Book Reconstruction.

In high school one of my last art projects (which I like to call "Book Reconstruction") was to completely transform a book and make it about something you enjoy. You basically take a book and you cut, draw, paste, paint..etc. all over it. I was obsessed with the project, but annoyed with the time constraints. I decided tonight (out of nowhere) that I wanted to do another one. Take another stab at it and not have any deadlines to meet. I took out a hardy boys book and began to "reconstruct" it.

Here are a few examples of amazing book art:

Obviously mine won't be as extravagant or as detailed as the ones above, but... a boy can dream... right? 

The Intern Trials.

I mentioned in my blog a few days ago that I had an interview for an internship. Well, good news I got it and I've already started working for the photographer. So far my job has consisted of running all around town buying, returning, picking up, and shipping out items. It's been sort of insane! I wasn't expecting to just be thrown into the hustle and bustle of it all, but I was. I'm sort of nervous about how it's going to affect my schedule with school and my other job, but I'm still looking forward to the opportunities that this could open up for Endless Media. (btw, Endless Media is a wedding video production company that I work for on the side... hoping it'll turn into a full fledge job at some point.)

The next month is going to be insane. I try not to think about it because I get a bit stressed about everything on my plate. All I know is I'm going to enjoy every little bit of it (yes, I'll even try to find a bright side when I'm flailing on the ground due to stress) . If things don't work out then they aren't what God wants for my life. I need to remind myself more that He is in complete control of my path and He is the one who is completely guiding my life.

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

opportunities.

The past few days have been filled with nothing but school work. I'm ready for this semester to end. (SO ready!)

I tend to daydream while in class about what I want to accomplish this summer, but I try and stray away from thinking about it too long. I need to focus on what's happening at the moment.

I received a message to be a 2nd shooter for a wedding in August. Opportunities have started jumping at me and I can't help but cling to everything that comes my way. I have an interview tomorrow for a paid summer internship with a local photographer. Trying not to get my hopes up, but still looking forward to what this could become!

Oh! I watched Lord of the Rings this past saturday! (the fellowship of the ring to be exact) I really enjoyed it. I plan on watching the next two this next weekend.

sweet tooth.

I hate to admit that all I ate today was candy, but it's true. I have such a sweet tooth. It really needs to stop. I'm hooked on sugar.

Tonight my dad's band got together for a reunion/benefit concert. Every time they get together I'm brought back to being young and on the road with them. I remember back then I felt like a rockstar's kid getting to travel around the midwest on a bus.

My mom always brings up how my dad missed out on my childhood, because he was out travelling with the band and working a full time job. My mind is pretty cloudy on that idea. I remember being in such awe at what an amazing father I had. He's an amazing singer and he was a hard worker. I'm glad my father pursued his dream. Still to this day I'm in awe of what a brilliant dad that God has blessed me with. I pray that I'm half the man he is.

Anyways, I better go grab a reese's off the kitchen counter if I'm going to cut out sugar tomorrow!

The Start.

My life is going through a season of change. I want to document that change. I want to remember the things I go through and take note of the opportunities that arise. This is the start...
