Hipstamatic Dali Pack + FISHEYE LENS [images]
i think i might start updating this blog with images from my real life taken with the hipstamatic iphone app. i recently modified my iphone case to allow for interchangable lenses. i only have one...a fisheye...but am thinking about investing in a wide-angle and macro lens.
basically the dali pack for the hipstamatic app is an app the simulates "surrealism", or for technical terms for those who know their film camera techniques....its a double exposure, where the second exposure is slightly eschewed, and it fills in the unexposed spots on the film creating a "double image" effect. so i've been testing this new hipstapak out WITH the fisheye lens....here are the photos WITHOUT the lens:
and with the fisheye lens: [reminds me of a rorshach test]

Speechless Cover [lost entry]
although i'm not too big a fan of youtube covers, having done a few....this is easily my most favorite out of all of them...can't believe the videographer cut me out of the shot...pssshhh. this is a cover of Lady Gaga's "Speechless" performed with local hip hop band Afterschoolspecial:
again...if you want to view my [what feels like a] lifetime of art entries chronicling my progression through art....read through my xanga.
Calamities All-Styles Battle [lost entry]
i'm trying to keep my journal updated for the year i stopped recording entries of what i've done with art. this happened July 2010 at the Calamities Anniversary Jam. its the first jam i've ever won as a solo dancer. it felt pretty good. i thought i was going to lose because there were ALOT of poppers, and thats one of my weaknesses. but good thing their weakness was everything that WASN'T popping. ;]
