Observations

(Yes, I do still plan to do a "Hi, it's been a while!" post, but that probably won't be for another few weeks yet.)

I will be graduating with and Associates of Applied Sciences in Digital Photography at the end of this semester, although I'll technically have to take one more class over the summer. I had the same professor for my beginning and intermediate classes, and he always started us off with a scavenger sort of assignment. In Beginning, it was literally a scavenger hunt: we had ten objects indoors and ten objects outdoors that we had to find and photograph, including a statue, a toilet, and ice cream. In Intermediate it was a little more interesting: the theme was "Time," and we had to take five photographs that represented hard times, pastime, summer time, wasted time, and just time. I interpreted hard times and time rather liberally, and while I liked the final images and felt they related to the prompts, he was apparently aiming for something a little more literal.

But I really loved the concept of interpreting prompts creatively. So, as if three of the most difficult photography classes all in one semester wasn't enough on my plate, I also signed up for snapshot_bingo for the spring. Here's my card below:

I took a jaunt to San Diego in July of last year - not realizing that it was the same weekend as Comic Con. Considering I hadn't made any sort of plans other than my intent to visit Los Angeles and San Diego and get lost (both of which I accomplished, in both cities, so there's that), you can imagine my frustration trying to find a hotel room for Saturday night at ~midnight. I ended up staying a night at a sorority house for my Tau Beta Sigma, my sister's sorority. I spent the rest of the time at the Marina Inn, not a block from the Inner Harbor. I loved it there. San Diego is a beautiful city.




The room where I stayed in Los Angeles. It was marvelous, and I wished I'd stayed there more than just the one night.
