It's cold outside

Well, they are calling for freezing rain, snow, ice, and all that wonderful stuff that is abnormal for Tulsa, Oklahoma this Thursday. Preceding this, it has gotten cold again. As a way to forget about the cold, I bring you this image of azaleas in the spring. Doesn't it look nice there?

Not much of a story behind this one other than me pacing back and forth while waiting for some high schoolers (thereabouts in age) to go away so I could get a photo without them in it.

Well I am already pretending I am in this picture where it is nice, sunny, and warm.

Oh, and I have just been informed by my roommate that the Tulsa people are all mobbing the stores in case the world comes to an end.

Kelsey, the Hammer Thrower

Well here is a bonus update outside of the one I will post tomorrow. This is an example of my work that I am doing for my art project.

Well, the whole point of my pictures in this project is that they need no explanation, so, see you tomorrow.

The smiling dog

Well I think a big ol' smiling dog is a good way to start the day, don't you?

My project that I mentioned in the previous post is under way, slow start though but I do have one person who I have shot and two others who have agreed to help me out. I would like to shoot 13 people by February 2nd, but honestly not sure if I will pull it off.

My project is taking pictures of people in a way that represents them. I have to be artistic and all that of course, but you get the gist of it. As far as my thoughts on the project go, I do not think I will stick with photographing people. People shots are still my favorite to view, but they are far too much trouble to do and so many people do not like being photographed. Oh well, live and learn.

Here is our smiling dog, Bandit to distract you from my moaning and groaning

Tick Tock

Well, I did not think I would ever post this picture because of the blown out bottom left corner, but I feel that the symbolism fits for today.

First, a big announcement, starting after today, I will post a new, finished photograph ever Tuesday, usually late afternoon to early evening so there will always be a new post waiting for my loyal readers on Wednesdays, or Tuesday evenings.

That aside, today has been a crazy day, and it is only the second day of the semester. The theme of the day is "What have I gotten myself into" with this schedule. Four accounting classes is probably too much, oh well, I like a challenge. If life was a game, I chose the hardest difficulty, but doesn't that mean the rewards are higher?

As some of you may know, my fifth class is called "Student Guided Project[s]" which is through the Art School here at TU. I am doing a project with photography for this class. This class is a senior level class that apparently graduate students take and I skipped all the prerequisites fo Here are the requirements:

Do what you want.

There are four projects, the first three is whatever you want at all.

I have a couple ideas of what to do, but I am interested in if any of you guy's have some ideas that I like.....?

The end of the season (Plus one day)

I feel that I should have had this post yesterday, January 1st, but I got home pretty late and so did not feel like editing photos.

Not much to say on this one other than I took it on New Year's Eve in Tulsa while killing time 'till midnight somewhere. Over Christmas, so one week earlier, Tulsa got a lot of snow especially for the area, and, as you can see a lot of it is still on the ground. As I am sure you know, cold air accompanies snow, which is what made taking this picture so much trouble, but I think it is worth it.

Enough chitchat though, I have nothing to say other than it was cold when I took this picture and it basically marks the end of the Holiday season.

Oh yeah! This picture was taken with my brand new 6-point star filter that my uncle and his family got for me for christmas. It turns ever point of light into a six point start to make a pretty cool effect. I can't wait for it to snow so I can take a picture in some beam of light which my father has told me turns every snowflake into a star.
