Meet The Deliverer.
Wannabe superhero, real-life postal employee.

Actually, this is Kyle.  We went to film school together ages ago. 

This is the roof of my house, where I will no longer be living come Saturday. 

This is the day after a huge "last weekend at our giant party house" party. 

I really wanted to get someone dressed as a superhero, fingers crossed as attempting to fly for the first time.  As if he discovered he had accidentally eaten half of a butterfly & wonders if he might finally have the super powers of his dreams.

In reality, the roof is really scary, and Kyle had some legitimate fears as he hopped on one foot.

Photoshop: Selective colour adjustment layer to desaturate the orange-y houses, high pass filter on a layer at 40% for punch.  

Wishing I had shot it at night, with city lights in the background, but Kyle was only in for a few hours.

Hey blog friends. 

I just realized that the 2 year anniversary of my blog has come and gone.  I have not been very attentive.

I could list excuses - new job, apt hunt, now moving....  but I do miss blogging and want to find a better focus.   Let me know what you think is most exciting in the survey below,  because I'm quite curious :)

This is my good friend and fellow Mad Men fan katy. 

we had a great time drinking girlie martini's and trying to get the perfect egg crack & fall on this shot. at the end of the day though, we couldn't bring ourselves to open the can of spam that's back there. really didn't want to smell it. who would spend 5 bucks on that?! aside from our exception "for the art"

oh, and the cigarette is a plastic prop from a halloween store.  neither of us wanted to smell hideous smoke either.  (or to die a slow and painful death, you know)

52 weeks - week thirteen and fourteen.

week 13 - this is my classmate Caitlin.  So, the original idea for this in my head was awesome.  but executing it wasn't as easy as planned.  not the shooting of course, that was quite simple, but the photoshopping the pieces of about 30 different photos together, that was tricky to get it right.  

i'm still not entirely sure if i love it.  i like it... maybe it will grow on me.

week 14 - this is my friend kim.  

the plan, for last saturday, when it was pouring rain and supposed to stay miserable all day, was to have kim in a car, in the rain, looking out the window with that kind of melancholic look you would have when stuck in a car in the rain, looking at a cemetary, or your ex's house, or an ice cream cone that fell on the ground.  

however, the rain cleared up within 10 minutes of us starting the shoot, and the day turned warm and sunny.  awesome weather - not the intended shot.   so, we tossed on the sunglasses and made her look like she was being driven around in a limo.  voila.

I am happy to report that after a month of absolute madness and stress, steve and

 i have found a new apartment for may.  i honestly think apartment hunting was more stressful than job hunting.  glad that its over. 

and speaking of over, i just had my last class of the semester, which feels good too.

after packing and moving, i will have some free time!

really looking forward to decorating ;)
