Cardinal Family

Recently a family of cardinals moved into the tree outside my place. I was taking pictures of the male sitting in a tree chirping to his lady, when I looked and saw that there was a baby bird in the tree right next to me. The male and female cardinal were giving the baby flying lessons. It was really cute watching them fly with the lil one and staying close when he couldn't make it as far as they could.

Graduation and the Air Show

Graduation was Thursday. I didn't know what the ceremony was going to be like at Queens College and was nicely surprised with how quick it went (as I was roasting in my oven bag cap and gown). After the main ceremony each major broke off into individual ceremonies where awards were given out (I received Honors in Art). Then it was off to Olive Garden with my family.

Friday I spent cleaning out the studio. I'm going to miss having that art space.

And today I caught the tail end of the "Bethpage Federal Credit Union 2010 Air Show" at Jones beach. It was insane. I had never seen an air show live in person so I took a TON of pictures.

I posted a bunch to my Flickr

Raging Pineapple - The Comic

Hung in the student gallery.


Shot with my Yashica-C TLR and Nikon D-60 printed digitally and mounted on museum board. The side prints in the top photo are printed on fiber and I hand colored a few.

The Tattooed Tortoise - 3 of 3

Senior Project review is tomorrow and a Art History final Friday then I'm done. T.T I'm gonna miss school.

Three of Three - WIP and Camera Woes

Still gotta add the tattoos and do the final touch ups.
As for my camera woes >_< my wonderfully awesome Yashica-C TLR isn't so wonderfully awesome. The film advance has been wonky and I am only getting 7 shots tops on a 12 frame roll. I'm not sure if it's worth it to get it fixed (since I paid so little for it) or if I should just get another camera. I have been eyeing a few Mamiya and Fuji medium format cameras. I've been wanting something more hand held but still medium format.

And finally, my Senior Project is pretty much done. I'm not posting pictures up till after the review committee goes over it on tuesday. But here's a shot just after being mounted.

They are dry mounted to museum board.
