Late to Print

Spring break is over and I am back in class. 

I have been very slack recently because some things that have been in my way. My family problem, and being really lazy. My lack of taking photographs has caught up with me and now I am quietly, in my head, crying. 

Photography is a tough thing to do. I know for a fact if you don't make it work, then you fail. In this industry, perfection has always have to meet of course their will always have something wrong with it. For me, I guess, I find it that doing all the wrong things will make it right. I mean as in photography. Doing wrong things in other places wouldn't make it a right. 

So I'm awaiting to be critique by my teacher to see how horrible and irresponsible I am.

Last Mintue Touches

This is the first time I didn't finish before the due date. Well now I'm playing it. It is kicking my butt and I'm well deserved to be punished for my slackness.

I know I'm going to hate it but I guess I need to be more aware of what I need to do. I hope that I will wake up relly early and get this project done. I do hope it will make me really happy in the end ad time to be extra sicked about this next one.

A Tad Bit Better

Friday morning. Not that much students are their to work but I was there with the rest of the workers photographing selected pieces for 340 High Street. I was watching how my teacher took the pictures, well aware of his surroundings, checked his photographs each time, tweak it until it was just right. He squinted a lot and arrange the look until it was perfect. I was really surprised how we would handle it because I never seen him take photographs before. The experience being in a studio was overwhelming and I wanted to say a lot of things but I was too afraid.

Break time came along and the 3 talked a lot. I found myself quiet and listening contently. I wanted to break out and say something, and I did at the end. It was I guess weird to eat with teachers who is seriously older then I am. Then I thought, how lucky of an opportunity to sit with the same people who is actually working what they like. They didn't have that much money and it was lavish but it was nice, whatever it was it was nice.

It was time to pack up and go home so I visited the antique shop and met the owner but she didn't want her picture taken at the time but thank her that I would like to take pictures for her. She told me their will be an event at their place for a little dance. After that I stopped by at a art shop real close by. Interesting enough, I was able to take pictures of these two artists painting.

I'm glad that I was able to talk and take photographs of them.

Now, for my Adavnce Photography Class. I was thinking droplets and or have water in a glass and have a funky background or a light lab place or have a little toy in a glass.

Initial Start

I stideded across the covered coboled stone with a great deal of worry baggage. I headed to my first idea for a photogrpahy shoot, a antique store downtowne porthmouth.

What would the person think of me?

How would I show the photograph with an intresting angle?

The cold chilled wind accelerated my walk towards the open door to a store with an old look to it. A woman approched me with excitment. Saldy, the person wasn't the owner but a friend. I felt like I was rushing her. I want to try again because it such a cool store. Tomorrow I will try one more time. One more time... Please don't be scared.

Afraid to Do Anything

I came back from my awsome trip to Itheca NY. During my stay in NY, I had to do a feature photograph of that event.



When I got back from that trip, I started to look at my 200 phtographs and none were good for feature. I was really upset and found it hard to seperate myself from this fun place. I talked to the teacher twice and I felt like I made a real fool at myself.



I asked her what I should do about this seperation.

Simply just DO IT.

It is simple but the thoughts clouded my head, afriad of what people might think about it. I havn't worked on my people's skills and why not do it now? I'm afriad but I'll try with all my might to ask God to help me guide myself to get to know people.
