600th post!!!!!! daydream chicago...end of semester edit

As a requirement for class I had to edit my mid-term film from over 10 minutes to less than 5 minutes.  Well, I got as close as I could to it without losing the integrity of the film.  So here it is.... and also... this is my 600th post!!!!! What?! 

a summer day

My sister and her boyfriend from Houston are in town this weekend!  It seems as though we are running a bed and breakfast around here!  It will be a great time!  Below is a little video from fourth of july, pitchfork music festival, and lake michigan! Have a great weekend!

daydream chicago

I have an extremely busy week ahead of me with midterms and a wedding I'm in in Colorado this weekend!  I also downloaded the new update to iphone and managed to permanently delete all of my gmail inbox and have tried to recover with no success.  Good thing: email inbox is empty Bad thing: email box is empty and all that have commented on my page the past week... I had responses in que but I will have to somehow back track!  Oh well! Life goes on I suppose.  Below is edit #5 of my film for media and communications class.  It's due next week so I still have time to change things....and the ending is for fun.  I was just playing around in imovie.  Final version will be much higher quality. 

pk vol.14

I should have posted these about two weeks ago but I forgot that I had them. Here are some stills from my Pecha Kucha Chicago Vol.14 presentation.  I was way nervous presenting in front of about 300 people but I had such an amazing time and would do it again!  What a great night with amazing presenters!

a single man

We went to go see the movie "A Single Man" directed by Tom Ford over the weekend and were very impressed!  I highly recommend it to anyone!  Rough summary: In 1960s Los Angeles, a gay college professor wants to end his life after learning that his lover has died in an accident.   Very emotional and inspiring.   The costuming and eye-wear in the movie are fantastic!
