stupid lightroom

since lightroom is being stupid here are some photos of my first painting! bear in mind that i have been doing this stuff for about a week and some of these were made the first day i ever picked up a brush. the first two are copies of Li Xiongcai's sketches and the other ones are copies of Shenzhou.








as for the past day or so mike and I journeyed off the island to the surrounding areas and found some really interesting farms with houses that look more or less like they are out of the dust bowl refugee camps. i didnt have my good camera with me so no photos of that at the moment. we also got lost in this interesting historical village near the fields. in this village there was so much to take photos of i didnt take really any because it is so overwhelming. this seems to be a common theme in china. the universities are epic and overwhelming as well as the small villages that are so dense. im still trying to just take in everything while im here. i need to find some kind of focus and purpose for my photos. i want to do a series on my classmates and their studio which is located in a 100 year old house in the nearby village. id also like to do something with the difference in biking from here and California.

im bumbed i got a copy of die hard 4 and AVP 2 and they both dont work in my computer, so i guess thats karma biting me in the ass. but then again the copy of plant earth i got does work =)
