Travel Post

Ever since I was little I have loved to travel. Traveling always gave me a good opportunity to take photos in new places.  I love traveling so much I've driven to most places on in the US and a few places in canada like Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec. For the past 11 years I have been working on a photo series that are a collection of fisheye portraits of myself in front of different city landmarks and places. As for my favorite place I have been I would say a tie between Montreal and Chicago. Although the trip there is half the fun.

1000 True Fans

As an unestablished artist I can't imagine having 1000 true fans. Of course every artist understands that you must have a certain number of people who like your work to pursue a career in the arts.  This article lays out a few good points about how you can manage 1000 true fans weather it be by yourself or through a manager.  If I had 1000 true fans I would think a blog would be the easiest way to keep in contact with fans, they are a simple way for your audience to leave feedback.

Homework #3


I chose this image from 1000words.com because I am a huge fan of Pixar's animated shorts and this photoshop of Karl Malden is reminiscent a more realistic version of their animation.  Unlike Pixar's animation this photo started out as a normal portrait of Karl Malden and was photoshopped to smooth out the skin and enlarge facial features to make him appear more cartoonish.  The image is real enough to pass as a person, yet surreal enough to be animation.
