tearsa=lacks vision

in my b&w film photography class we've recently been given a lot of assignments that are weird and require pre-thought. for example, using the whole roll of film to make a picture, double exposure, etc. 

my ability to pre-visualize anything is about zero. plus i can't come up with great concept ideas. mostly, i just shoot and hope it turns out. maybe this is why i have problems.

example--what is this?:

also, i just spilled nail polish on my esc button. crap.

.

i drove home yesterday. why? because i can.

and it only takes 4 hours.

my ward went to the draper temple open house this morning. i was a little disappointed to be missing the trip, but i did go two weeks ago, so i decided it was ok to go home instead. 

drey and taft and dad went to the temple this morning with their ward. i went with them. it was the first time i'd done baptisms in the twin falls temple. 

so....i did end up going to the temple. just not the one i had been planning on going to.

personally, i like the way things turned out.

tavin

so i felt like posting this series of pictures, but i have nothing to say about them, other than tavin likes to put on a show a strange faces:

...

that last post was awfully cynical. i apologize. 

i really don't have a big problem with family portraits. in fact, i think pictures of your family are some of the most important pictures that can be taken.

also, it's cute when everyone is matching.

on another note, i signed up for housing for next fall. cassie, ariel, alexis, hannah, and i are going to be living in the riviera. (now would be a really bad time to leave a comment saying how awful the riviera is...) 

families

i like families, but i despise family portraits. to me, it just seems like a big contest to see how many people can possible be shoved into a photo. which scares me greatly. even if there are just say...four people, it's still scary. but this time, it's their matching white shirts and jeans that scare me.

people

so it just occurred to me that there may be some people who are reading this who have a website but it isn't on my sidebar. if you're not on my sidebar, it's not because i hate you. it's just because at some point in time i lost your address or you never post anything so i stopped looking at your blog or something like that. i don't hate you, trust me. so if you want me to put you on my sidebar, just leave a comment with your address. that's all.

drey

my super great brother drey has started his own flickr site: clickonme.

he doesn't have very much on it, but i'm sure he'll keep adding more.

i really wanted to add this picture too. i think it's funny because it looks like he has a hat of leaves....

ariel

my lovely roommate ariel needed a picture of herself, 

so she asked me to take it. :)
