I’ve kind of kept this on the relative d.l. but on March 18 I am going to France and Italy!!!! I’m finally allowing myself to get excited. I got my new passport in the mail a couple days ago and aside from being disgusted by the horrific color balance on the picture (my face is magenta city), I was overwhelmed with excitement that in just a few weeks I’m going to be wandering the streets of Paris.
This is Snoop Dogg making mashed potatoes with Martha Stewart. It is really awkward.
I’ll be updating and adding more fun stuff to the bloggie-blog today and tomorrow. I’m excited to get this going. There’s a few kinks I need to fix here and there. If anyone reading notices anything weirdo, please let me know!
Thanks!

I’ve already posted this on The Postmodern Cat Lady, another blog I contribute to with some other awesome photographers and ladies.
This is a drawing of a photograph of Gary Busey on tv. I was flipping through the channels at my friend’s house while her kids were running around like psychos being hams for my camera. I did this for a class and in the process found that I really love drawing.
Being a photographer, I get used to the instantaneous nature of shooting. Drawing is the complete opposite of that and has helped me so much as an artist. It forces me to slow down and be a part of every line and smudge I make.
I’ve been working on trying to get the screen attributes just right. There’s a weird pixalization/mosaic thing that goes on especially when, as in the gary busey drawing, the image is in the middle of fading in or out.
This was some show about celebrity near-death experiences. Apparently Gary Busey had one. The image I took was a still photograph of G.B. they had up on the screen, they were telling the story of the crash as a Ken Burns effect was going on over the image. Classic.
This is the very first sentence of the very first post in the very first official Alissa Hunsaker Photography blog. I’ll be posting frequently about projects, jobs, experiences, and random musings I’m sure.
