The legendary John Szarkowski, photographer, curator, writer, superhero, is dead. Of a stroke at age 81. For those of you who dont know, Szarkowski used to head the Walker’s photography department and became one of the first curators to acknowledge contemporary photography as art in the late 60s and early 70s. You should read about him. Amazing.

…you kind of have to crank up the sound to understand him but the shit he says is worth hurting your ears with 80’s hair band.

so im totally hoping that we get a whole lot of new visitors since
bill showed our little shambotiance to the SES kiddies in our little staff show-off

It’s such a nice day! To celebrate, I’m hanging out inside drawing stuff. The second session of SES has just started and I’m trying to stay away from campus as much as possible, but I don’t think I’ll be able to hold out for very long. Ben, Joel, Evan, and Emma are all TA’s, which means I won’t be able to see them during most of the afternoons the next two weeks. Alli and I will get to hang out a lot though, as we are both RA’s this session. Yay!

We went bowling yesterday with the students. It was pretty fun, and I bowled a 125! Anything over 100 is a amazing to me. Anyway, here are a few fun sketchbook/drawing things. In order they are:
1. A doodle
2. An illustration for a class. We had to create an image that would go along with a review for a restaraunt. I picked Solera.
3. Another doodle, that turned into a drawing.

…this is what we’d do.

During my one week off between SES one and two I moved my parents out of my high-school home and worked one day at computer support (today) where I made the best fucking animation ever. Observe.
