Spring

It's spring, guys - AKA the perfect time for some snow showers? Here are a few photos I've taken lately of spontaneous shoots and group related shenanigans. I also wanted to make the announcement that my series, [For]wards, will be unveiled May 2014!! I've been working on this series for around a year now. It's a spontaneous blend of photos that I've manipulated with a purpose in mind for each one of them.

THIS WEEK'S LINKS!

Hello -

I know I have been slacking with the weekly links segment, but since I'm on spring break, I thought it was fitting to write one up for this week! I'm not including the links I've enjoyed throughout the past few weeks - just the ones that I've seen in the past few days that have sparked my interest.

LIGHTING, LIGHTING, LIGHTING - Lighting is important for us to function as human beings as it keeps our biological clocks in check.

Design Nori was created in order to increase the level of seaweed consumption in Japan which has recently been on a decline. 

Kind of late but still relevant. Here's some cool stuff I found surrounding Oscars coverage etc. etc. Still bummed that Act of Killing didn't win the documentary award, but..

Here's an article about Hayao Miyazaki who announced his OFFICIAL (see: official) retirement in September. I still have yet to see The Wind Rises.. Miyazaki is perhaps most well known for his films, Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.  Miyazaki will be missed dearly, but you can still enjoy his very complete filmography so I suggest you go do that!
