Sorry dudes, it seems I'm unable to wear anything else on my toes! This color is just TOO PERFECT.

I proposed my thesis in April, and it was accepted without reservation! Presenting was SO stressful, but I did well and got a lot out of it, and I prepared really thoroughly so I know I'll be able to tackle my oral. PNCA got out for summer break recently, so I took a little breather from thinking about my thesis 24/7. I kept shooting, obviously.



I snagged a kickin' mentor at the very last minute, Wayne Bund! So excited to work with him. As you can see the images are still roughly the same. While I was shooting these I was using an 18-75mm (or something like it) that got me really nice wide shots, but I had to hold it up pretty high over the food, to the extent that sometimes I wasn't able to look in the viewfinder while taking the picture. I've since switched back to my 24mm macro lens, and I think I'll probably use that until I'm done shooting.




The text also got a little larger, and I switched from a 5x7" format to a 4x5". Not really sure why, except my print teacher last semester, Paul Mullowney, mentioned it to me when I was talking about my thesis proposal, and I sort of fell in love with it. Haven't justified it conceptually yet! I'm also still thinking about installation. These last pictures are how I hung it for my final critique; experimenting with thumbtacks a little bit. My friend Petra mentioned suspending them with fishing wire, and I'm getting interested in that idea, although I haven't tried it yet.




So yes! Still thinking about disclosure/exposure, but not sure how to work that into the final pieces. Still really happy with it formally! Just gotta nail down that installation and do a butt-ton of research.

Hi guys! I had coffee with the awesome/inspirational (not to mention a fabulous artist) Petra yesterday and she got me inspired to work on my long-defunct website. After coming up with a new idea thanks to googling/looking at other artist's sites, I whipped this little bad boy up real quick with the help of Lightroom. I'm super pleased with it! Do go check out my website here: hannah o'sullivan dot com.

SE 9th & Powell in Portland. It's kind of my spirit animal.


I ALWAYS get the hashbrowns; their hashbrowns are so good I don't eat them anywhere else. Always crispy and hot, the potatoes aren't too mushy, and they fry them with BUTTER. They ain't shy about the butter. I just got the plain ones 'cause I've been running a little short on dough. Their bacon is always good too; thick cut and cooked to a crisp, but never burned.



They're open 24 hours, and for some reason or another we always end up there at like 4:30 in the afternoon, when it's completely empty but the BEST chef is working. (She has short hair, is a bit older, looks crabby when she's cooking but always smiles when she's talking.)


Max comes with me (it's our spot) and we play seafood. COOL MATURE VOTING/DRINKING AGE ADULTS.

Me and one of my ladiez Emily (aka kittensandskeletons) went to the park for a li'l picnic, but the grass was wet. So we chilled on the asphalt behind the dumpsters. Real talk.



This pic is from my perspective (I turned it over but I like it better upside down??) and then Emily got one of me chillin' on the monkey bars. Growing up SUX. I remember when I used to be able to do monkey bars, and now I have literally no upper body strength. Being a lady!!!

STILL HAPPY AND ADORABLE. I never have any pictures of the brown dog because she literally can't stay still long enough for me to get a decent picture of her face.



LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES AND HIS LITTLE TONGUE AAAHH I LOVE HIM

Simple Blackberry manicure; I'm really into mixing nail polish colors, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the nails and the colors right. Loved this one so much I wore it a WEEK, which is an eon for me. Revlon Make Mine Mango on most fingers, with Zoya Richelle on my thumbs.
