Raleigh

Haha, this is Andrew's friend Ori from Israel...we went out for a beer the first night of the show and later he came with us to the art museum. This was sunday night and this was about the only place still open, but they had $3.00 bloody marys that were reeeeeally good. Saturday night we met Kristen for dinner in Chapel Hill. We at at a mediterranean restaurant that had so much food we didn't know what to get. We ended up getting a sample platter and some other small things. We had a stuffed cabbage roll, which I think we call golumpki, and it wasn't nearly as good as mom's.

The North Carolina Museum of Art

This building is recent, but I don't know when it was built. It's pretty amazing, and, again, I could have taken a billion more pictures but I ran out of time. Just google it. The part I really liked was the reflective, permeable, light qualities of everything. All the aspects were really subtle and made one big impression, but if you had taken away one of the smaller pieces, you would definitely have noticed.

Raleigh Convention Center

The NAHB National Green Building Conference was held at the Raleigh Convention Center. I realized I only took pictures of this one wall, but thats ok. I took so many pictures of it i didn't have time to take any of anywhere else because we were ready to go. And the security guards were making fun of me because I was laying on the floor and moving plants and what not. The show was awesome, I learned a lot and finally got some good networking in. We got to do everything we'd do if we payed, except we were volunteering so we looked better. It rained the whole time, too. Also, the only thing I don't know how to fix on Andrew's camera is how bright and washed out the light gets, I've changed everything and I can't totally fix it.

I kept playing with photoshop...
again there's not as much detail as I would have liked, buuuuuut I'm not a professional so I like it :)

Andrew's Birthday; in the colosseum

These pictures came out really grainy and I lost a lot of detail that I might have been able to save if I printed them myself, but I used photoshop and fixed quite a bit. Even so, I still like them...they make me think of the Grunge Period in the 90's. The last one was supposed to be of Andrew's friend Eddy smoking a cigarette, but I can't really figure out what I'm looking at besides smoke...i like it.

Spring Break

I like the tree/gate combo




there was an old horse trailer out back that was rusty and all I could think of was that I wanted to decorate a room using these colors, maybe make these into a series of prints. It looks like art.

These turned out pretty well for having messed up film and getting them developed at wal mart. This was the old truck out back of the cabin we stayed in for New Years.
