iPhone binoculars

You've gotta learn to line up the lenses just right.
No filter on these, ladies & gentlemen, that brownish tint comes from dirty binoculars and sunset lighting-- and that's actual vignetting, too!

It's my favorite season

Today is my 21st birthday! And a beautiful fall day on Capitol Hill.
This past weekend I went for a walk through the neighborhood with my boyfriend. We like fancy houses and fall colors, for sure. I took some photos.

Also, today I finished three midterms and applied for graduation!

Definitely a really good day.

Vocational Discernment

It's a been a while. I'm back at school and still waiting to hear from Europe if I'm invited over in January.
I've been busy at work in my last year of school, working on a website (coming soon) and on some more projects with OurAmericanGeneration. Here's a quick sketch I made last night-- I've been loving Watch The Throne and Relax, the new Das Racist album-- while I fantasized about what it would be like to just chill. For the rest of my life.

Ok. Back to work.

Tweet tweet!

Just redesigned some twitter backgrounds for Our American Generation, The Seattle University Spectator & myself! Working on them reminds me of when I first learned how to use photoshop-- by making Sailor Moon desktop backgrounds in Photoshop 7.0 in elementary school! 4th grade was a helluva year.

EDIT: also, hungrykanye. DUH.

It's an OAG thang...

I've started a new partnership with a social justice organization called Our American Generation.

You can check them out here: OAG.org.

It's run by the youth for the youth, and provides grants for research and a platform for expression on social justice issues. It's like that club in high school that had all the cutest boys, also.

Above is a sneak preview of their 'zine, which I have been working on re-vamping.

Branded.

It's summer, which means it's time to look for new jobs or prep for the new school year.

And that's what I've been up to. I have revised my resume and made some matching letterhead:

And (in the past few months) made some resumes for friends:
