So my Kentucky trip went ok. We left Friday morning around 8:45 and arrived in Hazard, KY at 7:45pm. I drove the whole way with Karen and (Lisa) Bob. I was pretty loopy by the end of the trip. When the vans with the rest of the people arrived an hour later, we drank some but mostly wanted to crash. Saturday morning it was cold and rainy, and none of us realized that we were going to be away from the dormitory that we were staying in all day. We went to a place called Hiner, KY, a dumpy little town and had an incredibly long and boring tour of the artisan school there. We were on this trip to find pictures of destitute people and find hopeful images to submit to this thing. The artist school was a multi-million dollar facility, the woodworking teacher usually sells his furniture for thousands of dollars. I most of the students there already have college degrees. I couldn't find anything destitute about any of them. The town seemed progressive, and like they were getting better. So we were disappointed in this first part. And exhausted from walking all over the town and seeing only parking lots really as interesting photo opportunities. The whole group was pretty pissed off and cold and bored, etc. We got half an hour to eat lunch. Me and Karen and Bob chose a subway where there was only one person working. It took us 20 minutes to get our food, and ten minutes to eat. But we could smoke in the subway, so that was cool. After this we went to a basket weaver's house. This was cool, the guy was really candid and interesting and his work was really beautiful. We also think he was growing weed in his backyard. After this, we were all pretty exhausted and still were going to a bluegrass concert that night. None of us wanted to go, especially when we learned that the concert was just for us, there wouldn't be any locals there. We dragged ourselves there, and ended up having a blast. There weren't many locals, but enough to take some really great pictures of. They got all of us easterners up and dancing and just having a grand ol' time.
Karen and I left early Sunday afternoon and drove about 7 hours to my parents house in Rensselear, Indiana. We crashed Sunday night and on Monday, Karen and I explored the town. We found a great little shit bar with lots of fun local people. Tuesday I got up early and went to the Indiana DMV and got my license and my new Indiana plates and then up to Lake Michigan with Karen and my parents. It was beautiful, some of the lake was still frozen and there was this enormous ice shelf along the beach. After some dune climbing and picture taking we headed back to my parent's house. Karen and I left around 11am on Wednesday (after I picked up my negatives from a camera shop near my parent's house, almost all of which are so underexposed that the film is clear ARG!!!) and drove 10 hours home.
so thats my spring break so far. hopefully gonna get over the cold i picked up on my travels soon. bye all, i'll post pictures when i can.
