new eyes

My new camera finally arrived! It’s a Canon EOS Digital Rebel: kinda outdated, I think it came out in like 2004 or something, but it does the job well. I got around to snapping a few pictures with the new device, and I think they turned out pretty nifty. I tend to take really dark pictures, though – I just like shadows…But then everything looks a little gray — any suggestions for a better shot?

Here are some photos made in the past few weeks of warming up and moving back home. I just ordered a used dlsr so these might be the last unedited phone photos you see for a while!

Last weekend started on Thursday for me.

"redefining art"

“redefining art”

I put some photos in an art show called MESH at Temple, which sought to redefine art as coming from any source where work is put into – papers, engineering drafts, etc. as well as traditional art forms, no matter what major the artist is studying. While wandering through the cozy, one-room show, I got a text from a friend in the music school saying there was swing dancing happening elsewhere on campus. I kinda ditched the art show…

Friday I didn’t go to any of my classes because I had the house to myself this weekend while my parents went to the beach. My only responsibility was to take care of our pets and soak up as much new spring sun as possible. Here are a few snapshots of the excellent weekend.

the weekend started off rainy and gross, but it turned itself around just for me…probably
