Pollock 1




An artistic experimental experiment a la Jackson Pollock. Six shades of paint, five brushes, two artists and one canvas. This painting is appropriately entitled "Stuck in a Moment."

Summer is for Sharing




What is it that's so appealing about a blue back drop? The eyes find it comforting and attractive...maybe because of it's abundance and the connection made with the larger entities of our lives, such as the sky and the ocean? Whatever it may be, it works. It's non-abrasive and attractive. A good back drop for any color tone. At least that's why they use it for the news. But this - a silhouette - is simple. Beauty in simplicity, a simple camera trick.

A beautiful day with a borrowed camera




The rain let up enough to provide a good day for taking some pictures on Friday. I haven't really spent too much time outside this summer. But now that I'm settling into a regular (though nutty) work schedule, I think I'll be able to spend more time taking pictures and just lounging outside.





Not much else to comment on. I'm just trying to stay awake at work...

Every picture tells a story, don't it?






This post's title is a quote from Rod Stewart's song, Every Picture Tells a Story. I've never seen Almost Famous, but lately I've been enjoying the soundtrack. This photo was taken on a rainy Sunday night. Last Sunday, to be exact. I didn't notice it, but a friend pointed it out to me. Graffiti itself has always fascinated me, and I feel that it is ever so appropriate to have "fate" scrawled on the lid of a trash can. In quotations nonetheless.


I recently started a part-time job at WGME-13 as an operations technician. The hours are less than glamourous, but I sincerely enjoy the people I get to work with, and I'm learning a lot. I'm still waiting to hear back from the 2 grad schools I've applied to. As it turns out, the grade for my senior thesis was never turned in, leaving my transcript incomplete. Hopefully I can get this mess cleared up before the weekend, so I will hear back within the week.

The words go "La la la la la"






Spring is now here, now that the flowers have emerged and the trees have once again turned green. Maine is beautiful.

Monuments and Memorials

Today there was a Memorial Day parade. I wish I had known ahead of time, I wanted to be down taking some photos. But instead I kind of woke up to it. I miss being in parades.









And the mills cease to amaze me. I find them very powerful, and beautiful.

And hence






I just recently started to work at WGME Channel 13 in Portland in the Master Control Room. I've learned a lot this past week and pretty soon my training will be complete and I'll be working some very late nights on my own. But I'm enjoying myself.


This past week was incredibly busy for me, aside from starting a new job, a trip to the ER, a concert in Boston, and babysiting on top of that. So it was nice to take a day off today to just sit and enjoy myself. I guess that's why I chose the above picture for this post, it's my Nana about to indulge in a special peach dessert.

A toast!




Graduation was yesterday. I have officially and sucessfully completed my BA. And it feels good, it truly does. It's a wonderful thing, to be around people that fully love and support you. I am starting to feel a sense of pride, as many say that I should. And so I am posting this photo...it's of a tulip, and I'm quite proud of it. Cheers.

I've looked at clouds that way...




The day started our very grey and full of rain, but then the sky lit up as the clouds seperated at about 7 this evening.





Gorgeous. An excellent evening of photos.
