Yesterday I had what will (hopefully) be my last critique in photography. It went surprisingly well. For our final assignment we did Gum Prints. It's cool process, but a bit time consuming and difficult to master the first go-round.
It took me forever to develop my concept for this project. I had an idea really early on, but I didn't quite know how to execute it on film. Finally I came to the conclusion that simple is better, and worked from there. I'll talk more about it when I get the images back so I can post them here.
After class, we all got together to take a class portrait, like we've done in previous classes. It is photography, after all.
l to r: Rita Skiadas, the instructor; Sherard Robinson, William Bunce, Nikki Bhakta, John Hyland, and Sharon Samples (me). Photo taken by Sohil Bhakta with my camera.
In the beginning of the semester there were 8 students. Then there were 6. Only 5 people showed up for critique. Nikki's prints were awesome. She's an extremely talented photographer, and I'll hope to see more from her in the future. Her cousin, Sohil, is also a photo student at South. He's really good as well. I hope he realizes his dream of becoming a fashion photographer.
My future as a photographer is a bit less certain, but I do enjoy it. Who knows? My minor in photography may do me some good in the future.
Tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. I graduate. Ken's being awesome and attending. I still have yet to try on my cap & gown. If it doesn't fit now there isn't much I can do about anyways.
G-Day approaches.
