Bad? Hair Day

I'm lying in wait of a hopeful revolution (which would be us moving our class blogs to LiveJournal.com). So in the mean time I've just been really hating this site. But I guess I shall post on you anyway.





At the end of last semester, when I had "free time" (time when I was avoiding finishing up my Typography book), I would Photoshop some of the pictures of my friends. For like two weeks I was really into darkening ("burning"), lightening ("dodging"), and saturating ("sponging") people's hair so that it looked like a different colour than it actually is.

These are some of my favourites from that group.

Groundbreaking

Oh look, I'm updating from class. How naughty (?) of me.

I hate missing the bus in the morning because then I have a fifteen minute walk ahead of me. Yeah, I know, it's not that big of a deal. But when you live in Wisconsin you get all kinds weather, and it all seems to be inclimate. Foggy. Snowy. Slushy. Breezy. Fucking hot. Humid. Rainy. Below-zero-degrees-y.
In the fall I'd have to walk in some big early morning humid mess (Global Warming wants the world, and it wants it now. When was the last time we had snow on Christmas? And what's with the increasingly warm/late winters?). This morning I was slipping on slushy grey gunk all the way up Kenwood Blvd.
But enough bitching.
The plus side to walking in (besides exercise, but who needs that) is that I get to pass the ghetto Sentry that got tore down for being gross and violating a billion health codes (and our eyes). The construction has been going on for a few months now, and I always find things that I like in it. I just try to avoid taking pictures of the workers (not that I don't, I just try not to).

This particular picture reminds me of an earthquake. And the.... scoopy thing... is sitting in the background being rusty and looking guilty. Even though it's not attached.

The Sky Sure Is Blue Today

This picture was another excursion downtown snapping away (not that you snap with a digital camera, not really).

I was inspired loosely, oh so loosely, by the album cover to Destination Beautiful by Mae. A band I highly recommend, although I won't because this isn't a music blog and that would be off topic.

Hmm, what was that noise just now?

Rainbow City

I love wandering around Downtown taking pictures. I wouldn't go as far as to call it Urban Exploration because I don't know anything about any of the buildings or their history or things like that you're supposed to know.

I do however love gritty alleys and buildings clustered in a skyline.

Not that this picture is gritty. At all. But you know what I mean.

A Streetcar Lacking Desire

Taking the bus after getting out of Summerfest (or any large city festival I would imagine) is always good times. Nothing like being cramped into a small space with loud drunk people. And even better you can feel the collected weight weighing down the bus. That way you get to enjoy the fun for longer.

I really have no idea how often is acceptable to post to this blog. Too much or too little? Do I care? Maybe not.
