hop hop alonggg.

I had the pleasure of getting invited by Elyce to go see Hop Along at The Hexagon and meet up with some friends. I had only heard the full band recordings on myspace, but listened to it enough that I recognized some songs at the show. Definitely was the most packed I have ever seen it at The Hexagon. It was a lot of fun!

I only had my phone and my little samsung point and shoot, so here are a few photos.

Priscilla Ahn

I came across Priscilla Ahn while I was on Youtube searching for William Fitszimmons videos that I liked. I never knew who the beautiful voice was on his song "I Don't Feel It Anymore" on The Sparrow and The Crow. She truly writes beautifully and I love the video I found of her song "Living In A Tree" by JMLA in Los Angeles.



I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm curious to know if she is using a loop or delay or reverb pedal at the end of the video, or if they just overlapped audio on the video. Whichever way it was done, I really was into it. I feel it brought a lot of power into the song.

Blog ya later.

Pushing.

I've come to realize quite a few changes I want to make in myself, and one of them is pushing myself more in my work. My professor made a good point in class last week when he said that when he was in college he would just do work to get it done and get a grade, and that he wanted us to not do that. We should be trying to get portfolio pieces out of our class assignments.

So soon I will be working on a series about the goals I want to reach, and things I want to change and improve in my relationships, personality and life in general. I'm pretty stoked to be excited about an assignment.

but for now... here are some old photographs from a January 2010 roll of film that I shot with my Minolta point-and-shoot that got stolen the other night. Luckily I got this roll out before hand!
