  • Portraits and Walls

    Today in my New Media class we worked with dSLRs. I now know the locations of the menu button, the mysterious Q button and what the red dot means. (Actually there are a few, but one on the lense is for lining up the lense to better insert and eject said lense.) This is my…

  • Strengo

    I made this based off of my first assignment. I didn’t know what to name it. I thought of a the weirdest name I could think of. Apparently it’s Victor Strengo.

  • Picture Plane

    The picture plane is the surface in space where your picture is waiting for your wits to grow sharper. Today, I sketched this in drawing class. It’s Queen Anne. The neighborhood has always let my eyes rest on it. It is truly cute and cozy-looking they way they are all nestled onto that hill. In…

  • Charlemagne

    Today, I learned about movable type. It was super special because of the metal alloy that didn’t distort under pressure.

  • New Media

    Photo of Charan My first assignment in New Media class: introducing this guy using a mac and facebook. It was difficult. Couldn’t’ find wordcount on openoffice, couldn’t find the group on facebook I needed to post to; I felt like I was back in the fifth grade being introduced to the “file” tab. Here’s the…

  • The “B” is for Black.

    Self-portrait on the veranda. The sunniest day of this quarter, I imagine. I got my coffee from Peet’s down the street. Starting off the day with… apparently some composer named Mantz. It sounded more like Vivadi to me, but hey, there was 200 years worth of decent classical, it’s hard to keep all the files…
