No flash photography

The promo DVD for school has become this capstone project that never ends. There are always more video clips to get, always more events to stalk.

Well, the last event I “stalked” was the Nursing home society. I’m actually relatively OK with nursing homes. My old youth group in NC used to go every month. I had this feeling that I might make the residence feel uncomfortable with my camera, but they didn’t seem to notice. Or maybe their cataracts were acting up and they didnt see me clearly.

Not the one in Waterown, obviously

I got some good shots of the college students singing, and then from behind me emerges Esther Calvino. With the huge Cannon SLR. Well now im sure these people feel bombarded: video and photo at the same time.

Esther is shooting away. You can hear the clicks for miles. I started shooting pictures with the mini cam (great HD shots), then this lady comes in the room and tells Esther that she can’t take pictures in there (which will mark the 2nd time in 2 weeks that Ive been scolded for filming [supreme court room in Madison, not pretty]).

So we were successfully kicked out of a nursing home. I can mark that on my bucket list.

it’s been awhile

Seeing as how its been about 9 months since I last wrote in this, I thought I would start again.

I was kind of inspired to start blogging again by looking at websites in WebDesign class with Jeremiah (it is a little strange to be instructed by someone you work with, but I cant think of a better person to teach webdesign). Searching through smashingmagazine under this texture feature they had, there was an amizing website that a guy blogs and deisgns on – Check it out –

If you have forgotton what I look like, here I am:

Lots has happened since Northland. I am doing a lot more work in the Communications office. We produce a weekly webcast, that I am basically in charge of writing and rough editing. I work Stage Crew. Thats been my dream job since Ive been here and now I finally have the job.

Its my last semester here the great Natha. Bitter-sweet. But since it is my last semseter, Ive been reflecting on how to leave my stamp here. I am privileged to be the President of my dorm and that gives me plenty of opportunities to leave my stamp/footprints. But something that Im struggling with is whether or not the girls will remember as a spiritual leader as opposed to just one who knows how  to entertain and plan things. I guess thats up to me.
