Slender Man.

     I wish this was Halloween...cause this is some freaky crap. I was just taking some pictures with my friend Michael Erickson...and...well you can just see for yourself:

Composition.

     I have a question for you: what do you notice about these pictures? What makes them make you feel what you feel? If you feel anything at all?

Halloween is Adorable.

The title is misleading. I hate Halloween and the holiday is by far not adorable, however the babies and young ones in costumes are adorable. The most adorable are by far my nieces and nephew. Here are the tear-jerking-aww-inducing pictures:

I love being an uncle :)

Beard.

     I grew a beard.
     Then I shaved it off.
     I took pictures of it:

I was in a bathroom.

I had a camera.

I had a mirror.

I had to take a duck-face-bathroom-mirror-camera-in-hand picture:

Now time for the weird rant:

     I am so glad I grew a beard. Sounds weird, but whatever. It was probably the only time I could (depending on whether or not my wife likes beards) so I said YOLO quietly to myself and didn't pick up the razor one morning. 

     Having this beard taught me a lot of things which I will present to you in LIST FORM*!:

1. I got my food 30% faster in most restaurants.

2. I was feared 20% more.

3. I was asked the question, "CAN I FEEL YOUR BEARD?!" 8 times.

4. I had my beard felt without warning 5 times.

5. Beards increase face temperature by a factor of two.

6. Beards increase face itchiness by a factor of seven-hundred thousand.

7. Beards reduce facial perception by a factor of four.

8. MY BEARD IS RED?!?!

9. I was asked if I knew if my beard was red 10 times.

10. I was asked why my beard was red 25 times.

     Something I couldn't quite figure out was why a lot of people feared I had gone off the deep end. A lot of people would give me worried looks when they saw my beard and ask me if everything was alright. It was a little confusing.

     So there is my random post for the week.

     Hope you enjoyed it :) if not...oh well.

*Facts listed in List are approximate. Levi didn't really care much about exact numbers during his beard-growing period. Instead this list reflects how much Levi noticed certain things that happened while he had his beard.

Concert Night.

     I went to see my friends perform in the Madrigal's Columbus Day Concert. They did so good! The whole program was really well done and nice to watch. Here are some pictures from the concert and from after the concert:

 NATALIE ANGRY!

Silly Tessa. You can't escape me!

Turtle, Turtle.

This kids, is why it is fun to take a photography class:

My Job is Better Than Your Job

     I don't mean to sound braggy...but it is true. My job is the most superior job there is.

     Now before I go into detail as to why my job is the best, I think it is appropriate to tell you what my job entails.

     On Mondays I wake up and get to go to college. I do this Monday through Friday. On Tuesdays I go and mow my neighbors lawn. On Mondays and Wednesdays (sometimes Wednesdays and Fridays) I go to BioLife and donate plasma. On Fridays I get to teach my wonderful students (I have four right now). On Saturdays I have a cleaning job for one of my neighbors. Spread throughout all that different time I have two other jobs that crop up sporadically throughout the week. I take people's pictures (if you want to see some of my work/see my specific prices or services go here) and I also accompany people/fulfill their musical needs (whether they need a performer or an accompanist or a composer).

     Not only do all of these things bring income, but they also bring me a lot of happiness.

     Through these different jobs I have acquired knowledge (college is fantastic btw [I highly recommend it]), friendships, inspiration and a great deal of satisfaction.

     I do what I love and in turn I love what I do.

But in reality I am still pretty poor...bahahahahahahaha!
