So Monday I drove to Austin remove myself from all distractions and do some shooting. Left at around 11ish or so and and got there around 12. Took some assorted pics of my parents backyard and then drove to Williamson County Park. Wondered around the park for about an hour and a half while taking some more shots. By the time I was done I had 26 of the 36 shot roll finished off. Kinda wished I had finished off the roll then. Saw a few shots on the way home that I should have stopped to get but meh.
Then on Tuesday between classes I walked back to my apartment and did a few quick setups in my kitchen to finish off the 10 shots remaining. Just of some random objects that were laying around. Took the shots and then went and developed the pics. The ones that I had taken at at the park came out ok. A lot of them didn't come out like I had expected. A few of them came out to dark others where I had thought I used a low enough F-stop to make the background blurry came out clear. Overall I think these have been the best exposures that I've done thus far.
Showed Sterling my contact sheet. He liked a lot of them and complimented me on them. That meant a lot especially since I respect him because he knows shit shit and pumps out some pretty good stuff too. Burt even liked some of them, despite the fact that he doesn't like us shooting indoors because its hard to get the right amount of light.
So as I was walking around in the park I was thinkin' about part of the conversation that Jess and I had. She had asked, "what do you do to relax?" and to which I replied, "I don't even know anymore." When I was in grade school I LOVED to bike. Not so much stunts but just riding around. I'd ride around just to do it, no destination in mind, just moving along. In grade school and high school I was on the a swim team. Now I don't have any sort of outlet. I've thought about picking up running or going to the gym. Thing about that is that I don't really have anyone to do it with. Mike, Enrique and Berto have kinda invited me to join them but that's all the way in San Antonio which an hour drive one way. Besides just kinda mentioning it in passing and me saying that I'd come, I haven't really got an invite to come and do anything with them. Which I'm kinda disappointed with. Maybe I need to be in SA and be like let's go run or goto the gym, heh, but I'm in SA SO often. I know I NEED to pick up something. I do get restless bein' in here all by my lonesome. Its in no way shape or form healthy, physically or mentally.
Have a meeting with my counselor this afternoon at 3 to talk about what exactly I need to take to graduate. Not really looking forward to it all that much. HOPEFULLY, I'll get accepted into the program officially. Still only considered PRE-communication design. I think I'm pretty much done with all my cores, minus the language and 1 or 2 more art histories. So pretty much just have upper division courses left. Things like Art Direction, Web Design, Commercial Branding and maybe an advanced type class. So we'll see come 3 o'clock. On the way back I'll have to pick up some stuff for matting which ever three pics I decide to mount.
