About Me

On the internet I'm Navi. Otherwise I'm Elizabeth. Currently attending MECA and planning to major in ceramics eventually, especially wheel-thrown objects. I'm also an amateur photographer (shooting Olympus) and occasionally I do other silly artsy stuff like painting.

My photography is primarily abandonments, architecture, and graveyards. I like historically significant things. Occasionally I'll do portraits and self-shot pin ups. Photographers are welcome to hire me as a model so long as I at least get a coffee for compensation.

I'm on deviantART as a photographer and model: www.clocktowerestate.deviantart.com

And I sell my photography as prints on Etsy (since dA is extremely expensive): www.clocktowerestate.etsy.com. They're not too expensive so please check them out.

I like urban exploring, mostly state hospitals, state schools, and industry. Other random things I love include The Man in the Iron Mask, Penny Arcade, mediocre pottery, and KMFDM.

My AIM name is Navi Iwakura, feel free to IM me.

My favourite book is House of Leaves and I treat it like a security blanket. Ask me about my House sometime.

My Blog

Knit picks.

I have to say, Portland has some of the bitchinest yarn shops around. Seaport Yarn has those really bizarre obscure things you always thought you'd buy online, like lighted needles and Mission Falls c...

The day of the MZD.

Since I really have no one to gush to about this (either because I don't know many people who are as obsessed with House of Leaves or Only Revolutions as I am, or because I don't know many people who ...

Discouragement.

I've decided today that I'm going to start using this blog as a food diary besides the usual whining. So if you're not too keen on hearing about how many bites of toast I had on any given day, might w...

Can I has teh classes now?

So I've been in Portland for 4 days and we still haven't started classes yet. I am so fucking bored out of my mind. Everything to do around here would cost money and anything that doesn't cost money (...

Don’t kill me yet, MECA.

I hate college. A lot. Sometimes I wonder if it's possible for anyone to hate college as much as I do right now.The pressure is enough to give me anxiety and I haven't even moved yet, never mind class...

The moral of the story.

I've spent way too much time thinking about PCOS lately. I've come to a few conclusions though. I need to stop pretending to be perfect when it comes to my health. Because guess what? I'm not. I can t...

Look beneath the floorboards for the secrets I have hid.

If you dislike depressing and whiny blog posts, I suggest you skip this one. Apparently a majority of the general public are just plain misunderstanding of my photography and why I get so defensive ab...

Model mayhem.

Despite the fact that I quit my job at Dressbarn after only working there for 2 days, apparently they want me to model in an in-store fashion show. Either Linda's insane or desperate to sell some suit...

Do you get the gist of the song now?

So...it's official! I got home from grocery shopping today to find a surprise package from Pantheon sitting on my doorstep and lo and behold, they were wonderful enough to send me a free copy of Only ...

How not to do UE.

Hey kids, it's time to learn another valuable UE type lesson. It may fall under the categories of "why we don't listen to Justin" or "broken glass really is that sharp."We went to Fairfield Hills this...
