It appears that the cyclist that was hit and killed by a Trimet bus in Beaverton yesterday was a sophmore student at ACMA. So sad.


UPDATE:
This announcement from ACMA:
It is with sadness that we report the passing of an ACMA student, Austin Miller. He died at the scene late Monday afternoon as a result of a Tri-Met bus/bicycle accident at the corner of Murray and Farmington Rds.

Austin was a 10th grader involved in theater and film. He attended ACMA for two years. We have additional counseling staff at ACMA today to assist students and staff as they grieve and remember Austin.


Lets all stop and remember that a young life has been lost.
Be safe everyone.

so i have been here for 2 months, and have sent out countless resumes in that time (usually through craigslist, sometimes just walk-ins) and i have only had 3 interviews and no job offers. i have NEVER had trouble getting a job before, and i am just looking for a plain ol' barista job, or something comparable. there are a shitload of coffee places around, i have years and years of coffee experience, but it doesn't seem to matter.

so i have to ask... honestly, is my being from california and new to portland detrimental to my image? are tattoos a problem (i sort of doubt it, i am not entirely inked or anything)? is it just the coffee thing that is hard to break into? i would love to be a server but i have no experience, and every place i've seen requires at least two years. i go to school about 9 hours a week, but aside from that, my schedule is super flexible. in the meantime i am running out of my savings fast. what is my problem???

Ok so a few years back I wanted to start trying to get in front of a camera.  And just as a general disclaimer, its nude art that I'm interested in. I had a friend who wanted to learn to shoot people as opposed to nature, so we experimented. Well, he was shy as well as not terribly interested in this kind of photography and, alas, only one shoot was ever done. It turned out all right. I was generally pleased but was definitely thinking it might be easier working with someone who actually shoots PEOPLE. And knows a bit about studios and lighting and all that fun stuff.

But that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting because I want to get back into it. I am kinda wondering if there are any photographers in the Portland, OR area who wouldn't mind working with someone who is not very experienced but really wants to learn? I'm pretty open to suggestions as well. I'm not going to post any of the pictures from the shoot but if you are interested I'd share just so you can get an idea of what you'd be working with. Or who, rather.

Of course, this may not need to be stated, but I will anyway. I'm not looking to do porn-type stuff. And I don't want these photos to be strewn across the internet/world/etc. In all honesty, I feel a lil strange posting this in DP. I posted in the ArtInNudity community that I'm in, but the closest people were not very close. So email or comment here, either way, let me know! gstovall a gmail dot com

So I am in the market for a new place to live for myself and my 10 year old mellow, fixed, indoor male cat. Yes, I have scoured craigslist.
I am seeking somewhere on the eastside or close to downtown westside, with internet, and with people who are friendly, yet also respect my space and property. I am so tired of living with people who have no respect!
I can pay up to $300 a month, but would prefer less of course. I am employed, I have a car but ride Trimet a lot, I also have a bike that needs some work. I don't have a lot of household furniture other than my bedroom stuff (although if you need some, I could go pull some stuff out of my storage unit). A back yard would be super but not required. Comment here or email me at reverendkate@gmail.com if you have a room, or know of one.
Thank you!

i have gotten 2 bags of free chips now (and no lectures about the one-bag-per rule please) and they are yummy. i can tell you that the Peach/Mango are delicious, the herb garlic are DIVINE, and the tangy tomato is damn good. i didn't care for the farmhouse cheddar.

anyway, you probably have to install the coupon printer, but it's fast and easy.
yea for free chips.

relevance? portlanders love free stuff.
