On one side I still feel like i'm locked into this... that I've taken so many credits that I can't change to photography now and that I should still continue on with film, but on the other had I could still say ef it and just go with photography. I've had a renewed sense of love for the craft since I started taking the classes. It's all very stressful and humbling; but still very exciting. Maybe this has come about simply because these classes force me to go out and take the time to make some worth while images... and to stay with a scene for more than a split second. It also provides me with a challenge.. which i think is something that every photographer needs. My last challenge was music photography and that hasn't been real challenge for a few years now.
I've still got a ton to learn and I could still make the decision to become a photo major. I think that's something that I'll have to decide by the end of the semester though. I'll be playing summer ketch up anyway it goes though.
Today on a whim I decided to finally set up my scanner. I'm pretty stoked on it, I won't lie. I don't know much about scanners, but this one seems to be pretty awesome. It's already scanning better quality than that of the scanner I shared back home with my parents... and it's only running at 300 dpi right now. It goes up to 1600. Stoked. But yeah, so I pretty much just stayed in all night (minus the run to Bar Louie to eat with alison) scanning in some prints from Foundations & Darkroom as well as tons of polaroids that i've had for a good long while now.
Also did probably the most ridiculous shoot with Zach, Chris, Erin, Michael and Cat tonight. Got too caught up with scanning to upload and edit those though. As I right, I'm still procrastinating on the homework that's due at 9am in the morning.. right now it's 2:55am. I need to get a move on.
