Back In Black!!!

Yo kiddies! I'm back from my blog hiatus and better than ever! I've been not only busy with settling in and trying to make friends and being depressed and doing schoolwork and all that fun stuff but I've also had my internet connection raped by my other roommates preventing me from blogging so here we go! I have some sweet ass pictures finally since this IS a photo blog. (worth a thousand words) Being in film school I'm starting to have to carry my camera everywhere and that is beginning to result in some sweet ass photos! (That and I finally was forced to read my camera manual to figure out how to do my assignments haha)

So!! Firstly I've met about 4 really cool people that I actually would want to be good friends with and they are...

Zack and Andreas (Drea or Dr.Drea for short) who can be seen here (Zack is the native guy on the left and Andreas is the Swiss guy in the back right with his big smile =D)

Both really cool, Andreas is Swiss so he speaks Switzerdeutsch as well as German, he's 26 and straight despite his snappy dressing *wink* We get along swimmingly =D

This is Amanda! She's pretty sweet and I might move in with her come the end of November when her roommate moves back to Thailand... she's one of those sweet girls who you just know is itching to burst out of her shell and she does... she has a wild side ;) A bunch of us are going clubbing @ this club "celebrities" this Saturday (which is apparently the good day to go) It's on Davie and apparently there's *gasp* real live gay people there!!! (OMG GAY GUYS IN VANCOUVER!?!? NO WAY!!) Seriously they killed all their fags or something. It's sad really ;)

(As a side note... notice my ears.. they're stretched to a 4!!!)

My other good friend is Mariajose (MJ for short) a coolio funtastic Mexican raver who doesn't appear in these photos cuz she's not legal (19 here) until Nov 17 when we are getting piss ass drunk @ some bar to celebrate. She drinks with us anyway but the bar we went to is IDcore...

Drunk ass!!!













So that was Friday... the first Friday that didn't end in depression (Hooray for me! Boo for American Assholes!!) Tonight I was out taking fire spinning photos for my assignment due Tuesday when it began a torrential downpour!!! SHIT SON does it rain here! It's great (for now anyway) cuz I love the rain! It makes me smile! =D It's still plus 11 outside and it's midnight!! Hooray Vancouver weather!

Let me show you what I've been learning (well a very small portion mind you I hope to post some of my cooler assignments... I made this chair and bed in a style ala "The Matrix" in 2D design class, they are drawn in 1 and 2 point perspective and they turned out great!!)

This is how I would have taken a picture before learning about photography.










And this is after. Notice how I corrected the exposure and white balance *wink* A car even went by leaving a coolio streak on the left. Anyway this is me standing outside my house in the torrential rain about 15 minutes ago... the camera was inside the doorway which opens right up to the street. I can hear loud traffic all night (ugh.)

So here's part of my assignment, we're playing with shutter speeds, white balance and exposure compensation basically getting familiar with Lens Based Media (as the course is called) and during a short lol in the rain I managed to get these pictures of me fire spinning on the beach (Yes, we have beaches!! Crazy!)




Another fire photograph... look mom! I can make patterns!!











On that note I leave you, look forward to some more blogging good times!! I've just been in a bad mood and I typed up this one post about school but it was terribly uninteresting and my internet wasn't working that day (FAWK MY ROOMMATES!) so you may never see it.

Peace! Love you kids!
