About
there comes a time in all of our lives where we have to decide to jump,even when we know we can’t swim. that time is now. i’m 22, soon to graduate with a bfa. i don’t know how much i will use that piece of paper, but the things i’ve learned from people and the experiences i have shared with them will probably be enough to help me out in the years to come.
i can’t say i have a career path in mind, or any path for that matter, i just know where my heart lies and for once in my life, i’m just going to go where it tells me.

Monthly Self Portrait Series
This is a project that began quite accidentally, but will continue for the foreseeable duration. Whatever the year is will be the day of the month on which I will take a self-portrait, always in a similar style/location. Starting on the 10th of January, these portraits will be in several different locations, as I will be in transitional living situations.

“Here’s a tip for the fancy category. If you want to really live it up, ask for extra “au jus” the next time you take a date to Arby’s. You will also look like a big man on campus if you tell her that you know the owner, Gary Arby, and that “au jus” means “with it’s own juice” in french, the language of love. Enjoy.”[jef etters tips of the day #034. as recorded by m. olson]

“There is a saying - if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. This saying was obviously coined by a loser who did not succeed the first time. Why would I listen to a loser? I wouldn’t. Therefore, I submit to you a new saying: if at first you don’t succeed, you are a loser and nobody should listen to your sayings. The end.
Enjoy.”[jef etters tips of the day #033. as recorded by m. olson] -
