I came across this trailer for a new documentary about the surreal artist couple Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor. Besides being successful and creating gorgeous images in their own distinct style, I find the two of them so fascinating as they are a working artist couple who are different enough to be uncompetitive yet similar...
Been working on a website for my lovely amiga Sara Moskovitz, owner of Portland fashion label Tonchi. The site is almost done and is looking so dope!!! So stay tuned for that… In the meantime, I took the opportunity to do a little remix of her upcoming lookbook, mixing and mashing it up in my...
Welcome to my very first ever shot at After Effects! (I’ve since gotten a lot better…) As is apparent after watching it, I made this video in 2010 for a class project. As is apparent after hearing it, I very poorly recorded the song a couple years before that, probably in 2008. After doing some...
Just finished up a wedding video for the adorable Ali and George who had their quintessential wedding at McMenamin’s Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, Oregon. It was so much film to film and so much fun to edit!! Seriously.. I’m not kidding… I actually like editing.. especially when I got to use this awesome Lumineer’s...
I read about this artist Onuinu a couple times in the Mercury (or maybe it was Willamette Week? same difference I suppose) and looked him up and now have his video/song Ice Palace on repeat. It has totally grown on me. At first I was like, hmm.. yea.. pretty good.. and now I’m like.. YES.....
*UPDATE! 1.10.13* We did it!! 93 Backers donated $2,619. The bench takes a little while to put in and requires dry weather so we should be able to sit comfortably at Two Plum in April. The Oregonian did a nice little write up on our success too… *UPDATE! 12.6.12* Kickstarter page is up!! Visit HERE...
Finally!! After so much waiting, I finally had my big cookbook project printed. “Lumi’s Kitchen: Rustic Romanian Recipes for Everyday Cooking” was a labor of love last spring. I did all the photography, book layout, design, and even a ton of recipe editing. (That’s a first for me!!) The book was supposed to be a...
Just got back from another 10 day excursion to NYC, Rhode Island and Boston… Spent my days in NY hanging at my awesome hotel, The Out NYC, hanging with my awesome sister, Tara del Aqua, and of course, shopping… Tara and her lovers… Central Park loveliness..
Rhode Island was full of stormy seas, dead animals, my grandma and hookah bars… Neon tights from NYC’s chinatown made for toasty Rhode Island legs… My sister plays cello too… Cool old cemetery… The sun finally came out…
My sister and I make it a tradition to take my grandma to a hookah bar every time we are together.. makes for a lot of fun and lots of fun photos…
Been hard at work on redesigning a website for the incredible Ecdysiast, a pole dance studio in Portland, Oregon. This place is so amazing and they have recitals that are open to the public very frequently so check them out!! Find more pole dance love on my website, and on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube…
I would say I’m pretty into socks. And I would also say I’m pretty into coloring contests. So I was so extra excited when I saw that Portland’s very own crazy sock manufacturer and store, Sock it to Me, was having a Design a Sock Contest!! I won an Easter bunny coloring contest when I...
