Yet another photo album with pictures from my bike ride to Walden Pond.

I found some time to create a PhotoStack for my somewhat unmanageable photo collection of friends and travels. Now I've just put up a few albums of sight-seeing from this summer in Japan.

Just updated my Resume to include my current internship in Japan. It's pretty fast paced over here, and my work with KMDW is going to be pretty fruitful. I especially like the last competition entry we did for a hotel facade design in Sapporo, where I got to do a bunch of my own rendering and such.

The Blossom House has finally been added, along with the first public showing of my coursework. Any critique is definitely welcome.

All righty, back to the web. The Drawings tab finally has some content, and I added another photo album with images of my trip through Nebraska. Now I'm even in the process of publishing a few of my Architecture projects. It's about time, methinks.

The first half of term was a bit more busy than I thought, so I haven't made much progress on my portfolio. On the bright side, I think I at least produced some portfolio-worthy work during my last studio project. Oh, and it looks like my internship in Tokyo with Kobayashi Maki Design Workshop is going to happen this summer - exciting!

I managed to put together a couple albums in the Photos section. The hard part was figuring out how to make it an expedient process. I can make this site as pretty as I want, but there's no way I'm going to keep it up if posting a page of photos takes more than 10 minutes.

Well, Independent Activities Period is over, and I'm back to being swamped with various work soon enough. I'll still make attempts to update the site, especially with examples of Architecture work. In particular, I hope to post my submission for the Velux design competition, a theoretical guesthouse utilizing natural daylight strategies. If it stops raining in Boston, maybe I'll actually be able to take my model outside and document it with sunlight.

In what may be just a fleeting moment of ambition and surplus free time, I've managed to bang together the skeleton of a web-site. I'll hopefully adorn this place with substantial content as time allows.

In the mean time, I'm just tickled that jamesira.com wasn't taken.
