this is my blog

i’m feeling fairly good coming out of spring break though because i was fairly productive and sent out some resumes. i did not make a lot of progress on my website but that’s coming soon. another highlight of spring break was i got to practice with the underwater housing for my camera. i was shooting stills and video. underwater photo is such an unusual experience because your camera is all wrapped up in the casing and you can’t quite get to it the way you are used to. i also did not have the traditional scuba gear so i was not properly weighted which makes capturing still more difficult. my friend ryan and i hope to create some cool photos/videos for our underwater research class.

i had two really good phone conversations today. this morning i caught up with stephanie, a friend from austin. we both had a lot of catching up to do. i love that she and i have kept in touch off and on over the years. this evening i spoke with a friend of a friend who i am interviewing for a research paper in my history of 20th century photography class. the topic of the paper is social documentary. i am excited to be able to interview a photographer because i feel it will help in my development as a photographer more than just reading about a photographer would.

tonight will end by going to a fundraiser at a bar in a nearby town for the local rollergirls.

coming up this week is a test in religion and society and an orientation at the student paper. i have decided to bite the bullet and work for them. hopefully this time next week i’ll be out shooting assignments. 

i do have more to say but no time to write. just thought my last post had been up for to long and didn’t really represent the current tone of my life.
