a poem

my good friend jack mallard shared this with me and i just love it to pieces.

"Sauerkraut"

Sometimes the slightest thing
leaves you defenseless
with compassion:
your father's belt,
which has missed a loop,
shampoo bottles
in the windows of condos,
the heavy teen
checking her compact
at the post office. . . .
What prevented me today
from throwing my arms
around the man who sold me
my hotdog? I loved him
without limit, was clubbed
by the absolute preciousness
of his being here, when he gave me
a dollop of sauerkraut on the house
saying, Never forget your veggies, kid.

also, i love this photo that i did not take:

happy mistakes

forever young

i swear i have two rolls of film being developed right now+one being shot. pictures soon. 

i still really love this commercial from the superbowl:

hi.

ok, so i haven't really started on my photo assignment. but here is a photo i took a long time ago that i just found. its from two summers ago when marni and i put my little point and shoot in a ziplock bag and took some underwater pictures. 

don't try this at home, kids.

i signed in today to notice that i have one less follower. i'm sorry. i've been a bad blog to follow lately. mission preparations are going well though, and I have about 9.5 weeks until I'm outta here. i've been brushing up on my espanol, buying very fashionable missionary clothes (ha), studying, and trying to socialize so that my friends don't forget me when i'm gone. 

anyway, i've been a feeling a void in my life of photography related things. not being in school this semester sucks a little bit, because i love learning. i am using this blog post to announce that i have given myself a photography assignment. i think mostly so you guys will hold me to it if i start to slack on it. 

my family just moved to draper, utah. we moved out of our house in west jordan that we lived in for about six years. that happens to be the longest I have ever lived in one house, or one city for that matter, and I feel like I got pretty attached. Now I'm in this new place, with no familiar people, or places, or streets. i've been feeling a little out of place here. SO. i decided the best way to get to know a place is to photograph it. which i why for the next 9.5 weeks or so, I am going to get out and explore and document the people, places, and things that I see in this lovely city. i want it to feel like home before i leave. i will be traveling by foot, bicycle or by scooter, as I recently sold the love of my life, Beulah, my 1989 nissan maxima. RIP, beulah.

thanks for stopping in!

the results

"Dear Sister Morrill:

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Texas McAllen Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 18 months. 

You should report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on Wednesday December 9, 2009. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish language."

I am so happy. McAllen is practically Mexico. Very southern tip of Texas. I love Spanish! And Mexicans! And America! 

--Unfortunately, nobody guessed the location correctly in the last post. So nobody wins any ice cream. Feel free to buy ME some though if you want. My mom posted a video of me opening the call. See it here.

Thanks for checking in!

xoxo

britt

...

well, cyber people, my mission papers are officially in. i should be receiving my call in the next 2-3 weeks. you may now take guesses as to where i will be sent. i will buy you an ice cream if you guess the correct country or u.s. state.

.

(not my image.. found at the google dot com)

i'm hoping for peru, thailand, or north dakota. (can you guess which one i was just kidding about?)

until next time..

beth+marshall=made for each other.

here are just a few pictures from the beth+marshall reception i was lucky enough to be able to shoot in hawaii.

such lovely people, a lovely place, and a lovely celebration.

wisdom

well, everyone.. tomorrow is a day i have been dreading my entire life. i'm having a major surgery done. that's right, i'm getting my wisdom teeth out. i expect to spend most of the weekend laying in bed with a pot of mashed potatoes and watching all of the seasons of seinfield on DVD. if you feel it in your heart, i give you permission to come visit me and bring ice cream, yogurt, or other mushy foods appropriate for people whose teeth of wisdom have been extracted. thanks, y'all.

give a little love

have you ever woken up, dancing out of your bed? it has happened to me twice, and today was one of those two times. i'm not sure why it happened.. life is just good right now, plus my alarm played a good song.  other random things i feel like telling you all:

-i bought a blackberry pearl. why would i buy a new, expensive phone which i will never use half of the features on, when i am going to be on a mission in the next 3-4 months? good question. i have a problem with impulse buying. get over it.

-i am realizing i'm a lot more brave and my pain tolerance is much higher than it was in 1993, which happens to be the last time i had any shots or needles of any type in my body.

-i drove to cedar city on sunday and listened to nothing but noah and the whale the whole way down. my favorite lines from one of their songs is, "what you share with the world is what it keeps of you." man i love that. if you would like to listen to that song, click here.

-i start school tomorrow.

here is a picture that i like from my holga camera.

Birch House

Well, readers.. I have a very exciting announcement. Or at least it is exciting to me. You may even notice that I'm actually typing with capital letters at the beginning of my sentences. That's how excited I am. I am proud to present:

Birch House (this is a link, mom)

Amy Jo Nelson, Brittany Hill, Trent Bates, and I have started a business. Birch House is it's name. It is so much more than a business though. Hopefully it will be a driving force for creativity and do-gooding. Our blog is supporting both photographers that we love, and people in the community who are doing great things.. starting recycling programs, spreading awareness of being active, serving each other, etc.. We want to promote strengthening the community and strengthening ourselves as human beings-- through art and photography. We also do photography for non-profit organizations and help them fundraise and market. We have our first CLIENT. This is the real deal. Be excited too, please!

I will love you forever if you subscribe to our blog, leave us comments, and get out there and create and serve! We live in a beautiful world. Let's be part of the reason that it's so beautiful. Let's get out and see why it's so beautiful. Let's be grateful to live in it. Go forth!

love y'all

creature from the black lagoon

 exhibit A:

for some reason this little guy decided it was a good idea to nestle up in my suitcase on top of all my clothes. after a delirious 15 minutes of half-wittedly (is that a word?) trying to come up with tricks to lure the creature out, i ended up throwing my entire suitcase out the front door hoping that it would be gone when i got up the nerve to check and see. i thought for five minutes about if i really wanted to lift the suitcase or not. what if the thing was waiting for the moment it would be free and could jump on my face and seek revenge? what if it tried to gallop away (yes, gallop. this thing was huge) but in a confused daze ran into my leg? was i really prepared for that monster to be writhing around, touching any part of my body?  i cautiously picked up the- at this point empty- suitcase and found the little guy still latching on with all his might to the bottom of the barren luggage recepticle. i picked up my few belongings which were once in my suitcase from the ground and left the suitcase out in the rain for the night. by the time morning rolled around, i had won the battle. i retrieved my only slightly damp suitcase and happily put my things back in it. i think we can all learn a valuable lesson from this situation: always keep your suitcase zipped. always.

i love hawaii, but i sure don't love all of the hawaiian bugs. nay, monsters.

holga's trip to italy

how many speedos can you spot in the beach picture?

holga's trip to mexico

the only camera i brought to mexico this time around was my trusty little plastic holga. turns out i feel much safer lugging around a 20 dollar camera than i do lugging around a much more expensive one. the pictures turn out wonderfully too. i got my italy film developed, so expect more posting. plus, i am going to hawaii tomorrow for 11 days. i imagine i will take photos. adios!

oh, the places you'll go.

lil' bro graduated high school and is venturing to SUU for school this fall. we were going to take his motorcycle out to the salt flats, but then we got half way and realized it was still so far away, so we turned around and went back to the saltaire. then, when i was uploading the photos to my computer, my hard drive decided to suddenly be full. it's not like it's been warning me for weeks and weeks by having annoying pop ups pop up and say "not enough space on start up disk." no. so then half of my pictures from this day got deleted/ruined. what is the moral of the story? get an external hard drive sometime within the 8 weeks that your computer will warn you to. or just don't go to college.

my lil bro' is a stud though, right?

sorry+an announcement

i have either been playing around with shooting film lately and haven't had money to get them developed, or just enjoying summer and taking slightly less pictures. so sorry for the lack of posting. i just got home from another mexico trip, so i was reminded that i never posted this project. it was my final in my color photography class. i wrote a story and everything. these aren't the final edits i used on the pictures, but i couldn't find them. so deal with the extremely bright reds and enjoy. i think if you are interested, you can click the images to enlarge them and read the story. 

an exciting announcement that has been yet unannounced in blogville: i, brittany morrill, am going on a mission for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. i've been working on my papers and dentist/doctor appointments and should be getting everything submitted pretty soon. either within the next week or two, or the end of august when i'm back from my excursions. so. anyhoo. a lot of excitement lately. hope you're all having the loveliest of summers.

yoga

i took some pictures of bonnie doing yoga poses.

bonnie just got accepted to the yoga teacher training program at pure prana in alexandria. she also hand makes and sells purses, metal clay jewelry, glass beads & bracelets, and yoga bags. when she retires from the air force in five years she is opening up a yoga studio/bookstore/vegetarian cafe/boutique/community. watch out for this lady.. she is going to do a lot of good in the world and it's contagious.

this is the first time she has ever done a headstand in the middle of the room. quite a feat. caught on camera:

home sweet home

after a few months of world travel i am back in the good ol' UT. at least for this week...

here's a picture of the view of fireworks from the bay. i spent the 4th in virginia beach, the happiest place on earth. went to the beach, saw old friends and family i haven't seen in a while, and went to the beach some more. all the ingredients for a great trip.

glad to be back home though. i forget how much i love the mountains every summer,  until i am reunited with them again. here's to a summer goal of playing in the mountains more.

cheers!

the baghdad man.

(photo courtesy of rachel's blog.)

old father morrill is going off to iraq for a year for the second time. he's a pretty cool dad. i had a random memory a while ago of when we were kids, and a lot of times i'd wake up in the morning after my dad had already left for work, but he had left bowls, spoons, and cereal out for us on the table so we wouldn't have to get it when we woke up. being the cereal fanatic that i am, you can imagine the appreciation i felt. i also believe that i caught my "travel bug" from him, and for that i am grateful. i also love that he's always been very supportive of me and the choices that i make in my life. although he wouldn't say this to me outloud, i know that he probably thinks i am a little bit crazy because of a big decision i have recently made (which i will announce later), but he is supportive nonetheless because he knows it's something i have thought about and really feel like i need and want to do. it has been fun hanging out with him the past couple weeks.. we went to philadelphia together and saw the phillies and orioles play, went to the infamous art museum and people watched the Rocky impersonators afterward, and saw the liberty bell and a few other historic sites. he is fun to hang out with, usually has pretty good advice and problem solving tactics, and is always willing to help out his kids. you've gotta love it. be safe in iraq, pops. love you!

weddings

i started a little wedding portfolio/flickr stream initially so my friend beth, (whose wedding i am shooting in august) could show some people some of my work... i figured i'd post it for you all too. there are only a few photos from two weddings on it right now, but i figure i'll add more as i have time and edit some more. see it here. comments, please!

-keeping up with my new walking everywhere lifestyle

-yoga

-read a few great books (recommendations, please)

today's adventures: in black and white

tales from the crypt... kate adventures into an underwater crypt in one of the churches we went to today:

tempestt and i made a cool new friend named lorenzo, who is also a photographer and works at his family owned art store and sells his prints:

went on a gondola ride:

also today: 

-got gelato. twice.

-stumbled upon a cool polynesian choir singing beautiful a capella songs

-watched some pigeons bathe themselves

-ate chinese food for dinner for the second night in a row

-found a quaint little vintage italian postcard shop

-learned how to say hello, thank you, good, and good night in chinese

-bought fruit from a fruit stand

-took a nap

-heard an old man on the street pass gas, louder than i ever thought was possible. twice.

-and enjoyed perfect summer weather

love.

greetings from beautiful venice!

we definitely saved the best for last. so pretty.

i love photography for moments like this:

you can study photography all you want, or have the most creative eye on the planet. but this is a sheer case of being in the right place, at the right time. and i just happened to be in the right place and time to freeze this fraction of a second. pigeons in venice are mad crazy.

as of late:

our perfect weather has come to an end. it has been raining all weekend. we went camping at the cinque terre, which is supposed to be a great beach/hike amazing place. rained. whole time. i did collect some pretty cool rocks and sea glass like a big nerd though. 

class is officially over tomorrow, then we are packing our bags for venice and finishing up on saturday. things i will miss about florence:

-speed walking competitions

-festival del gelato a.k.a doue euro copa con yogurt e pesca

-nubs (our pigeon friend with a deformed foot)

the end.

people watching

i like to people watch. here are some of my favorite people that i watched the other day.

a well-read homeless man:

and a bunch of illegal street vendors running away with their packed up goods when the cops come:

p.s. i saw michelangelo's david today. definitely in my top 5 of italy. sooo beautiful.

in the arms of a gypsy

florence. day 2.

so much love in my heart for this place.

carousel in one of the piazzas:

view from the bridge:

this is our friend:

he owns the greatest paper store ever. tempestt and i stayed and talked to him for about an hour. he made me love paper even more. he showed us how makes "marbled" paper. amazing. his family has been in the paper business since the 1700s.  he told us where the best gelato place in all of europe is. and he gave us some free things. i love small business owners. and you could tell that he is really passionate about what he does. he is even published in a book. rad.

later, i had the brilliant idea to stay here a few weeks longer, become his apprentice, and learn the craft of paper making and book binding. maybe i will run it by him.

until next time...

ariverderci, roma

we arrived in florence today. love it.

this is a cemetery from one of our last days in rome. it was kind of beautiful. 

short post. ciao!

xoxo

brittany

andiamo!

i love rome i love rome i love rome.

more amazing art. i saw raphael's "school of athens." and the freakin' sistine chapel. and some incredible caravaggios. ecstasy of st. theresa. michealangelo's moses. beautiful baroque churches. it doesn't get any better. 

i love going to see all the amazing art. but i love even more getting to meet people and get a taste of the culture. the other day we went to the market again in the morning and met a lot of the locals, and did as the romans do. then we went to the amazing town of tivoli, which included an incredible train ride along the country side, and beautiful fountains and gardens. we've become friends with a man named Rasheed from Bangladesh who owns the grocery store next to our hotel, the Egyptian man who works at the internet cafe, all of our waiters at the restaurant, and made friends at church today. people here are much friendlier than in America.

today, a few of us jimmy rigged a clothesline so we could hand wash our laundry. apparently it's like 15 euro to do laundry at a laundromat. we built a makeshift line out of large sticks, tied them together with plastic bags, and connected them to the balcony. luckily we have a guy on the trip that is like macgyver. i washed my clothes in the (clean) bidet. ha! 

here are some pictures.

huzzah!

i got the pictures to work! 

i seem to have become a collector of dead bird pictures. i'm sorry.

the forum

marcus aurelius loves this politician

cathedral of st. francis

the view from the medici palace at night

two italian lovers at the trevi fountain

today we started learning about the early christians. we saw where constantine is buried, supposedly we saw jesus' crib--although i think a lot of churches claim they have it-- and saw some amazing examples of early christian, byzantine, and baroque churches and artwork. 

i decided i am not coming home this summer. i am staying in italy forever. ariverderci!

xoxo

brittany

that's amore

my photo uploader is having problems. and it is probably because i am at a crappy little internet cafe. but i guess i can still update you in words, right?

amazing things i've seen:

-a few carravaggios (sooooo amazing)

-the pantheon

-column of trajan

-equestrian statue of marcus aurelius

-the vatican

-arch of titus

-chapels of st. francis and st. claire

-st. francis' grave

-michelangelo's grave

-st. clare's grave

-dying gaul

-the forum

-assisi

and i know for a fact that i am forgetting some. our days are jam packed, we are out and about walking from 9 a.m. or earlier until about 2 0r 3 p.m for class, and then usually stay out playing until dinner at 7. i go to bed exhausted every night, which is the best feeling in the world. my roommate and i went for a run this morning to the vatican, and then went to the market in the city that they have every morning and bought fresh fruit and nuts. i am already picking up on some more italian phrases and i can even understand some people when they talk to me. italian is pretty similar to spanish. 

gelato is the best thing of my life. i think if we weren't walking so much every day i would be coming home a least 10 pounds heavier. nutella is also the best thing ever. as well as cheese. i never thought i would be one of those people that can just eat plain cheese, but i am becoming a cheese lover. 

i feel like i will never catch up with all the pictures i am taking, but if i ever get a good ish internet connection i will try to post them.

ok. that is all. ti amo!

when in rome...

greetings from bella italia! i have been here for two days and am loving it already. 

a- i have never felt so attractive in my life. i love italian men.

b- holy art. we walked off of the metro today and right outside was the colosseum. i would be lying if i said i didn't get teary eyed. it is so beautiful.

c- i love gelato.

d- i walked about 15 miles today and it didn't seem bad at all because it's so amazing.

e- a few of us ran into the italian movie awards and snapped pictures of italian celebrities on the red carpet

f- the view from our balcony is amazing. we see the sunset over st. peter's basilica and then the full moon comes up. 

i don't love:

-being jetlagged

-small squishy slow elevator

i learned how to say:

posso fare una foto di lei?

and:

presto!

miss you all.

summertime, when the livin's easy.

summer adventures begin today. i'm off to VA to hang with my dad, then to Rome on wednesday. followed by Florence and Venice, then Tempestt and i are going to Ljubljana (slovenia) and Split (croatia). then back to DC for about three weeks. if you want to reach me I will have my computer. e-mail me! miss you already...

spring cleaning

just realized i never really posted about this project.

it was a mobile i made on ortho lith paper, which is a darkroom transparency. i feel like you don't get the full effect of the 3D-ness from this photo of it. sorry.

this is a piece about fleetingness. it's about how people come and go in your life all the time. things change. we move, we grow up, we change, others change, we make mistakes, our hearts get broken,  people pass away, we get new opportunities, and the list goes on. there's not a lot about life that is steady. it's scary and uncertain and.. fleeting. BUT. i am the firmest believer that it is also beautiful. and there is so much learning and growing and improvement that happens because of change. and sure, we are careful about who or what we give the little pieces of ourselves to, because it might not last or be good always. but i feel like the times that are good, are enough reason alone to put your whole heart into everything. whether it's a new friend, a new job opportunity, a new relationship, a new stage in your life, or anything else. live for the good times, and learn from the bad times. and like the song by noah and the whale says: "all is fleeting.. yeah, but all is good." if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own.

jared and lindsay

holy cutest couple and family ever. amy jo and i didn't think it was possible to cry at a complete stranger's wedding, but alas, it is. they were a blast to hang out with all day. will post more.

sneak peak

this is a sneak peak of the spread i'm working on for my final project in a class. pictures taken in mexico. i even wrote a story. big thanks to my friend kelsie rowley/monsen for helping me with a layout. 

pobre pajaro: caution--kind of graphic

if i had a nickel for every dead bird i've taken pictures of...

this poor little guy was discovered in our covered patio. we might have a funeral for him.

wheelchair lady

have you provoans seen this wheelchair lady around town? she is nice... i try to talk to her any time i see her. it's hard to get a photo of her, because she thinks that photographs steal your soul. so i went for the sneak attack. this image is straight outta my holga camera. happy blog surfing to you all!

acceptance

Dear Brittany:

Thank you for applying for the Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) program in the Art and Visual Communication Department. On behalf of the department, I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the BFA with Photography as the emphasis program.

Feedback from the BFA Portfolio Review panelists is "The work submitted shows a strong use of mixed media processes. The mixed media work is the strongest and the most consistent in both technical and conceptual application. The work leans more to a fine art vision. The analog/alternative process work is more consistent in vision, subject matter, and blend of process with subject. We hop you will continue to develop these attributes of your work."

I strongly recommend that you make an appointment with me to be advised on the courses for your degree. As a BFA student, you are responsible for establishing a meeting at the end of every semester with your coordinator to review your course work and progress in the degree. As a BFA major with an emphasis in Photography, your coordinator is Simon Blundell. You will also need to meet with your coordinator at the beginning of your senior year before starting ART 4990 Senior Studio and ART 4991 BFA Project.

Again, congratulations, we look forward to having you in the degree. If you have any questions regarding the degree, please feel free to contact Simon Blundell at 801-863-6491 and simonb@uvu.edu or me at 801-863-6412 and allisra@uvu.edu.

estoy aqui

i had a great trip in mexico. i sure do love those kids. will post more later...

hmm

i've playing with blending and textures and such. i realize that it's far from being pristine or fine art yet. but it's just fun to play. kinda sad that photoshop creates the double exposure look so effortlessly. it's sure not as fun as doing it with film though. let's see adobe come up with a way to fix that.

i am off to mexico on thursday to play with some wonderful children, brush up on my espanol, meet new people, and soak up the sun. i will have pictures, i promise. until then...

captain's log:

i love road trips. made new friends, made friends into even better friends, laughed a ton, drove a ton, saw the sunrise every day, walked about four miles around the golden gate bridge, walked up endless stairs on mountains, mozied around edward weston's home, saw a lot of nudes, ate a butt load of fast food, witnessed some amazing prints at photo galleries, had a funny encounter with a spider, fell into a body of water on a cold day, told secrets, played lots of "would you rather," didn't sleep much at all, and laughed some more. 

i probably won't post as much for a while. finals are coming up soonish and i'm going to be bizzay. take luck!

spring break!

i'm headed out to sunny california in the mornin'. i feel bad for all my byu friends who do not get a spring break.

psyche! have fun sitting in class while i am soaking in the rays. suckers.

pictures to come.

whew!

i have been slaving away on my BFA application/portfolio all week and i am finally finished. feels good. i'll let y'all know when the results are in. 

in other news: i think i am going to try and produce more images like these:

 i know i said this in my last post, but god bless those little plastic holga cameras. and cross processed film. i had a lot of fun with this.

critical mass

god bless those little plastic holga cameras.

arts and crafts time

my current journal is slowly coming to it's end, and to deal with the pains of parting with it, i decided to make my new one spectacular so i had something to look forward to.

do you guys get attached to your journals like i do? i talk to it like it's my friend, bring it with me everywhere i go, and am constantly referring to it for it's previous thoughts and words of wisdom. if i go a day without consulting journal, i feel like there's a void in my day. i put everything in it, from recipes to doodles, from newspaper clippings to photo test strips, from fortunes from fortune cookies to pieces of lint that are in cool shapes. every time i fill one up and have to buy a new one i feel like i'm losing an old friend. but also am excited to make a new one. 

are you all particular about your journals? like lines or no lines, leather covers or paper covers, thick vs. thin paper, plain or decorative.. how often do you write in them? do you write in your journal as if there is an audience, or just for yourself? do you even have a journal? i ask, because i have been doing a lot of reading and researching on journals lately, especially journals of thinkers.. like writers and scientists and artists.. and am writing a paper on it in my art history class. so if you would like to share with me your thoughts on journals, even if you are not a scientist or writer or artist, please do. 

happy blog surfing to you.
