Gingerbread Houses!
Christmas... in February? Better late than never! Here are some images of the gingerbread house I made this year. My family goes all out- I was raised decorating gingerbread houses, and each year gets more and more ornate. This year I created my own little red and green Ski Chalet. Wish I could actually move into it in the Swiss Alps! Enjoy!
Thanksgiving Perspectives
I committed a photographic faux-pas and neglected to ever retrieve the following images from a memory card. I found said images this morning, and was so excited when I did. I feel like these images capture the spirit of autumn; the crisp breeze and leaves, the changes in the air, the colors... Enjoy!
Crunchy leaves scattered on the grass.
I love the combinationw of the warm browns against the bright blue sky in this image.

Mora Mora @ GZ for Dance Marathon!
A few weeks ago, Trojan Dance Marathon had a concert/ mini-dance marathon at Ground Zero, a coffee shop (and phenomenal milkshake place) here on campus. Not only is the fare great-- the music is too! Mora Mora and Bear Attack played that night; unfortunately I had class during Bear Attack's set, but I did see them this past Friday- pictures coming soon :)
Check out Mora Mora below! I love the lighting and energy in these pictures; Matias and his band are so high-energy and extremely talented!
Love the shots of the crowd.
Be sure to check out Trojan Dance Marathon, benefitting the children's hospital of Los Angeles! February 23rd- mark your calendars!

Lee Skylar @ USC
Lee Skylar is perhaps the most recorded and toured bassist of all time. He came to visit the USC Thornton Popular Music Program at Pop Forum on a Friday in January. As some of you know, I photograph for the Pop Program and love capturing the moments between the students and industry professionals they bring in.
As my friend Brett wrote on the USC Thornton Pop Blog, "Lee Skylar was Flippin' Awesome!"

LA Sky Perspectives
I went exploring in Los Angeles last weekend to shoot a project for my photography class. Here are two of the images I loved.
Photographically yours,
Kylie
I love the light and symmetry in this one; it ended up being a commentary on Los Angeles industrialism. Whenever I shot the sky or its reflection in a puddle, there was a powerline in the image. So I did what I do best and made it into art!
Fun fact: this next image is completely the reflection in the puddle!

Young Guru @ USC
Hello lovely readers!
As some of you may know, I photograph for the Thornton Popular Music Program. Every Friday an industry professional comes to speak to the Popular Music students. Last Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Young Guru speak to the students.
There are certain guests that I can't help but feel inspired from-- and Young Guru was one of them. Wise beyond his years, Young Guru related his story of growing up, building his own engineering equipment, and working hard to make his dreams come true. He spoke candidly about his experiences in the business and with other people. Some of his wisdom:
It's not a conceited thing; my mother raised me to believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I don't care how long it takes-- if I decide I want to do something I will work to learn until I know how to do it. I could spend four years studying how to build a rocket, but I would eventually build one.
"The worst thing to do is become popular or famous without being the real you-- because then you just have to keep up the lie"
"It's all about the emotion once you get the technique; the emotion you evoke in your audience"
"Life already started. Don't wait until you get out of college to do what you want to do- do it now."
Young Guru was so humble, exuding such wisdom, bowing as the audience erupted in applause at the end.
This one's my favorite-- such candid joy! :)
I love my job.

Staying humble, Young exclaimed "I have to get a picture with Patrice Rushen!!" or else his mom would be angry with him. Such an honor to be in the presence of both Young and Patrice!
This one's my favorite-- such candid joy! :)
I love my job.
