KoalaStar Rising:

I’m dead tired because I’ve basically been working non-stop since I got back from San Francisco on Monday morning (at 3am!). I was asked back to ER to do some more body double work for Neela (the Indian doctor on the show). I worked fourteen hours on Monday, twelve and-a-half hours today and I work tomorrow (and probably Thursday and Friday as well). I’ve been having a blast on set, but I will go into more detail about that when I’m not about to pass out. I have to be up at about 4am every day, so I try to go to bed no later than 9pm every night (I feel like I’m ten again, heh).

Anyways, the reason for this quick update is because I wanted to show you all some recent photos from a couple of shoots I did a few weeks ago. Let me know which one(s) you like the best/what you think of them!

Note: As you will see, these were all taken before I got my fabulous cut/color.

How is everyone doing? What’s new?

A friend of mine has been working on this site, Quarterlife for the past couple of months, and I was just informed that people can join it now. It is such a neat site and I think everyone should check it out!

The creators have this to say about it:

Welcome to Quarterlife, A new community for artists, thinkers, and doers –- and a new Internet series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative minds behind “My So-Called Life” and “Blood Diamond.”

Come in, check out the site, set-up a profile, and invite your friends to be a part of this new creative community. And be sure to come back on November 12th to see the premiere of the quarterlife series.

Basically, this is a site geared towards creative-minded people where they can upload their portfolio, videos, music etc. As an aspiring actress, I think this is an excellent way for me to network and meet more people like me. I know there are so many different online communities to belong to nowadays, but if you are a creative person and you want a place to showcase your work and meet like-minded individuals than this is definetly the place for you!

Oh, and feel free to add me HERE if you do end up joining!

I recently got together with my photographer and friend, Joe Lambie, to shoot more photos for my portfolio. We had so much fun together and the photos turned out great. Here are a few to give you an idea of the types of things we were shooting. Enjoy!

I will be posting more photos from the shoot as I get them, so stay tuned

More fun with Photo Booth on my MacBook Pro!

(I wonder if drunk people see things this way…)

I’ve recently discovered that I really enjoy taking pictures. I’m constantly amazed by the photographers I work with and the art they create, and I’d love to learn even an ounce of what they know. I’ve also noticed that I’m usually the one who pulls out a camera and snaps a shot whenever I’m out with my friends. Wouldn’t it be fun to learn the more technical aspects of photography so the candid photos I take look even better?

I’m starting to think that I want to take a photography class. I’ve always been in front of the camera, so I think it would be really neat to be behind the camera for a change. There are some great courses offered at Santa Monica College and UCLA this summer, so if I can find the time I’d really like to take them. I know that I’d need a better camera first, but I’ve been looking on craigslist and you can find some great cameras for dirt cheap there.

What do you think? Do you think it’s silly that I want to try my hand at something new? Or do you think I should go for it?
