Santa Fe, NM- March 2010

Photos from my Santa Fe, New Mexico trip! 

spring cleaning

Spring's almost (or is) here! Just thought it'd be nice to do some spring cleaning on my laptop, especially since I just had to get a whole new hard drive on here. Couldn't even back it up, so I lost quite a bit of stuff, but thankfully none of my important photos and stuff! I lost my beloved Bridge/Photoshop/Adobe files, but I still have MS Word luckily! :) Had to reinstall Lightroom (LR), but some of my fall quarter photos on there still exist (even though some of the data's missing or unavailable). I have to go figure out how to re-create a better workflow on LR as I'll be using that for awhile now as I miss my beloved Photoshop (PS) /Bridge -Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).

Here's a old photo that I found from last fall and re-edited just now knowing that my editing skills for photographs are somewhat better these days.

Taken in downtown Rochester last fall probably mid September 2009. -Linds

Crunch Time!

As all RITers know it, it's crunch time- meaning it's 9th week. One more week to go before the end of winter classes and exams. I'm hoping not to have any exams but who knows? Anyways, I was out last night shooting ideas for my metaphor project, and came up with this. Tweaked it a little bit in photoshop, but I like it. Feedback appreciated. Thanks.

Fake TIME Magazine Cover

At the crack of dawn TODAY.. I had a project due and it was the magazine cover. I really like this creation of mine. The layout's pretty simple but I just really love the picture of my friend Bobby. I'm sure he'd like it too if he saw it! Hope y'all liked it during class. I'm sure I'll do another magazine cover sometime just for fun :) 


Peace. 

2nd Quarter at RIT is almost over!!

Hey everyone,


I've been pretty busy these past couple of weeks with school. I can't believe 8th week has flown by and before I know it, we'll be onto the 9th week of this winter quarter! I still can't believe that I've been at RIT now for two quarters. Feels like yesterday when I moved into RIT housing back in August 2009. Time flies when you don't blink your eyes and then you are like whoa..


Soo... my classes have been keeping me busy. H&A's the usual, Photo Arts 2 has been quite interesting the past week or so. Gave in my magazine cover today. Will show the image next blog. Next up is to work on my Metaphor project.. which is supposedly due next Thursday. Let's see if I can come up with ideas on that one! 


Toodles.

thoughts influenced by the triptych.

After going to that "open house" tonight from 4-5 (class time) where all of us Photo Arts 2 Students displayed our work.. I've come to the conclusion that it was not what I expected it to be. I noticed that my PA2 section's pictures were quite modest compared to all the other sections. Those sections' photos displayed photos that had numerous amounts of nudity, and otherwise showed images that should be flagged. Quite a few brought up suicidal tendencies or just fit under the category of being "emo". Anyone else agree with me on that? Just my opinion on this matter.

On the other hand, it's time to start working on that magazine cover project as well as the metaphor project. I can't believe we're only mere weeks away from finishing up the quarter. It's week 7 already! It will have been my second quarter here at RIT and onto the third!

Damn, time flies..

The TRIPTYCH

There's a project that I just recently completed this morning, and I'd like to share it with you all. It's a triptych-photograph- one of the numerous assignments I have had for my Photo Arts 2 class this past winter quarter. Shooting this assignment was quite fun to do. 

Here's the triptych that I gave in for my deadline today. Thanks to Joel Campos for being my model! =)

Anyways, I can't wait until 4pm so I can see the result of what other's triptychs look like! We are going to have a showing among the 4 Photo Arts 2 classes being taught this quarter and get to see others creations. It should be fun!

Peace out,

Linds.
