This semester I'm in an Intermediate Photo class and it focuses a lot on how we want to use the camera to express ourselves now that we understand the basics.

So I've started taking a lot of portraits, especially of people close to me. And I'd like to think that I can express myself in this way by capturing those I love with a camera so that others can see them the way I do. In a lot of them I want it to be not only a portrait of the person but also of my relationship to him or her.

That's all.

My first year's almost over here at MECA. Wow.

So I've finally found the time to upload some of the work I've been doing at school. yayyyyy

I'm taking an Intro to Photography class which basically teaches black and white 35mm film photography. It's neat. I like learning about developing and printing film.

Just thought I'd let you all know. I'll be uploading a lot of photography in the near future.

College isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I've met some cool new people, but I still feel very alone in this great wonderful city. I wish it were easier for me to make friends, but I guess I'm just not aggressive enough. Its not that I'm shy or anything, I'll take to anyone... but I seem to have difficulty putting myself in the position where I can do that.

I'd like to walk around this area and take pictures of interesting things, and also I think it would be nice to spend some time in one of the really nice parks here, or go look at the shops and things around here... but I don't like doing things like that alone. >.<

I just want to get a shirt that says LET'S BE FRIENDS. Maybe that would make things easier...?

XD

I got into the Maine College of Art, which I'll be attending next year.

yayyy!

Trying to keep up with the art and journal, but this time because of being busy, not lazy haha.



Its quite a hectic time of year for me, being a senior in high school. By the end of January I need to have my portfolio done (about 3-6 more finished pieces), get my letters of recommendation, schedule interviews for colleges, and get my applications in. Not to mention financial aid... etc...

In any case, my number once choice where I'd like to go is the Rhode Island School of Design. But that place is ridiculously expensive so my number two choice is the Maine College of Art, which I visited and was a wonderfully lovely place.



:C

I miss the summer.
