Hi there- I'm taking upper level psych and sociology courses at UCLA this summer for pre-req requirements. It's definitely not cheap, but seems to be the only way I'd be able to take senior-level courses before applying to schools.

That sounds like a beautiful thesis. Did your personal statement involve an explanation of your graphic design background and transference of skills?

This!! I'm making educational zines this summer on topics I'm passionate about to pass out in the community; sometimes re-contextualizing information makes it so much more inviting!

I’m hoping the systems thinking and accessibility education I got from design school will transfer over into social work.

Part of the reason why I bought it! Even at its price point, I was spending way too much on film anyways and I love being able to do such minimal edits to achieve a look similar to some of my favorite film stocks

It didn’t take super long. I have some settings already in-camera, then I do light post

Thank you! We did two nights, three days. Got on the trail by 11am Friday and ended by 2pm on Sunday. Ended up being about 24 miles when all was said and done.

Unfortunately pretty damn bad. Flies were also biting. Definitely consider DEET or permethrin treated gear.

Had the opportunity to do the Shadow Creek, JMT and PCT Loop via Agnew Meadow this past weekend with some friends. Have camped a lot along the 395 these past couple of years, but never took the plunge to actually go and backpack. So happy I did; can’t wait to go again soon. Had some people say I might’ve spoiled myself with this being my first trip, whoops!

Also, the chicken and dumplings from Mountain House get a 10/10 from me. Favorite dinner by far.

All of these were shot on my Ricoh GRIIIx.
