Portland!

Just two from our class field trip to Portland last week. It’s a really cool town. Glad I finally had a chance to visit.

Promos: Poonam & Becky

Two of the other Americans with me in Martos (you may recognize them from previous photos), Poonam and Becky, are pursuing a career in acting. They asked me to do some promotional photos to add to their portfolio. We went out to the park on a hot day with a hula hoop to take some headshots and dancing photos.

Oregon!

A little over a month ago I mentioned that I was in architecture school… I told you it was going to be busy!

First, the good news: I got my kit lens back in fully working order. Hurrah! As much as I love my nifty fifty, it’s nice to not be limited to the one lens.

They’ve been keeping me busy in school for sure, but I’ve had the chance to have some fun at least. I don’t have a car, but my friends have ‘em, and we’ve used them to get out of town a few times. The most interesting place we went was to the coast, which is like nowhere I’ve ever seen. From Eugene, you drive through the mountains and along the river, through a beautiful forest. Once you reach the coast you drive through more forest, turn a corner and then suddenly you’re confronted with huge sand dunes. Crazy! Sand dunes in the middle of the forest. I’m told you can actually get lost in them if you don’t stay on the path.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from summer (yes, summer) trips to the beach and going camping.

Feria San Lucas, Jaén

Ian — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:56:06 +0000

This is a HUGE festival here… It runs for a little over a week, all day and all night. Buses from all over the province stop at the fairground itself, which is just acres and acres of games, rides, food, and dance clubs. We went out on Saturday, saw the parade and then went out with some auxiliares. I didn’t get home until around 4am and everything was still going strong when we left.

That’s just how they do.

I’m not entirely clear on the history of the festival, but the parade was all about the history of Jaén. It started with some Romans, who were followed by the Muslims, who were followed by the Spanish, then Napoleon, and then, apparently, large balloon animals like the catoctopus, billowing things that shoot confetti, and an army of smurfs. At the end of the parade come Saint Lucas himself on horseback in battle with the Lagarto, a dragon that apparently terrorized Jaén in the middle ages and whose skin supposedly hangs in one of the churches.

Anyway, check out the pictures. It was awesome.

Paul & Contessa

Today, something completely different. These are my friends Paul and Contessa, who, after seeing me carry my camera everywhere with me, asked me if I could take some photos of them for their Save the Date cards. We spent some time wandering around Governor’s Island taking photos. With their permission, I’ve posted some of the better ones here. Enjoy!
