It takes getting lost to find your way
January 20, 2009
This week just keeps getting more and more interesting. From getting lost en route to the train station, searching for authentic Danish smørrebrød, arriving to survival Danish an hour late after alarm failure, riding a bike home with about 50 pounds of books, failing to lock my awesome yellow bike, watching Obama’s inauguration with a … More It takes getting lost to find your way
Arrived! Happy and Exhausted.
January 18, 2009
I’m here! Currently sitting in my room at the Jeppesen’s house, thinking that this has been the longest day of my life. But so far so good. I already met some cool DIS people on the plane to Copenhagen and the hellish registration/check-in that lasted from 7am to noon. It was great to share our … More Arrived! Happy and Exhausted.

St. Pete, Florida: 57 degrees and sunny Brunswick, Maine: 11 degrees, feels like -3, partly cloudy Copenhagen: 36 degrees, feels like 26, mostly cloudy Ok so a cold front has finally penetrated the grossly warm Florida winter.

Countdown: one week
January 11, 2009
So in exactly one week, I will be sitting on a plane about one hour away from touchdown in Copenhagen. I will probably be exhausted, hungry, nervous to the point of a stomach ache, and undeniably excited. Hopefully that last emotion will cancel out all the rest. Most of my other friends going abroad this … More Countdown: one week
Thoughts on Final Project
December 17, 2008
My initial idea for the final project was to create three panoramas of stitched together sky, houses, and ground landscapes. I enjoyed the panorama project and wanted to create something more traditional than a fictional mirage and something of the sky in all its bright glory. I was able to shoot on a very sunny … More Thoughts on Final Project

Carl Mydan
December 3, 2008
Carl Mydan’s war photography is absolutely stunning in composition, style, and subject matter. He photographed some of the major events in our world’s history and made photography crucial in journalism. Personally, I have never heard of him before which surprised me after looking at his work. Reading his obituary and the captions associated with his … More Carl Mydan
Pornography and art?
December 2, 2008
The human body is a beautiful thing and has every right to be photographed and categorized as art. However, I don’t really get how pornography photography fits into this category. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I felt extremely uncomfortable viewing Elsbeth’s slide show. You don’t see things like that every day. And ultimately … More Pornography and art?
