The Start of a New Semester

I'm excited to announce that I am happily back in school. It's funny cuz I was one of those girls that never really liked school. Now... I CRAVE it. I'm taking Advanced Photo Studies, Alternative Photo 2 and History of Art from the Renaissance. I love my classes so far. In a way of course, they push my to think outside my box and out of my element-which of course is good. There are ways that I have to think that I don't want to think (very deep and personal). Art is by far, is an emotion. A lot of the students REALLY get into their art-I mean to the extreme. I sometimes find myself just gawking at them thinking, "Am I just on a whole other planet or how in the crap did you ever THINK of such a thing?" To each their own I suppose. At any rate, I'm thrilled to be back!





In my Advanced Photo class, I'm thinking of doing a social documentary with the concept of "What is it that we hunger for that gives us our personal gratification?" I wanted to focus a lot of the project on the homeless vs. the ones where they have it all, but it is never enough. I also wanted to focus on the homeless to make myself feel more gratitude for how good I really do have things despite current situations in my life. Well... The project is not going as well as I hoped so far and I may end up changing my idea all together. We'll see... But here were a few (horrible-not even close to what I consider good photography-a drive by shooting haha... not literally!) images that did break my heart. As bad as times may be for a lot of us, at least this isn't me.
