A friend of mine was getting rid of this little beauty before she moved to a new apartment, and I offered to give it a new home. I am currently packing up my car to drive out to Cape Cod tomorrow morning to spend the Fourth of July with … Read More →

Playing with CS3
After this image whetted my curiosity, I had to try out this photomerge thing for myself. I happened to have a set of photos I took of Roger Williams Memorial Park for research during one of my studio projects, and so I plugged them in to see what came out. … Read More →
Seedlings!
Despite being completely mired in schoolwork this past semester, I somehow managed to start two small flats of seeds and keep them alive until they turned into cute little herbs! I think it had something to do with running to Home Depot every two days for supplies … Read More →
Functioning Camera = Blog Posts!
The title of this blog post comes from a recent conversation with my mom, where I was talking about my blogging prospects now that my lovely, trusty old camera has lost the will to focus properly. In response, the mailman delivered a tiny package wrapped in brown paper, … Read More →

Welcome to the Conversation.
Last night I went to the opening of the 2008 MFA Thesis Exhibition, and it was completely overwhelming. I am going to have to go back two or three other times when there aren’t so many people around, because I want to sit (or stand) and really absorb … Read More →
