Heat Wave.

Today, I had absolutely nothing to do, because I woke up at about 1pm. Too late :/ So later in the day I decided to try out some self-portraiture. I grabbed some liquid love (AKA dutch bros), withstood the heat and headed to Elk Rock Island to take some pictures. Just a fact, this place is accreted terrain, which means it used to be in the ocean, but subduction scraped this chunk of basalt off the Juan de Fuca plate and onto the North American plate as it was subducting under it :) A little geology lesson for ya there! It would make sense because I discovered this place on a mini geology field trip!

The water felt good. Even if it was disgusting. After all, it was 103 degrees out and I had sweat dripping down me the whole time.

Reflect.

WHOOSH.

Crazy hair.

Seen from behind.

Jumping.

I tried to use a drawing of an eye for my other eye, it's kinda low :/ but that's okay :) FYI I might get that tattooed there sometime!

Clackamas County Fair!

Every year there is an art showing at the Clackamas County Fair. This year I decided to put some of my photography in :) They said 3 black and white and 3 color. Here are the ones I put in...

Droplets.

Modern Oregon Trail.

Sleep Depravation.

This is the last leg of my sleep depravation. I stayed up painting one night and then stayed up until 2am the next night. So close to 48 hours... Maybe next time!!! haha

I wanted to take some longer exposure pictures with lighting and stuff like that. here's the results...

The Elements.

In honor of the movie Avatar the Last Airbender, Brooklyn did the makeup and I took the pictures of the elements. Unfortunately, the movie sucked.

Water.

Fire. Going for the "already burned down" look.

Me as Earth. Photo credits: Brooklyn!

Piercing eyes.

I loved this shoot! So fun!
