light to create certain moods. i think i hit it right on. i love the way the light hits at a 60˚ angle. the shadows impacted the pictures with a punch. -BAM-
i hate it when you get stuck on those writer's blocks. i just can't find what to say. how do you even beat a writer's block? by writing about it, duh. as you can see that is what i'm doing right now. i think these are one of my favorite pictures i took for
this class so far. they're just so powerful, and i think it sums up my auto-photo-biography...? is there even such a thing? when people die, we should have a memorabilia to let us know that we existed. all of us. just because your lips spoke words, your feet made footprints, doesn't mean you existed in this world of deceit and lies. the question is now, how do i, we, stain this world with what we did? good, or bad?
i'm rambling now. because i hit my writer's block.
found a thought provoking topic, and i went with it. too bad i'm too tired, and can't be bothered.
do what you gotta do.

lighting session
wake up sleepyhead and finish blogging! it's not like you're paying attention in class anyways!
i can't imagine how broadway stars and models have working eyes. seriously, these lights we were using for the photoshoot were absolutely blinding. it's ridiculous, but my pictures turned out nice. anyways, every time i went to change the lighting position, i would catch a glimpse of the bright light, which resulted in a moment of seeing stars and rapid eye blinking. you know how it is. the bright light in your face. like at the dentist. accompanied caused by the faster heartbeat by anticipation.
maybe that was an exaggeration, but, then again, not really. i suppose, i could've just decided not to look in the direction, but human are like fish. stupid. i swear it was on accident. feh! it doesn't matter, i can still see. we tried out a lot of different lighting positions to create different moods. and stuff. our models were wonderful dancers from a peer's dance class he was teaching. and it really gets you wondering how the body is capable of moving in such beautiful ways that look
inhuman. i love examining the anatomy of bodies. especially when they look f*cking weird. i think it's so captivating and surreal. the human body is not only gross, but amazing. there are so many details and mysteries of it. perhaps that is my motive for becoming a doctor. or something in medicine. fascinating.
keep dreaming. you just might get there.

continuation.
and now, i continue with tired eyes, and a determined mind.
my digital photography class has been really productive. although sometimes we have super boring lectures, our assignments stimulates my creativity and practically forces me to take all of these pictures. i mean, i HAVE to do it for a grade. it's a good excuse not to be lazy. plus, my teacher is a funny little asian man. he's adorable.
this assignment wasn't really specific. it was "point of view/perspective" but most people just took random pictures, as i did. i'm really happy how most of my pictures turned out. i honestly wish this class was longer.
i'm probably going to take the second level of digital photography class in the fall semster. or, well, i'm hoping. it's expensive! [granted not as expensive as a class at university, but still! i have no money!] i definitely plan to build up my portfolio though. photography is becoming my life.
i don't know whether i should be worried or excited. i'm still debating what i want to do with my life. and that is no fun subject matter to decide. oh, the pressure on the newer generation. eh, i will live!
breathe, breathe, breathe.

silk and sandpaper.
and there on, i continue!
i went to kayla's house. it's so big and wonderful. once you step in, there's a huge mirror that covers the entire wall in front of you.
i was greeted by this little fur ball. his name is buddy, and he is by far one of the cutest little pomeranians in the world. despite the fact that we had to clean his poo. gross. unfortunately, he's not my friend's kayla's. she was just dog-sitting it.
i attempted to take pictures in her dim-lit, but it was near impossible without the flash to get a clear picture without a tripod or high ISO. [i hate setting it to super high ISO's] luckily, this one came out pretty nice, but with flash. i think it definitely creates a certain mood though.
now this is one i took without flash. it turned out fairly nice. it's not exactly blurry, but there was a quite a bit amount of noise, probably due to the high ISO, but it's whatever! kayla is beautiful nonetheless.
i watched new moon that day. [oh lawd, save my soul.] it was absolutely hilarious. i worry about the acting in future movies, but it was entertaining for sure. edward's face looks funnny. so does jacob's. but at least taylor laughtner has nice abs to make up for it.
PEACE!
