Light. Something that there is very Little of today

If you haven't noticed, I like light. Light fascinates me in the way it expresses itself. I sometimes don't really know what I am going to get.

Take this photo for instance, its a light fixture in Roth Food Court. This shot was taken in the middle of day but it looks like it could've been taken in the dead of night on December 21/22.

The fixtures in that building amuse me. They are so retro, something you would totally see in a 70s movie set.

Anyways, its raining on my parade here at SBU so I'm going to Study.

The Cold Comes Clean

Freezing temperatures have arrived here at SBU. Even though the temperature really isn't the issue, the wind is the real problem. According to my computer it is 23 degrees Fahrenheit outside though I'm sure its colder due to the wind. It would nice if it didn't look so desolate and dead outside. Its miserable. Luckily I have many layers that I can just pile on my body without complaint so the cold doesn't really affect me.

The beginning of FLASHBACK! Fridays.

I figured its about time for another flashback.

I think I'm going to start a patter of posting flashbacks on fridays, since I have plenty of pictures from years before now.

Oh, and take a look at my writing.

Painted Lights on a Long Exposure

I love how this one looks like fresh oil paints.

Infinite Image

There you see it, Infinity exists towards the center of this picture considering everything is emanating from from almost one point.

Another long exposure, yes I know I'm obsessed. I think that this is quite possibly the coolest pictures I have ever taken.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Awww. Thanksgiving, the holiday of the gluttons. Such good food.

These are my surrogate family members. They fed me really well.

Guitar

My guitars

A large part of my life is music, if you didn't already know, but something a lot of people don't realize is how much I love playing guitar. These are three of the seven guitars that I own and cherish.

All Hallows Eve

So because I haven't posted anything so far this entire month I've decided to put together a compilation of my wild night in NYC for Halloween.

The night started with our first finding of Waldo. Yes this is Waldo in his girlish form but still, really well done.
Here we have Cori sitting at a table all by her lonesome wishing there was someone to comfort her and put a smile on her face and look beneath the porcelain doll exterior.
The dinosaur hugs the hippy sarong girl, I mean the
Best costume of the night? Quite possibly.
Best costumed kid, saw him and was like "PICTURE TIME." I also want to point out the random girl in the back noticing that I'm taking this picture and giving me the death glare.

I just like this shot for its composition and colors.

It started pouring half way through the night. WE GOT SOAKED to the bone. It was wonderful.

BEST HALLOWEEN EVER

SBU Red

Its interesting how many people on our campus do actually where red, considering I did not set up for these people in red to sit next to the red tree. Good juxtaposition right?

The Leaves are in Full Force Right Now

Boy do the colors look incredible. I feel like I can't do any of the colors justice without a bigger aperture, oh well. Pretty much all the trees on campus are turning. Its amazing how many different shades from pale yellow to deep dark reddish purple there are. It seems to be far more beautiful then last year.

Promotion

Come and see an Awesome Performance of Stony Brook's Titans in A Cappellooza.

Through The Scaffold Cover

Taken from the scaffolding of the hostel I stayed at in San Francisco.

Much fun.

I like this one, its very serene. This is a beach in NorCal just south of San Francisco about 20 minutes. I think the composition is really nice with all the footprints.

I captured a breaking wave.

The Big One

Roth Pond, home of many strange and marvelous creatures.

This fish in particular is probably about the size of my arm, eats stray cats and frightens most prospective students.

Metropolitan Transit

Welcome to the D.C. underground. A very good Transit system, I must say that I was rather impressed and it gave me a much better understanding of what actual mass transit should be like and not what BART is which is purely between cities and not inside one city like New York City's MTA.

I love long exposures from a stationary position facing towards some source of light. The way that street lamps turn into almost sparkles and the curve that are headlights. I took this along circle road just kind of toying with my camera.

I likes it. How about you?

They'll Fall, but but Now They're BEAUTIFUL

The colors of October. It is something I never had growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love the colors. I can't wait until all of the leaves are vibrant colors and amazingly shaded together.

Um...

Yes, this is a sign on campus.

Now I know why I'm not in the engineering building.

they're doing experiments

Damn I'm cool. Shop is soooo much fun.

This picture was made possible by Pan.

At Arby's?

So after we finished our epic journey to find an Arby's I noticed this sign in the parking lot and had to take a picture. A little ridiculous, right? I thought so.

So this does look random but it was for a class, an awesome class.

Photoshop kind of representing me.

More from Montreal.

Guess who!

Aww... look at that cute little kid!

Can you guess who it is?

Comment with your answers.

Street Musician

Saw this guy playing harmonica in old town Montreal. He reminded me of my Great-Grandfather who, my dad tells me, played an amazing blues harmonica. This guy was playing pretty awesomely.

BAM!!!

Infinity much? Yes, another long exposure! This one was at the first fire at camp this summer where we decided to enjoy long exposures and FIRE!!! An extremely good combo if you ask me... but who is really?

Its almost the weekend! Just a few hours away!

Jason Trimble: Tuba extraordinaire, general funny man, good with kids. likes long walks on the beach in the warm ca... wait what am I saying...

Okay, so it is true that he is extremely talented at the Tube and such. I just thought it was an awesome shot. Oh camp how I miss thee.

This is from my second day of travel across country right after leaving the Rocky Mountains. It was my first glimpse of the sun that morning. I continued on to Des Moines, Iowa that night which was somewhere around a thousand miles from my start location of Salt Lake City, Utah that morning.

Just got done with the first round of High C's auditions today. Good draw.

So I didn't actually eat here but I thought it was an awesome sign and is yet another taste of Montreal.

This was one of the most jovial people I have seen in a long time!

He looked genuinely ecstatic to be having his picture taken. It was in fabulous old town Montreal, Canada, somewhere I can't wait to visit again.

Now back at school. Start of the Third week and loving my classes!

This was taken my first day of driving across country from Idaho.
Its a long exposure I took when arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Awesome right?

I took this coming into San Francisco right as the plane was about to land.

Still waiting for the car but its ok... at least this didn't happen in the middle of nebraska

I like doing long exposures they are a lot of fun. This is more from camp.

Delay on the pictures of the car cause it needs a little work.

I HAVE A CAR!!!

pictures to come

I'M BACK!!!

Yes for those of you that did notice I left to a far away place called Cazadero. I've been there for about the last two months and that's why there have been entirely no pictures but I'm back and it's time for more pictures to be put out on a daily basis.

Yes, this is where I worked.

This was my tenth year at this camp and this was the best year EVER!

Though... for whatever reason I did not take as many pictures as I thought I would've.

Look at my handiwork! Aren't I awesome?

Well, in Idaho now awaiting word on cars and looking at them.

Thought I'd throw a flashback at you today.

This (from the right) me, My Mother, Beth and Kerry. This is us in Rome, Italy in front of the Coliseum quite a cold rainy day.

I'm off to camp on thursday. Super Excited. Posts will come intermittently.

I'm not sure what river this is but I really like this shot.

I am in California now and am loving it... little cold today.

Old Gold Bridge

Okay, so the bridge isn't actually gold but it was in an area where a lot of gold was mined back in the long ago.

Idaho iis full of interesting Signs

Yes he does.

Oh, Signs and their Hilarity

This is a damn along Route 21 between Boise and Idaho City.

I love how redundant this seems to be. Do people really go swimming and think it's safe?

The Wang(pronounced WONG... technically)

It's the middle of the night... I'm 20 years old in the library stressing about my Voice Juries... AND THIS IS WHAT I DECIDE TO DO WITH MY TIME....

I'm losing it... slowly
