My FYASO submission.

My Fuck Yeah Art Student Owl submission, I should do more.

True story too, after just meeting someone for the first time and they came in and saw some of my work on the wall.

I have a tumblr too.

The Skyline off my back porch.


Just a quickie, this was the skyline from my back porch a couple of days ago.

Brieisms.

I’ve recently started a twitter account for my sister and her crazy antics.

twitter.com/brieisms

Mostly quotes and brieisms.(Expressions with their meaning changed by adding brie to the term EX Brietard:Someone smart saying or doing something really stupid)

Server Prayer.

I am a node of server
born of flesh and blood
but enhanced by the power of its web
I have no use for pain or fear
My scripts are a focus of my will
My strength is my knowledge
My weapons are my skills
Information is the blood of my body
I am part of the greater network
I am host to the vast data of server
My flesh is weak
but my connection is eternal
and therefore, I am a god.

Fall trip to Fort Collins with the Family


September 2011 we had a small trip to visit some friends up in Fort Collins, CO. A little road trip with my Sister, her husband and their two year Skyla(who was surprisingly well behaved for a two yearer).

“Brie offers Skyla a bite off a candybar.”

We stayed for two nights out at a campsite just outside of Fort Collins, went on a couple hikes and had an epic bonfire.

“Large pano of the trail we hiked.”

“From left to right – Andy, Brie, Skyla, Becky, Logan”

A long walk.

So I went for a fairly long walk the other day and got to thinking about what to do with this site. The Pretty picture thing every once and a while has been nice but I want to switch focus quite a bit. There will still be the pretty pictures but a lot more commentary on them and a lot more about my life because some may find it semi-interesting or actually interesting.

I’m into a lot of outdoor ventures and that’s mainly what I’ll be focusing on. Along with my random musings and a few of my art projects.

“Self improvement is masturbation.” And it feels sooo good. I’ve been trying to get in better shape and loose a bunch of weight this year. I’ve made some good progress, mainly through diet control. At the beginning of 2011 I weighed 245 lbs, on December 26th I’m down to 195 lbs. I’m not stopping their either, I’m trying to get into the best shape of my life during 2012 and so far I’m well on my way to achieving that.

I’ll be starting my open water certification for scuba diving in the spring and a nice long hike planned. You’ll see more kit reviews, hikes, etc. throughout next year.

You know you are a camera newb when…

You know you are a camera newb when a preview image still pops up on the back of your LCD every time you shoot.

You know you are a camera newb when…

You know you are a camera newb when you’re still shooting in JPEG’s.

(Yes, JPEGs have a purpose but if you don’t know what that purpose is you’re better of with raw.)

You know you are a camera newb when your camera still beeps when you get focus.
