ISA!

If you are in the Bay Area on March 20 and has heard of ISA, please come out if you haven't already bought a ticket! Jin tha MC, Far-East Movement, WongFu Productions, Passion, Paul Dateh, Jessi Malay, ABDC Dance Set with DJ Virman are apart of the show! It should be EPIC. I am excited that FM and Wongfu gave me the opportunity to shoot for the concert again.

It is at Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. It should be really fun!





The photo of FM is mine! :) I wish that Wes (http://www.wongfuproductions.com) actually edited the photo more though. You can still see the red fire extinguisher box and the edges of the seamless in the photo!

and Saturday March 21st, Mama D of 4C the Power (http://www.4cthepower.com) asked me to photograph during the workshop. 4C the Power is a youth educational program. They have workshops with artists to teach kids about what they do, to promote the arts and for kids to be more engaged in school. Mama D asked me to do a photography workshop at the next 4C the Power event (not March 21, but after that). I'm really honored! Please come out to the workshop in Anthony Ochoa Middle School in Hayward on March 21 if you are in the area.




Yeah.. shameless plugs. Oh well. I'm excited for 2 weeks from now!

I also made little FM action figure pop up books for my friends from the band.

Pop!!

Here's going to the be the entry where theres more writing than work shown.

Basically here's the breakdown.
It's week 9.
5 more weeks until Location Lighting and Stock Photography is over. These classes are not my favorite, mind you.
5 more weeks until my 5th term is over! It's going by so fast.
5 more weeks until the exboyfriend who is in photography with me and who gave me so many problems the past year is graduating and leaving Art Center. (let me just say, I'm not just happy-- I'm ecstatic!!!)

This term has been painful and making me lazy. And I haven't been doing much lately. I wish I was doing more of my own work!

Because I haven't been producing much work, I decided to outsource a bit. I have an internship with Mr. Paul Sun of The Social Trust (http://www.thesocialtrust.com) and I have an internship with Catch Music Group / Plan C Agency (http://www.plancagency.com), and personal photographer to Far-East Movement (http://www.fareastmovement.com). It's pretty exciting, actually. I haven't started either of my internships, but I have secured spots with them. Daniel Park and Daniel Cho of FRA (http://www.futurerockstarsofamerica.com) also decided to hire me to photograph two music producers (whose name escapes me right now!).


I made a pop up tonight for portfolio development class. I've been having so many building-things-out-of-paper ideas floating around my brain for the past 8 weeks. I have two more to make, which I believe I will be making Monday afternoon. Our assignment was to bring in 20 objects and make a fake portfolio. I brought a flask, my hello kitty doll, gloomy bear keychain, a few books, a movie and some other objects for my fake portfolio. Then, we were to take those objects and make a piece that could continue to be in our portfolio.

New Year!

It's a new year. I'm hoping to accomplish a lot. I'm 5th term student this spring semester, 3 more terms to go before I graduate. that's a year! I can't believe how fast time is going by.

I shot my friend Juliana over break. She is so awesome. We've been friends since junior year of high school, and she now goes to Boston University. I wish she lived in California still though. Oh well, at least in April I get to hang out with her out in Boston.




I also shot my friend Jane Park over break. We didn't start hanging out until summer after high school graduation. I had the chance to stay with her last spring break at Wellesley. I love it there.




Then recently, for Location Lighting class.. our first assignment was to shoot a portrait in our homes. I shot my friend Cheryl. Cheryl and I have been hanging out a lot lately.. I'd go out to UCLA maybe once a week and eat Gushi (Which is this yummy Korean/Japanese teriyaki place out in Westwood) and chill out with her.
