Well then...

One problem I didn't expect to have was theactual Blog, itself. Hopefully, since it's just starting, I'll have more to talk about as time progresses. But getting into the habit of keeping tabs on what I've been up to is definitely harder than I had first thought.

Last Thursday was the first time I got to sign out and use time specifically for my photography, and it felt amazing.

And Saturday I recieved three copies of the OutLoud magazine in which my article and photos of the Supervillains concert appear along with a check for $20. While it isn't a lot of money, given the fact I was allowed into the show for free and taking photos of this band was in itself, priceless, I would say it isn't a bad deal.

Actually seeing my article gave rise to the possibility of a future as a Photographic Journalist? I plan to stick with OutLoud for a while, and see if I get any better as far as my reviews, and give the idea more thought.

Who knows?

Day One

While yesterday was techincally the first day, I consider today the first day since we now have our IDs and are officially able to leave campus and pursue our project. Today, I did leave campus and went to Chipotle with Connor B. and Alejandro R. and we discussed possible ideas for how to present our projects at the end of the semester. My short videos and examples of my photography. But it depends on how much I get done as far as actual artwork is concerned. It will more than likely change as my project goes on.

Things I am excited for:

1. Gaining more experience in my particular forms of photography. (i.e. Street/Candid, Concert, & Portrait/Glamour)
2. Becoming a more well-rounded photographer.
3. Having time specifically for me to go take photos/practice.
4. Possibly shadowing several local photographers and gaining general knowledge on how to run a photography business.

No as excited for:

1. Research.

Of course, I will do my research, but there's just something about Having to have certain types of resources each week is a bit of a put-off. I want to interview people, I want to do online research, but on my own time. Even that smallest form of a rule is irksome. I don't know, I'll just have to deal with as best I can.
