Introduction: Edmarc Part Deux

My name is Edmarc Hedrick. I'm a fourth-year Radio-Television-Film major with a slew of unofficial minors including English, Journalism (photo), and Mathematics. I'm more interested in marketing & advertising though - and that's what I'll do when I graduate in May. I love technology, but I'm no techie, so I'll work in the industry, but not necessarily understand it all. Everyone says I sold out to corporate America and maybe I did. I'm not ashamed though.

In terms of visual work, I used to be pretty big into photography. I've done both digital and black & white film photography (where I developed my own film in the darkroom!). I put some of my best work onto my flickr account. But as life progressed, I had less and less time to take photos, so in my album, you'll see that I just started uploading pictures from my BlackBerry (the San Francisco pictures).

Here are the top 5 most popular photos on my flickr, some of which I expected and some of which make me wonder what in the world people are searching for on the internet.

1. QB Colt McCoy in the 09-10 football season (when the Longhorns were actually GOOD)

2. WR Jordan Shipley running onto the field with the American flag

3. The smallest puppy in the world

4. The Longhorn football team after crushing Mizzou @ Mizzou

5. Rocking the Furs

This 5th one is so bizzare. I mean, WTF, right?

Anyways, beyond photography, I've also taken Ben Bay's Computer Animation & 3D Modeling course. The work I did in that class is on this blog. I've also got some of that stuff on my youtube channel, where I also uploaded the editing sequences I worked on for my editing classes. Finally, I was kind of into graphic design as well and I did some stuff with that, but I haven't uploaded any of the pieces I've done.

Aside from all this visual communications, I enjoy learning languages, playing board games, going to live shows, eating at restaurants I've never been to before, attending swim meets, watching movies, spectating rugby matches, and listening to a hell of a lot of music.

I'm currently really loving James Blake (post-dubstep), The Foreign Exchange (electronic R&B) and Modeselektor (IDM) and I'm going to see Little Dragon (Swedish R&B) and Robyn (Swedish pop) in the near future.

I'm looking forward to looking at all of your work, guys!
