hello winter....

day before thanksgiving, a good 5-7 inches.

goodbye fall...

forgot...

oops. i was so busy with getting thesis out of the way while i was in school, i forgot to post photos from the event i volunteered for!!


there's one of my photographs, on the right side of Vicki's bio :]

and, oh look! there's me talking to the president of MECA at the time, about my photos :]

and here's a link with a press-release about one of the stops of the traveling show, and this one includes another one of photos i took.

*yay* for being recognized in the community! :]

welcome to "the new world"

so, life after college is nice.
except for the whole loan repayment part. guh.

i'm thankful for my second job at the picture people, that has been helping me out sooooo much. financially and professionally. over-time during the holidays is CRAZY. soooo many people come in to get photos done before christmas.....wow. but! now that the holidays are over, yikes...i'm running a little short on loan payment money :/ great.

i'm trying to keep myself occupied and busy, but there's not much to do in this economy and this time of the year....

there's NO WAY i'm getting a third job. no way. two is hard enough to keep straight. i'll just have to start selling my old books from school online or something...and hope that will help some.

i got a new camera for christmas! which i bought with money that i got from selling my old one! yay! upgrade! :D here's some photos from my new camera.

let's fall into fall! :)

so.

haven't been that good at updating this over the summer. been bored out of my mind for most of it, and struggling to find a new part-time job.

well...that's all over now.

got hired at the Picture People in the mall...yay! that's definitely been keeping me busy. especially when it's combined with my other job at hannaford. :)

been working on taking some senior pictures as well. already done 2 girls, friends of my sister. and just finished photographing my sister, she just needs to choose ones she likes out of the pile i took :)

here's my favorites. :D

rain rain go away.

stuck on the inside, looking at the rain falling for the past 3 days....i'm starting to loose it a little. work hasn't been giving me very many hours, so i'm trying to look online for something else. that's not going too well.

so, to relieve my boredom a little bit, i'll post some pictures i've taken since i graduated :)


walked the breakwater lighthouse in rockland, maine


went to my friend's wedding, in waldoboro, maine


took pictures of my sister and her friends before their junior prom. she's in the blue.

thesis show

so, it's the END of the semester...*YES*. and that means my thesis work is hanging on a wall in a hallway at maine college of art. go see it, it looks great :D

thesis paper is printed, signed, and passed in. YAY. no need for a 3rd draft, that means i did a great job :) i hope.

final crit has happened, and went VERY WELL. as did my review :D *yay* i have burst out of my shell of struggling through senior year as a photo major, and have come out with a great body of work that can be identified by others outside of my majors group. i have sucessfully succeeded in creating a body of work that can be enjoyed for the look and the content. WHOOOOO! hahaha.

donated a print to a friend who let me inside one of the buildings i photographed, and it is now hanging in my hometown's little "museum", the taylor house, which makes me SUPER EXCITED!!!!

here's what my spot in the school's thesis show looks like, with all of my work :)
(and yes, i have a corner and a doorway in my spot, which i am happy for, due to my work's size. it helped with the organizing problems i was worried about concerning a long area of wall space.)
