fiesta, fiesta



So, i know these two beezies... Carissa and Amy.

And whilst they are the most intelligent, artistic, colorful ladies I know, we always manage to get in the MOST trouble when the three of us are together. Think Drunk Charlie's Angels. Wrecking Havoc in the sreets of San Francisco, flailing our intoxicated bodies, to the beats of nineties pop classics. Basking in the unwelcomed attention of odd commodities (also known is creeper mcgees), admiring our uncensored pelvic gestures.


So my newest project, interviewing the loves in my life. The cool kids. The hooligans. So with that being said, here are a few composed, written sentences I jotted down one lovely night in the glorious glowing auras of Carissa and Amy...


ME: So, Tell me about your outfits tonight...
(Regarding the Mexican Print Linen Dresses They were sporting on Cinco De Mayo)...

AMY: I got my (dress) at Goodwill and hemmed it by myself. Hand stitched. Three Dollars on Haight.
CARISSA: I got mine in the Mission District at Close Contact for no more than ten dollars.

ME: "And, what about this new "business" slash "hobby" you have goin on. A collaboration between the two of you.."

AMY: Our video blog, ITSSOJ.blogspot.com . It's about whatever we fancy...She goes on to mention that "whatever" includes such topics as bras, bodies, sex and drinking. Forget censoring, these girls lay it all out. Truth be Told. By the way, ITSSOJ translates into; Is This Some Sort of Joke?!

ME: "So, basically, GLUTTONY?"

CARISSA: ALL the seven deadly sins in ITSSOJ!

ME: Fave spot in the city?

CARISSA; You can find me down at Ocean Beach, Dolores Park for together times, and Union Square for people watchin' and coffee.

ME: Single and Ready to Mingle?

AMY: Sure! Im having fun...Until I meet someone worth investing time into.
CARISSA: I like to "mingle" (as she giggles). There is no denying the mingle.
ME: I'm in.

ME: What are you listening to right now?
CARISSA: My i-pod is on shuffle; But will always be a No Doubt fanatic. The Tragic Kingdom was heard blasting through the speakers as we cruised through the city later that night.
AMY: On roatation; My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Kings of Leon, TV on the Radio

previous work






As May approaches, I am balancing both school and creative dabbling...Graduation is soon approaching (thank the lord almighty), and the summer shall bring new and exciting projects, as I have many ideas coming to a boil. In addition to this, i am trying to compile an installation for my first photography show taking place at 111 Minna Gallery on May 22. Thanks to Carissa, who's blog you can check out here, I feel I've finally been given the chance to put a foot in the door. I've nestled on the idea of collecting Polaroids (my favorite ones) in an array of brightly colored frames (those of which I am still scowering the hoods of San Francisco for).

I'm just really seeking progress creatively right now, so with that said...I really just want to use this blog to promote work (both wordly and visually), and keep the thought process on a continuum.
