So I was tagged by Meghan and I guess I'm supposed to put the 4th picture from the 4th album of my computer on here. I don't have a computer anymore so I'm on my parents and this is the picture. It's a picture of my niece Abby from probably 5 years ago playing the piano.



TAG! MIKE BRINEY! YOU'RE IT! put the 4th pic of the 4th album on your blog and tag someone else.

SNOW DAY!

So today I was on my way out of Rexburg around 2 and got as far as the exit to the freeway and said I DON'T THINK SO! It was a blizzard and I couldn't see ten feet in front of me at all. I was with a friend who was going with me to Utah and we both didn't have a good feeling about it. So now it's a SNOWED IN weekend!!! Actually, we're planning on leaving in the morning so hopefully it will be better. Her flight is at 3 tomorrow so we'll see! Yikes!! So we're gonna rent some Christmas movies and get a pizza. Luckily my married friends are poor and can't afford to leave yet so I still have a few friends left here...

...and another...

a new one

Witness first had what exactly it is that I do...

Sometimes I get caught up in my Photoshop activities that the hours literally fly by. It's bad. I'll look at the clock and it will by 5:52. Then I'll look 30 seconds later and it will be 9:13. I don't know what happens! Luckily, I have a project due tomorrow that took me forever so I wasn't actually letting the hours pass by for fun, but rather eduactional purposes. I had to edit eleven pictures in Photoshop that I took and do advanced editing techniques. To save confusion, lets just say I had to play in Photoshop for 12 hours. And then I had to buy a photo album from Walmart and put the printed edits in there. I also had to create a cover and a back cover to the album. Following are my pictures and complete from cover to cover (I believe if you click on them they get bigger.) My three favorites include the wagon one, the violin one, and the one of the Bannack Ghost Town. Also, I use my friend Marion a lot as a model cause she has it goin' on. Enjoy.

Halloween

It's been ten days but Halloween was pretty fun this year. Most of my friends had to work that night. What? So I ended up just dressing up to be in a few pictures and around ten o'clock my friends got off and we went to the FEAR FACTORY in Rigby which is a haunted house that really scared me. It got me dang good. Anyway I decided to dress up as Cast Away. It was cheap and, MIRACULOUSLY, I even found a Wilson volleyball at Big Five. As in really, a legit Cast Away promotion volleyball. I originally went to Walmart to buy a white volleyball and red paint to paint my own Wilson face on but they didn't have any SO I went and tried Big Five and they actually had probably 40 Cast Away Wilson volleyballs!! It even says Cast Away on the volleyball. It was stunning. Anyway...it worked. But I fear my days of fun Halloween's are over (until I have kids) as nothing will ever top Halloween 2006 as the ultimate Halloween: when I was Quailman and my best friend Jon was Skeeter Valentine. That was da bomb.

Hay Maze

For FHE this week we went to the Rexburg Hay Maze. I was kinda bitter cause when we got there it looked small from the outside and I didn't wanna pay five bucks to go through a two minute maze. But I was wrong...very wrong. We went in groups of four and it took us one hour and a half to get out of it! It was insane. I was humbled. Frustrations arose. But we finally made it out!...Also, Rexburg has a haunted house called the Haunted Mill that is really creepy. A group of us went and we took these pictures afterwards. You will notice in the second one that there is a creepy person (it was a Haunted Mill person we believe...or is it?) in the back middle that no one knew was there until we got home. It really creeped us out...and still gives me the willies!!

Creepy!

Absolute Chaos!

This past Friday I went on a group date similar to one I've been on before. Brooke asked me and we went with all her roomates and dates. Pretty much we wear jumpsuits, go out in the middle of nowhere, and have a huge paint war fight. It's pretty intense and chaotic. But a ton of fun. Pictures are proof:

Logo

My friend Josh is in an IBC Company on campus and their company is selling cookie dough and their company is called Dough On The Go! He asked me to design their logo:

My Child

So I guess during the Saturday Afternoon Session of General Conference there was a children's choir (I listened to this one online while working on a project...). In the choir I guess there was a young boy who looks exactly like me. I had about fifteen friends from all over the place text me this! My friends parents in LA paused their television on the little boy, took a picture of it, texted matt and mike the picture...and so it begun. But also friends in Georgia, Arizona, and Utah all texted me as well! But I gotta say this kid does show some resemblence...what do you think?

Family Resemblance?

Parker and Ollie

My sister Robin put this picture of Parker and Ollie up on her blog. I stole it and played with it. Hope you like it robin!

Eventful Weekend!

This weekend was fun! Friday was our friend Meghan's birthday so we went to Johnny Carino's to celebrate. There was a camera and about 200 pictures taken.  I somehow found myself in 198 of them...

Me, Seth and Matt...

Matt and Josie...oh, and me.

We went to the sand dunes this weekend, and I ended up getting stuck right next to the road in the sand. It didn't look that deep!!!! So this is me grieving. Two nice guys with a jeep stopped and helped us out.  Tiffany (the car) is a good sport.

We/I also went shooting this weekend with some friends. I was nervous when my friend Brooke had the shotgun...

The semester is going great!

Here's Three More...

More of Marion. I love playing in Photoshop and getting the tone for each picture. This is also a project I'm working on so that makes it even better.

This one below is better if its bigger so you may need to click on it to enlarge.

Photo of Marion

I will be putting a lot of my projects this semester for you to see and critique.  Tonight I did a photo shoot with my friend Marion.  This was one of my favorite pictures I took and I played with it in Photoshop.  I'll be taking more pictures and editing them in Photoshop for my Custom Images class.  I thought this one turned out pretty cool. 

Rainy Hike

On Saturday, it rained all day long and we were tired of being inside so we decided to go on a sort of hike. Matt and I called our friend Kaitlin to come along and we went to Rigby where there was a hiking trail up the side of a hill and by the snake river. Ten minutes out of the car it decided to hail like crazy with close lightning and thunder. We then decided to go home after those ten minutes. But it was the most fun part of the day. We got soaked!!!

Freezing and wet. Good picture moment.
You can see the size of the hail in the picture.

Cold and wet.As high as we got. We could see the snake river.
