I AM ALIVE.....

okay, i know it seems like i fell off the face of the world but i am still here. this is whats happening with me.

i finished winter semester. the snow is still coming down in April but i am still loving it. i dont think anyhting but the heat can defeat my happiness. but i will be able to survive. i passed the semester with a 3.361. i am very happy about it. my hardest class was Drawing 1. it is alot harder than it sounds. but i passed(barely)

this semester i am back to taking 12 credits. YAY!!!! probably will never take 18 credits again. my schedule is as follows

So... Genesis is a Student ran company that puts you in real world situations with costumers. it is for communications but i am auditing it for Photography, and having real life experiences.

I am going to be starting an internship soon with the Chamber of Commerce here in Rexburg, Idaho. I will be doing Photography and working next to a Graphic Designer whos company does NIKE. ooooo la la

well, Thats all. if you have any questions or want to know more, please comment. 

this week i am going to do a photo shoot on "easy art project" dont know what that mean, must contact the reporter and also on the important people in our community.

i will fill you in on what else happens and hope to have some pictures.

My life so far in a nut shell

to begin here or begin there... that is the question. :) well i am still at BYU-I and doing great. my college angle has changed a little with majors and minors than what it was before. i am still majoring in Photography through the BFA program here. i am not technically in the program yet but as soon as i get my portfolio together i will apply. the thing that as changed is that i am no longer a Dance Minor. with the BFA program your emphasis(Photo) is your minor.

other things is that i am now a Tutor. i don't tutor students regularly but i tutor new student on a computer system called Kurzweil. This is a reading comprehension program along with speed reading helper and helps with organization. jeez where was this on high school.lol.

lets see. my classes are as follow:
Mon, Wed. Middle East Studies, Ballroom Tech 1, Dance Teaching Tech 1 and Clogging and . Missionary Book of Mormon.
Tur, Thurs Drawing 1 in the morning and Photo 1 at night. (long day)

Fri. Teach Tech 1 and Dance Teaching Tech

sat= DATES (HELLO LADIES :) )

i will be scanning my photo negatives onto the computer soon and will post them. i dont have any digital ones cause i let my roommate borrow my camera and he dropped it :( but it is now fixed :).

so i am going to be attending school up here in idaho year round. that means i probebly wont be home again until xmas :( thats a long time.

well i will write soon, hopefully but my art class is currently kicking me in the behind.

take care

Happy late halloween

so i apologize that it has been so long since i posted a new post. i have been very busy but i am now able to sit down and take a breather.

so for halloween in my art class we had a party and i thought i would make something home made, so i went on to my favorite website ever. www.allrecipes.com

so i decided to make fried apple pies. they are little individual ones and fried. i started off spending 1 hour peeling apples





then friends showed up and we got th party started. my friend Autumn helped to slice the apples.


and then we got to cook u the apple with cinnamon and sugar. it was deliciouse.




the finished product of the apples sauce, it was deliciouse


and now the dough. it wasn't to bad on it own. mmm yummy salt. lol


nice little circles for the individual apple pies.


while we are cooking my roommates decide to explore the roof.



but meanwhile we fry away. it was a lot of work but a lot of fun.


Step one, load the dough circles with homemade apple sauce. step two, fold over the dough and seal them up. step three, fry them up. the bubbling oil hurt but it smelt great and tasted great as well.














they were a large success. i am now going to start hiring out my cooking services. so if anyone is looking for a good meal. let me know. but a catch is you need to be where i am lol. well i will update in the next couple days about my trip to Las Vegas and my campaign work for McCain and Palin.

Art Grade

So just to quickly give an update i got 100% on both art pojects that are described in the post: "Art Yikes" yay. i will pt in a better update when i get more time but i am heading to denver this weekend so we shall see.

ART Yikes

So if anyone knows my art. they know that i am not that skilled. Dancing and photography are my true passions but i am trying to learn to draw. so these are my first two projects that i have turned in. the first one was about principles. here is the full lay out of my project.

and here are close ups on each square and i will go into detail at the bottom of each one. so here we go. dont laugh to hard at my poor art.

this one is dominance and subordination. (the names for each one are on top of the drawings)

i drew the ballons to show the dominance by making others out in the distance.

this is repetition and variation. i drew this free hand. i am pretty proud of this one out of all of them. the I-pod nano designs were chosen by a friend of mine.

this is balance symetrical, meaning it had to be even and identical on each side. I saw this picture on line and new it would be simple to draw.

this is movement. it boes from the bottom to the top. can anyone guess what this scene is from. leave me a comment with your guess.

this is rythm. you can read it as you go across the picture or somthing like that. i am not to sure.

now here is balance asymetrical. it doesnt look right but it was a las minuet thing and my least favorite out of all of them.

now for my second project i had to redo this picture by picasso up side down and double the size.

obviously the one on the right is the original and was on a basic sheet of paper like for a printer. the one on the left was my copy of it. i just saw some mistakes so now i am sad. but i learned a lot about proportions.


and to make me happy, i am going to end this with a photo i took. enjoy and have great day.
