Hey- I had to delete my myspace- but it says that you and I are friends...hmmm I love school- i'm on winter break right now, 3 weeks! I just bought a plane ticket to California...i've never been, and I am really needing out of Seattle right now. Todays the first day of partial sun in about 3 weeks...I love cloudy weather- don't get me wrong- but sometimes you just need a break from your surroundings... what are you up to? working on any projects?

Hey- I don't even know where to start! I've been falling in love with cinematography and film since i can remember. I've been making films since i was about 12, and doing photography for probably about 8 years. What about you? Did you go to school for film? Or did you just kind of fall into it? What side of the field do you prefer? I want to focus on directing , but right now I'm working with a bunch of random cameras. This is a lame question- but do you have a myspace? haha Shannon-

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!

I'm excited for the trip- I agree with ya on NY- My original plans were to go there for film school back in 03' but stuff happened, ended up staying in Omaha. You ever been to Seattle? If you like Portland, you would love Seattle...I was supposed to go to Portland the weekend i'm going to Cali- but I decided Cali would be a little bit "further" for me- What do you do for your "Job"? Thats awesome that you have things rollin! Good luck!! I hope your out conquering the town tonight- I did all of my drinking for the next 2 weeks on Thursday- haha. it sucked.
