Halloween








Halloween Ghosts
Here, there, everywhere,
The ghost flies about.
It's gleeful, mischievous, free of care,
It almost wants to shout!

Tonight is the night,
It comes but once a year.
The night to boo and fright,
The children who walk by here.

For, while the children boast,
and eat their candy sweet.
There's nothing sweeter to a ghost,
Then to scare someone they meet!

For remember this rhyme,
as you go running in flight.
It's not the kid's, nor the pumpkin's time,
Halloween is the ghost's night!

Colorize Me Cap'n





These are random images I edited for fun that I uploaded to my blog for the benefit of all my loyal readers who crave nothing more than a little of Beckett's own amazing artsy talent.

Computer on a Wall





These images were originally part of the "Thirds" group, but I decided to create a post specifically for them as they are all photographs of the same object. Said object is a segment of the inside of a computer hung on the wall outside of a classroom. I took the pictures and then edited them on photoshop in order to create a more emotional image.

Thirds


This first image is representative of the project as the thumb tacks are taking up only one third of the screen. The idea behind the image is that the needle of the tacks represent the piercing pain in my heart.


The tennis ball is located in the far right third of the image while the other end is barriered by the cement wall. In between is clovers which show my everyday struggle to get by and how sometimes all you need is a little luck.


This picture is perfect because the crack and the wall take up the bottom third while the ground covered in pretty purple petals (illiteration) cover the top of the frame. I love how the petals really express my inner desire to be liked and to be loved.


This fire extinguisher may seem like it is in the middle of the frame but in fact the picture os of the wall behind it. I like how it all blends together like the days of my life.

The theme behind this project was to frame the image in thirds. I.e. far to the right or top of the frame. It represents how our lives are seperate but they all intersect at interesting points, like my photographs.

TURTLE


The pain is representative of the pain of all Cal fans who experienced the USC game. Only highpoint, SONG GIRLS.


I took this photo at the Cal game... Cal Brown's raw emotion and love for Cal Football come through the screen in the form of his contorted face. The purple is symbolic of his fanaticism.
