im not feeling too creative on the titling lately. oh well.

i finally finished posting my thirty-ish photos from my day at a garden on the mississippi. it took me days just to wade through the 322 photos, and it was even harder to pick out the best of them~ there were just too many good ones. with that, im pleased to conclude that im getting better at this whole photography thing. which is funny and sad, since im just now figuring my way through it and relying less and less on photoshop, but i already have my bachelors degree in art photography, haha. good thing i spent $17k just to finish school and THEN start learning my trade.

thats alright though, im happy with my progression. not only with my smaller, single piece photos, but also with my panoramas. i see i still havent posted my vertical panorama, i need to go find the file and do that. my last horizontal pan was 159 inches long. i personally am only 65 inches long. pretty intimidating. its currently hanging in a gallery in central minnesota.

speaking of that, my fifth showing of my work this year was an Art War, where my work and wit was pitted against my fathers. it was decided to be a truce, since the visitors didnt want to hurt anyones feelings. only a small handful of people had the spine to pick a side, haha. it was a good debate though, and hopefully sometime soon ill have a copy of the video taken of the whole thing. i should post some photos of it in my scraps here. i also have some photos of me from a talk i gave at a show memorial day 2007, i should make a place for those as well.

i think i would like to start working more with portraits. if i can work with people like i can with flowers and landscapes, i think ill be pretty much rounded out. i should go back and try to work on more book photos, too. maybe i need to take my cam into a library...

and i found out a few days ago that im no good at photography when im drunk. its a good thing to know, i think!
