for the first time ever, i feel good about being an artist.
i was just in the studio from 8 am till 11pm, excluding 2 hrs that i had class, working on pretty much 1 photo, but i feel confident in where it is going
it almost feels as if im slowly becoming less of a student and more of an artist. Granted I'm still a student, but i think i'll always be kind of a student.
This semesters projects seem to be going well. Ive finally stopped experimenting and creating pieces just because im fascinated with the process, and have begun to finally use what i know to create something much larger.
Valerie was willing to pose for me (and i thank her ever so greatly) and i think i have a really good shot that im going to use.
its funny cause in a way, i spent the whole day "staring" at valerie, developing the film and creating the photo
i printed it on 16x20 litho film and have it hanging up in the photo studio, im somewhat proud of it
a large portion of the night consisted of me trying to create a 16x20 negative of it to use for the cyanotype version. Im actually really excited
The next two weeks are filled with much photography and lots of traveling to exhibits
tomorrow is the keith haring opening in reading, and next sat im goin to philly for bodyworlds... far too excited about seing dead ppl skinned and posed
far too excited...
