Getting There

Today I crossed off some major things on my 'to do' list (turn in NY project and buy a parking pass for UVU), finally!

That may seem like a small feat, but I swear, everything in the universe worked against me and I'm sure my perfect

procrastination sure didn't help either. Oh, and I hit page 100 in my sketchbook today; many things have happened

since May 31, 2010 - as you can tell. I can't wait until sketchbook number four is out so that I can start number five.

First Assignment

'First assignment' of the semester is brought to you by my Digital Photography II class. We had to replicate one of the

masters. So I woke up too early for my own good and began my quest to dominate 'first assignment'. I decided to

replicate Edward Steichen's 'Avacados'. After a smidgen of clone stamping, a tintsy bit of dodging, burning and a

small crop later I came up with 'first assignment'. And if I do say so myself… I conquered 'first assignment'. Oh yeah!

It Fits!

After three hours of church that heavenly started at 1PM (oh yeah!) and one delicious nectarine chicken dinner later,

Nikki and I went to go and pick up her dear bird, Harvey. He fits so snuggly between our hall closet and our kitchen.

Now our apartment feels even more homey with a bird's song in the air. Welcome back buddy, we've missed you so.

Bunkmate…

…do you love me? (most hilarious video ever). So today was the day… we got furniture. I helped my dad this

morning pack up the trailer and we unloaded that stuff like nobody's business down in Provo. Then, later in the day,

Nikki's family brought on the bunk beds. It feels just like childhood now, sleepovers on bunk beds with Nikki…

Classic. Our house is starting to look like a house, rather than super creepy basement apartment with no electricity.

Erin + Barrow

My good friend Brian Barrow tied the knot last Saturday to his smashing bride, Erin. Tonight was their open house up

in Salt Lake. I was asked to take the candid photos; what an honor. Brian looked just grand in his tux and Erin was

absolutely striking in her gown (not to mention how awesome her hair looked). They're off to Idaho tomorrow to live

and attend BYU-I. They're such goof balls. Guy on the left: Ryan, former roommate to Barrow. Sorry Ryan, Erin won.

New York Flashback

Remember that New York project I had to do? Oh, well, yeah, I just finished it tonight. I'm awful; the summer just ran

away from me. I'm actually quite pleased with the way it turned out. With a slight hint of regret that I didn't do it a way

that I just thought of after I finished it. Oh well, I'm not going back now: it's already two days late. Pictured is this day.

Stumbling

Oh, first day of school. It was definitely a bit of a rocky one, but I got it all figured out. I'm actually quite excited, even

though I've only had one class and it's not even for my major. I came across my record collection today while moving

around my small portion of things from the move. The 'Men At Work' one was my very first one that I bought last

year. The other four I bout this year on my trip to Seattle, from various place. There's a pretty sweet story to go along

with my 'Mother Lode' record. I'm excited to listen to them someday. I don't own a turntable, definitely poses a problem.
