Show Time!

Well, the time is almost here. Graduation is right around the corner, but before that, the student art show! Woot! I’m excited. I’m almost ready, and I’m super thrilled to get to share the project I’ve been working on all semester.

More information on the show and all the students who are exhibiting their work can be found at http://www.cvccstudentartshow.com/.

Now I’m off to work on my artist statement for this piece of work. I’m pretty sure the artist statement is the most difficult part of any photography project. At least it is for me.

I need chocolate. How else do you get through the tough parts of projects?

Portfolio Throwdown

I went with some friends and classmates to the Light Factory in Charlotte today for a student critiquing session. It was an all day event, so I’m exhausted now, but totally jazzed about the feedback I received. I took my work in progress for this portfolio and the critiques they gave were totally enlightening. I have some things I’m going to tweak a little and I think it will make my final project amazing. It was very cool.

I also realized that even though I’m swamped with projects right now, I really need to spend more time on this website and online portfolio. I have a lot of stuff that I just haven’t had the time—no, I haven’t MADE the time—to get uploaded.

So here’s another teaser for my portfolio show coming up in just a few weeks. I will be posting more about that very soon. This is a shot that I’m re-working a little differently, (you know how picky we are about pictures of ourselves…lol) so I won’t be using this for the show, but I still like it.

I’m really excited about showing a few of the stories that are conveyed through people’s faces and hands. This has been such a fun project and I don’t know that I want to call this one finished yet…I think I’ll play a little longer. =)

Spring Break

We did a bit of traveling over this spring break. Unfortunately, my allergies took me for a spin and then turned into a sinus infection, which left me somewhat miserable over the entire break. Thanks to that, I didn’t feel like taking a whole lot of pictures, but I did catch a few interesting sights along our travels.

We visited Charleston first, but those were my worst days of sickness, so Mr. Lizard was the only catch I got from there.

 

Then we came home and flew out to Boston, MA. While we were up there, we drove a few hours west to Northfield, MA, to see the birthplace of Dwight L Moody. His grave was also there. Beautiful area with such a view! 

So we were on the road quite a bit, but we enjoyed every minute of it (minus the sick part).

 

On our way back to Boston from Northfield, we took a scenic route to avoid the major traffic, and one of the tiny, curvy, backroads on which we found ourselves had a pile of rocking horses just sitting on the side of the road out in the middle of nowhere. Crazy and a little creepy, but I like the picture. Haha.

So that’s it. I’ve got some portfolio sneak peeks to share soon, so stay tuned.
