Hanging Out w/ Jennifer
This might sound silly, but I picked up two rubber duckies from Earth Fair yesterday, and since I know Jennifer loves them so much, I walked to her church earlier today to visit her. Kanie also came along. She really liked the rubber duckies I gave her, so that’s good. Was this the only reason I went to visit her? Well, yeah. I mean, we were planning to go to Matador Nights on campus, but she is doing this 30 hour famine thing with her church.
Jennifer was sketching out how she wants to work on the huge posters her church was going to post to get people’s attention on the streets. So there’s the flyer on the left and her sketch on the right. Isn’t she just so good at art? Haha.
Here’s Kanie, Mike and Christine working on the poster. Jennifer did the art, and we all just colored. It was fun, though. Maybe it’s just because I like art and coloring…
The Surreal Theatrical – 120/365
Today is the last day of Professor David Blumenkrantz’s MFA art gallery called The Surreal Theatrical, so I went to check it out. (I also get extra credit for my Photojournalism class if I write a paper about it, too.) It is basically street photography on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, and the photos are awesome. It kind of reminded me of my documentary project because it is about a certain location. You can find more information about it here, and he also made a book through Blurb. You can find that here. It also has a preview!
J455 – More Historic Filipinotown
10 photos total. (more)
You are probably bored of me saying that I went down to Historic Filipinotown with Jonathan over and over, but that’s what we did again last Saturday afternoon. However, we went around its neighborhood to see what was going on this time. Unfortunately, there weren’t many things going on, or we’re just being totally oblivious! We did go to Lake Street Park where it has a Filipino World War II memorial and a skate park where lots of children were skating, etc. We talked to this man who was selling snacks and drinks, and we found out that he comes to the park everyday to sell them. In the end, we got a number of ideas of how we’re going to approach our documentary, like we would focus on the children one day and the religion on another. Hopefully it all works out…
