There's a Corner of my Bed

Where I can apparently get online. WOohoo. But then I"m kinda sittin or laying in this funny position.......

Randomness.......

I have to work on a "theme' in my Personal Vision class. You know, I'm not good at this. I'm a conservative art student. Sure. I may have some artsy stuff in me, but I'm not creative. I guess this sounds horrible, but I just want to take excellent beautiful photographs. If it speaks to you, find. If it can remotely convey how I may have been feeling, or what I feel, to whoever sees it, dandy. Because at least right away, I don't feel like I can actually make a living off of creating photographs. Sure, some of these kids will. Some of them have it made. Connections in New York, connections because of their family (we have some kids who attend SCAD from some pretty famous families.....), connections because of money. I have none of those.

I will hopefully be able to print digitally much better than I do now. Since apparently the world is going to leave behind the wet darkroom. I must admit, digital photography is much more immediate. But working in a wet darkroom.......there's just nothing like it. That is where I get to do my hands-on creating. Creating and working that image the way I want it. And then trying to duplicate it. Sure, you can do that digitally. But where's the hands-on? It's all done in a fucking computer. Click here, shift+alt something there. Click there, crop this, move that, enhance this with a touch of a button. Not saying it isn't creative, but it's not HANDS-ON. Making things with my hands is a powerful and exciting feeling........just not the same clicking buttons on a mouse or keyboard.........
