Dear Blogger

Dear Blogger. I hate to do this to you but you've effected my images for the last time. I'm left you for another. Maybe one day I'll come back.

In the mean time I will still be checking for all of your updates!

Here is the link to my new blog: alyssainred.tumblr.com

True Love!

Once Again, blogger has taken my perfectly saturated images and lessened them. Not only that, but they are noisy as anything! Anyone who reads this is just going to have to trust that I'm not a complete failure at photography and that these photos are actually well done.

But anyway, Recently Jess and Eddie put their trust in me to photograph them for their WEDDING INVITATIONS. It being a Halloween wedding, we went to an orchard and used fall colors and imagery to really enhance this theme. Some of these photos I only posted because they made me laugh and I think captured the true nature of their relationship.

I'm including the final invitation at the bottom.

And now, A new entry

I need to post more often on here for like 6 to 7 hundred reasons.

I the most forward in my mind being
some people actually read it!
who cares if some people read it...it really should be just for me
wow that was selfish...i'm sorry!
I take it back! I ain't gonna hide my thoughts on my own blog!
Why didn't blogger auto correct words like "gonna" or "ain't" but told me "didn't" was spelled incorrectly?
None of these are reasons for posting more often....

but they are a demonstration of the return of my inner dialogue!
With my own angel and devil sitting on my shoulders who needs religion!

P.S. I need to post more often because it gives more purpose to my assignments. Perhaps even makes them works (insert emoticon here)

New Life

My sister had a baby :)

Carnies and Night Life

Meh... per usual, these photos look a lot better NOT on blogger. Blogger loves to desaturate and lighten photographs...

some photography blog huh?

I've Been Missing My Camera

Oh right...and I got new bedsheets!

If officially a Fine Arts Major :)

Before My Act of Failure

I've successfully broken my Macro Lens. BUT I did manage to shoot these photos before managing to break my own heart.

I wish blogger would get their shit together and make photos look how they did originally.
Anyway: Sad Week.

This is a Long One

I'm home this weekend, which means plenty of self-contemplation and rummaging through my old notebooks. This was my treasure:

First came my written song lyrics in the mix of class notes and math problems. A beginning to typography strictly through emotion!
Rufus Wainwright



Alyssa Kaminski



Rilo Kiley

Rilo Kiley


Jets to Brazil

Next, in the same work/play mix up came these bizarre and unfortunate characters I created for myself. I believe them to represent the pain of high school.

"Dag Yo"

"Deeelightful!"
"What the hell"



"This duck flower eats babies"



"Shit."


Thursday 2007
"YOU ARE STRANGER THAN I"
"Our tops are the same color"
"I'm going to go change"
"Go Away!"

After those hilarious doodles came mini notes of encouragement or riddled remindersI'm not sure if this is a love letter I never found...or just a joke



This I found in the middle of an almost empty notebook
It was hiding between the blank pages


I have no Idea what this means at all...and that's why I love it.

Finally came old photos

A notebook showing my baby while she was still alive
proclaiming "I don't know what I'd do without her"


A few pages later this image was taped in
After she died.



And finally pictures of me and my mom being goofs
to end things on a light note

Could these findings be glitches?

This Post is Called: Alyssa Gets a Macro Lens

I know, I know, It's just a start, but it's been fun fiddling with the new lens
I think I might use these wish-granting weeds as the subject for my next study.
That or... something entirely different!
Stay Tuned!

To quote

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd."

Today It Rained

And I thought to myself...how lame am I with these Macbook pictures..

But then I remembered:
THIS WAS ME THE OTHER DAY.

Sometimes rainy days are nice for sitting in a taking a break
I look like I'm taking a break in that top photo
But really I'm where I'm at in the second one.

IN ALL REALITY MY MIND IS HERE:

ain't it fabulous?

Shannon and Andrew!

New Post

Adam doesn't know I'm taking photos of him.

Like a stalker?


In a harsh whisper, "Why'd you do that?!"
