Splash!!! Part 2 - Watering Can





Just another theory, but I was willing to try this..... As I contorted the camera in my left hand, I thrust the watering full of water in my opposing hand then took a picture. Shockingly, several actually came out; I now officially love Fujifilm!!!

Splash!!!!!









I was taking pics around the yard yesterday, than I thought it would be cool to take a picture of a splash. So, I decide to throw rocks in water while trying to capture the moment. I was surprised how well it worked!!! Looks like our rocks have a purpose now (besides sitting around our yard :D)

Sakura Drops Video Released!

And finally the vid arrives one day late! I just couldn't find it in myself to shoot it on friday and after agonizing over the editing, it's finally on youtube! Click the link to my homepage below to watch my new vid! Thanks!! :D

I tried to upload this to my youtube user (balloonfanatic76) , but the song was copyrighted. Anyway, here's the video I've been trying to post for months.... hope you like! :D

Photoshop Project!


This spring, I was taking Photoshop and we stumbled across a little problem- we had covered all the material! So the last week before the final we spent time creating our own independent project. I decided to use this cool fish picture I found online to use for another project or something. I made the original pic the background and then applied different filters and effects to the little tiled images and overlayed them on top of the original. It took a little while, but it came out great... well, at least I love it! :D

Poppy Photoshoot








Our California poppies always come back every year in droves, and since I figured out the macro mode (close up mode) on the camera, I can get closer to objects without the blurriness. So, here are some recent pics I took of our poppies in the garden; hope you enjoy! :D

Upcoming Video - Sakura Drops


I've already began to play around with music videos, so I am going to try another. Tomorrow's my last day of school, so I get out early (and hopefully that gives me enough time to shoot and edit) If all goes according to plan, Sakura Drops should be released tomorrow night (fri. 29th). Check back to watch the vid; I'm really trying to get more professional and improve my skills since this is what I want to do.  The song I'm making the video to is by Utada Hikaru on her album Deep River. It's an awesome track if you want to search for it online - that is if you don't mind Japanese! :D The album cover is shown above.

Sparkle Music Video


I have tried my hand at producing several music videos, but none turned out as great as my video for Ayumi Hamasaki's 'Sparkle.' Editing took about two hours, but that's only because Microsoft programs suck and Windows Movie Maker kept on freezing.....If our computer weren't so new, I don't think it would be with us today...

Black Eyed Peas - The E.n.d

I am super exited for the peas latest release due in 2 weeks! So far, they've released three singles (which are super hot) so I can only guess that the full album will be even better! Plus, I get to annoy my mom with Boom Boom Pow (giggles :D)

Single Ladies! (Put a Ring on it - or Jiggle!) - Video


Haha I have my first video! My videos feature balloons who usually, try to kill each other and take over the world or something. I know you may think it's crazy, but they are fun and entertaining! Please watch and enjoy

The World Famous Raptorkeet!

This is the result of a project we had to do in Photoshop, take the head of an animal and place it on the body of another animal. This was really fun to do and best yet, I took the original pics! I'm so proud of myself, however I still suck at the quick selection tool on photoshop...

Album of the Year!

Ayumi Hamasaki: Next Level

I was browsing the Japan itunes store when I came across this album in the new releases. I previewed it and instantly loved it.  I first downloaded the album illegally (don't eat me) and finally bought it. The version I got came with two cds and a dvd! The dvd includes six music videos (all of which are awesome) and the second cd is a live cd of her at some music show or festival. My fave track is Rule, which is just amazing. I highly recommend you check this album out, and also if you want to purchase any import cd try ebay first because it is substantially cheaper than cd sites. I saved $20 by buying on ebay!

Welcome to Attack of the Blog!

This is my first time blogging before, so this will take a little getting used to for me.  I will definitely be adding things of interest (i.e. music etc) and also my photos. I've been told I'm a pretty good photographer, so I'm giving it a shot. I also produce videos, which I will also be posting links and such. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this blog!
