Video Logs

I just got back from a nice long trip to Washington and California. I'll write more about it later, but for now, here are my video logs that I did while I was in California. Please forgive the awkward endings to each one. I never know how to end them.

First semester without school...

Well, I know that I've been absent this past month, but there is a good reason for that... turns out that when I'm not in school, I don't spend so much time avoiding stuff that I have to or should be doing, and I don't seem to have as much time for following or writing blogs. In this past month, I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time with friends, I've re-watched the first season of LOST, and I'm working my internship. If you want to see what I've been up to, check out http://www.bighearthumanitarian.org/documents.php I wrote the newsletters for January and February. I write these to help the sponsors keep up with what's going on with the organization, with the children they sponsor in Guatemala, and with a sponsor of the month.

I'm working on getting things really moving with the organization, and I'm thankful that I'm getting this opportunity. Good news is that there will be some awesome posts about my travels that I'm going on in February. It's been a lot of work getting ready for them.

Fun New Opportunities

This month has been a fun one! I love getting good photos to use, and I enjoy goofing off in front of a camera. One of my friends is a photography student at BYU, and one of my old roommates is a hair and makeup artist. And while I never expected to do any modeling for them, I got the chance in January. I'm learning a lot about hair and makeup with these.

My first photo shoot was with Andrew. We picked outfits that would go along with the props he had picked out, and many of those were my formal dresses. I love the photos that he took. I will also say, that getting to see all of the photos is giving me a great idea of how to do better hair and makeup. Andrew is absolutely one of the most patient people that I've ever met, and it's fun to work with him. Most of everything he does is for class projects at this point, which means that most of the retouching he does is for specific class assignments.

The second photo shoot was for a bridal show. Lyn Shelley, my old roommate, partnered with James Zink. The whole idea is to improve the quality of pictures with makeup, and to encourage people to get their makeup done. Lyn does an AMAZING job! Here are some of the photos from the shoot:'

Interesting...

So, while I was looking up the phone number and location for the BYU dry-cleaning, I found this little gem. It was an interesting read. There are just about 40 posts, and it doesn't look like it's been updated in about a year and a half. It's a collection of little known facts relative to BYU students. Check it out.
