Playing with my brand spankin’ new lens - I always had some trouble shooting spiders with macro filters, since the extent of my focus would be moving the camera back and forth…now I don’t have to do that anymore!

My new lens came! Zuiko f/2.0 50mm macro lens - the product of my summer savings and financial irresponsibility. I’m so excited right now!!

I’ve been listening to JJ Lin’s “Sha Shou” (Killer) recently. The music video for it is really macabre, almost SAW-esque. This is a little digital painting inspired by the song - work in progress, of course.

Hijackals, little Johnny, and more!

It’d be an understatement to say that mock trial is a crazy bunch. We’re on a whole different level of insanity. Due to procrastination and general laziness, we only recently had our farewell dinner for the past year. We went to Macaroni Grill in Columbia, only to discover that guy messed up Mohammad’s reservations. But disaster was averted and we sat down to eat at a large, weirdly L-shaped table!

We had a pretty awesome waiter and there were huge sheets of paper to draw on! Too bad there were only three colors of crayon. Oh well. Rachael still managed to produce some masterpieces, regardless.

We won’t discuss what Haosi and Elissa ended up drawing….Ahem. But this year’s dinner was a welcome relief from Olive Garden - Ephraim said Olive Garden had some sort of burny firey issue anyway. I don’t know I’ll keep doing mock trial in college, but I know that the three years of mock trial at Hebron were well worth it!

“I’m looking forward to meeting on-the-ball people.”

—My dearest Emily, who realized the absurdity of what she said after our corner of the mock trial dinner table erupted in laughter.
