Nostalgia Friday: Shabbatlucks

My good friend Sarah (whom you can find at www.sbglicksteen.com) introduced me to the tradition of Shabbat, the Jewish sabbath, or day of rest. She had these parties, each called a "Shabbatluck" where a whole pile of college kids would cram into her apartment and eat challah and drink wine and enjoy one another's presence. I really enjoyed them and would write more, but the sun is about to set and I want to be sure to keep the sabbath properly when posting about it on my blog.

Meet my momma

It only took me ten years behind the camera, but I finally took a really nice picture of my mother. I like making her laugh and I finally got a picture of her laugh, even though I wasn't the source of this laughter. Enjoy:

Meet Eric Wright

Here is the character profile with audio that I did for my picture story class. It was my first time doing an audio story on something other than a musical group, which made editing the audio much more difficult for me. I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out, though there are a few types of shots I wish I could have gotten. The color is a bit dull because I forgot to convert the images to sRGB and had already done all the timing in SoundSlides and I didn't have the time to re-sequence the whole thing. I have to rebuild the show in FinalCut, though, so I'll convert the images and repost.

Anyway, on to the project. I hope you enjoy it:

Meet Rugby

Contrary to what my lack of blog posts may convey, I am actually taking a lot of photographs this semester, even a few that I actually like. I've got tons of things to put up here, but for now I'm taking the time to only post a few shots from a rugby match I shot last weekend. While at the pitch, I redid my "Five Points of View" assignment (I think), the edit for which you see here, plus two extras (the first two). More to come later.








(They, um, didn't win.)
