Europe is breath-taking. I expected to love it, but the architecture and the overall atmosphere managed to exceed my already high expectations. This is the result of being shutter happy, deciding to bring long-expired film along, and London being a very photogenic city. To my surprise, the entirety of the city looked like this; I can’t wait to go back. Photos of Somerset House, Buckingham Palace, The River Thames, and more.

Deus Ex Machina
16/03/13 – 10:17 AM
By definition, “deus ex machina” is a literary device in which divine intervention is used to resolve a problem, sometimes unexpectedly. Quite literally it is “god from the machine.” For my grad show a couple years ago, it was suggested as an overall theme, pointing to moments of inspiration to solve design problems. While that didn’t go over too well, I like the idea of bursts of inspiration and mechanical serendipity. It’s possibly why I enjoy shooting analogue — light leaks and accidental double exposures are sometimes the best parts of looking through freshly developed photos for the first time.
London, Part 1: The Eye
14/03/13 – 9:44 AM
Travelling to London (and Paris for a day) this past October marked my first time in Europe. Obviously, it was everything I expected and more. Lovely culture, beautiful architecture, and great shopping. Photos are of The Eye, but mostly taken while on it. It’s essentially a gigantic ferris wheel (443 feet tall!) situated on the banks of the River Thames. It overlooks London, offering tourists (and maybe locals?) a fantastic view, especially of Big Ben and parliament. From seeing photos in the past, I didn’t expect much of the giant clock attraction, but I found it absolutely stunning in person.
