An Interesting Read

My name is Brandon Craft, I grew up in Wasilla Alaska. Being from a place that is much colder than Oregon, I really enjoy being here, and I like having the option of driving anywhere and seeing new things. Alaska is big and beautiful but no matter what direction you go it’s still Alaska. I am enjoying Oregon and traveling around to the bigger cities. 

I have a motorcycle back home that I cannot wait to ship here. I bought it two years ago here in Oregon and drove it back to Alaska. I have a three year old Rottweiler named Dante who I love and could not bring with me. He seems like a big scary dog but he is a big baby and loves anyone with food. Being in the snow a lot I took up snowboarding and have loved going to new mountains and passes around Oregon.

When I moved here I bought a skateboard to get around and mess around on. I am a huge comic book fan and back home the nearest shop was an two hour drive there and back. This isn’t an issue here, the comic shop is much closer so I can visit it weekly without burning much gas. I love watching movies and tv, going to a movie in theatres is one of my favorite things to do no matter the film. If you have any questions about movies, comics or tv, I probably have a answer.

SP16-P1-About Me

Hello. My name is Jeffery. I was named after Jeffrey Osborne, the musician. Eugene, OR is the city I was born in. My birthday falls on the last day of the Leo.

My career aspirations have transformed over the years. When I was young, I wanted to be stand-up comedian because I felt so much joy making others laugh and smile. After that brief dream, I wanted to be a lawyer, and then a graphic designer. I strayed from my aspirations to work retail management. I’ve been in retail since 2003, and I’ve built many skills during my time there, including communications, sales management, loss prevention among others.

I paid off an old school debt that was holding me back for the better part of a decade. After that, i was able to continue my higher education. I enrolled at Lane Community College, Spring of 2015. My focus was on nursing, and that was a very brief episode in my life. Fall term of 2015, I took three medical classes and one art class. I was hooked. In the Winter, I took all art classes and have never been more happy and focussed. Now I’m focussing on multimedia design.

No it’s not Clooney or Gomer Pyle (duh)…

I’m just a guy who grew up on an old German homestead located in the dusty wheat fields of Eastern Oregon back in the mid-60’s through the mid-80’s. There wasn’t much to do out there except work or read, so I opted to do as much reading as I could. This led to writing, then drawing. I dabbled in some inventing and my sister and I performed the most exquisite puppet shows. Man we were bored, but it was a good time, if only in hindsight.

I met my wife in college and changed my major no less than 6 times (writing, Filmmaking, International Finance and Law, Paralegal Studies, Computer Science, Intelligence Studies). My first job was doing odd jobs for a geriatric farmer, who lived nearby.  That was when I was 10. I worked in the saw mill summers from age 14 and construction during the school year. I’ve been a chef, a professional writer, a paralegal, an insurance underwriter, restaurateur, broom maker, stone cutter, carpenter, Navy Cryptologist and computer security engineer and manager. That’s just what I can remember.

Now I’m embarking on a new mission…a new adventure with my wife of 30 years; to return to our artistic roots. Our only son graduated from film studies at the University of Oregon a few years ago and we hope to improve our skills so that we can work on our own projects as well as those our son might wish to include us on.

Hello my name is Chad VanNatta, I am the one behind the camera, pictured with my daughter Alexandrea. I am attending Lane to transfer to University of Oregon as a Photography major. I have a few years of previous experience but am looking for a greater understanding of the technical aspects of the productions. Also I think that the people we meet and the network we create will fallow us throw our lives. These are important for one person can build a bridge but a large group can do it faster and better.

I enjoy nature and being outside, hiking, fishing, hunting and mountain biking. All these things I do I like to share with my family. I have two daughters Alexandrea and Elizabeth who really enjoy being outside too. They are of the modern age and love the computer, cell phone(for games) and T.V. , but spend plenty of time outside with “dad”. My wife shares some of the same interest but not all the same, that would be dull. I believe that a good photographer is willing to get wet, dirty and get into places that well maybe I shouldn’t say, anyway my name is Chad and it is good to meet you

Hello! My name is Tyler Plummer and I’m a multimedia student at Lane Community College. This will be my second year here at Lane and I’ve had a ton of fun so far going through the program. I like everything that the program offers, from drawing to video production. I love being creative end expressing myself through my art. I want to share my work with others.

My primarily interests are photography, music production, and animation. I started to develop an interest in both photography and music production in high school and those interests have grown greatly since I first started going to Lane. My brother first introduced me to music production and I’ve loved the possibility of creating unique, expressive sounds ever since. The same could be said about photography too.  I aspire become a freelance photographer, or a music producer, artist, in the future. I also wish to get the music certificate at Lane once I’m finished with the multimedia program.

I’m a moderately shy person, but I’m really nice once you get to know me. Outside of creating multimedia work, I enjoy the simple things in life. Some of the things I enjoy to do are playing video games, watching basketball, watching anime and random videos, and being with friends. One other thing I’d like to mention Is that I love birds.

I hope to get along with everyone on this class.

Hello there my name is Joey Hart. I am a LCC student and majoring in Multimedia design.  I have really been all over the place as far as figuring out what I want out of this life.  But now I realize its more important to chase your passion, not the money.  For me I need to express myself creatively, work around other like minded individuals, and cherish every moment of time we have on this earth.  I like to spend any free time I have, digging in bins at second hand stores. I mean  who knows what treasure may be uncovered next?  Photography and adventuring are very important to me, as I aspire to one day travel, advertise, and be able to produce images for companies, as well as myself.  Hiking, biking, exercising is a new found love for me too.  I have spent many years riding the couch, and not getting anywhere.  Yes it took time to realize the benefits of sweating and working out, but once I started to see myself smile for no reason, laugh at nothing, and do whatever it took to sweat again, I was hooked.  On a more serious note, I have a real addiction to burritos.  For the past 6 months, a vegetable burrito has been  a staple in my daily intake.  It started simply with rice and beans, and now has evolved to kale, mushrooms, squash, eggs, broccoli, and much much more.   When I first came across this device of a tortilla, magic happened.  It was a chance to put all amazing ingredients together, wrap it up in a warm blanket, hose down in sauce of my choice (peanut butter, Saracha, mayo and curry powder) and enjoy. Unfortunately my obsession for this classic has got out of hand,  my burritos don’t wrap up by any means.  They have become a slop of steamed veg and rice, layered deeply with an open faced tortilla, lost in all the giblets, served lazily in a large Tupperware container.  But that’s ok, I love the phases of my addiction equally, and am excited to see what the next chapter of burritos can bring.   Basically my daily goal in life, is to live in the moment, never judge, and always create.  If i stick with these simple aspirations, the bigger things of life will fall into place naturally.
