My Pokémon LoFi Wanderlust Content

I created a whole bunch of LoFi content with Pokémon Go AR+ Go Snapshot content!

I focused a lot on Spring Sakura Cherry Blossoms, including while I was in Florida last year.

Here's a Video Project I made from footage I shot THE EXACT same time I shot my Pokémon content:

 

Here's the Pokémon Go Sakura Videos:

 

Here's some of my Autumn Content:

 Summer Content:

 

And, here's a recent Video:

Anyways, I am an avid Pokémon Go Player. I'm currently ALMOST at Level 45. 1 of my favorite parts of this game is that I can go outside, walk around, play, and the world is my game.

 

 

Spring Sakura Mori Identity Portarait [Digital Media UMASS Boston]

I am taking the Digital Media class at UMASS Boston with a really great instructor, Cat Mazza.

The requirements were that at least 1 layer MUST be a scan.

It's multiple layers of my photography, lots of my old tricks I learned from working at Top Cow/Image Comics.

I also ended up doing a demo on my styles, and how it works. But, we ran out of time.

Here's mine project:

Cha Dao -- Gungfu Cha

Cha Dao (The Tao of Tea or The Way of Tea) AKA Gunfu Cha, AKA Tea Culture

If you look up Cha Dao or tea Culture you will find many many kinds of this cultural art that's even to a science from China. It's very ancient, and even has Zen styles (called "chan" in Chinese).

My brother-in-law came to visit in May/June this year, and our family in China asked us if there were anything/ any things we wanted. We always want tea stuff. But, this year, we wanted the real high quality Cha Dao AKA Gungfu Cha stuff. there's many many styles of this, which range town to town, city to city, province to province, and many different age groups even preform this differently, or social status people. My brother-in-law, Mr. Zhang (Zhang Weifu), was something of a connoisseur in this art. However, many tea masters have their own ideologies and styles. He had his style and he was teaching me his way.

We specifically asked our family for the style of this tea culture that is the tray table style. This was very important to us, because we didn't want to pour everything outside, but inside, and without the tray table kind, a regular tray will easily fill up with water because you're supposed to "xi-xi cha" (wash the tea) in a ritualized protocol.

We also got another Gungfu Cha set, but this was the one we're using.

We did the majority of this stuff in May-June while the weather was actually very cold here this year even in early July, until mid July when we got struck with a heat wave that is only now starting to dissipate slightly.

A common thread among Gypsets is the openness to many kinds of cultural and worldly cultures, and items, as well as different time periods. Gypsets are actually NOT all white women, which is bunk. Anyone can be a Gypset, usually its women, but I see no problem with calling a man this if he so wishes. Many Gypsets are ethnic mixed themselves (like myself).

So, some of my photos here are a bit artistic.

Sakura Boho Chic Mori Girl Gypset in New England [Blue] 001

Here's a set I did a few years ago. I was incredibly sick in these, and also had surgery on my sinus, and my throat having my tonsils removed due to chronic infections.

I had a deviated septum in my sinuses, and I lost most of my sense of smell for weeks, then some sections of my sense of smell range ended. But, I have it all back now, and NO I DO NOT USE COCAINE, NOR HAVE I EVER.

 I think the deviated septum happened after my daughter was born and I got rear-ended by a car and pushed into 3 other cars, which caused the airbag to open. I had nasal pain really bad for months, and my nose is still ever so slightly crooked.

Anyways, Almost everything I'm wearing in this set was from JCPenny which was my ex-job.

the silver Tribal earrings were from JCP, so is the Boho Chic cardigan, the cow-neck blue top, and the infinity scarf.

The earrings were a gift from my baby brother whom live in NJ w/his family.

The silver tribal beads were from my step mother, Libby.

And this eye shadow makeup is from the NAKED3 palette by Urban Decay which is one of my favorite brands EVER!

This set was INCREDIBLY COLD, and my eyes watered in the shot from the wind stinging my eyes. I was also so impoverished, and so malnourished that my hair thinned.

I've been trying to recover much of the thinned hair since this time period. I've gotten it a little better, but still thin in the front.

Spring Mori Girl of the [Purple] Violets 008

Believe it or not, these were shot on the sidewalk of my neighborhood! No, I'm not kidding!
Sometimes, some of the best compositions I get in a photo were shot on a strange location that if you were there you'd never have known something like this could be happening, let alone look so beautiful.

Along the sidewalk, there's a patch of grass that springs up purple violets in mid spring. You can;t see it, but her lower body is hanging out, over the curb, into the street.

It took a bit of coaxing to get her to pose since she was already tuckered out from being in South Field with me. Even tho' we're practically next to South Field, it's still a long walk along the sidewalks.

I've many times taken several photos in parking lots, sidewalks, and even by dumpsters that turned out looking nothing like what you would expect. So, when people ask me, where some of my locations are, and I tell them something like, along the sidewalk, in a parking lot, or by a dumpster, they think I'm toying with them, or guarding some secret. I'm not.

In case you haven;t been following this series of photos, yes, this is my daughter. This was shot in 2010, South Weymouth Mass. South Shore Greater Boston, New England (USA)
No, these are not real SLR photos. I shot them on my old digital CANON Power Shot. I STILL love this lil' camera! I LOVE CANON!
