First of all, thanks for the encouragement on my last (majorly downer) post. Last week was especially rough, and the weekend was not much better. It included breaking out in a stress rash, driving to the doctor to find it closed, driving to my school to find my key didn’t work, and driving home sobbing [...]

There are 8,000 topics I keep meaning to blog about, but my sad dying iBook combined with my apparent inability to climb stairs to use my parent’s computer have combined to create an almost insurmountable obsacle to my blogging.

I started working part-time job at a portrait studio. It’s actually the perfect part time job for me, besides the fact that I can only work for about three months before I [...]

This semester, I’ve been in a basic photography class, where we shoot on film and develop and print all our own photos in the darkroom. After the first day, I got the hang of developing and printing down quickly. I know when I need to burn down some light spots, dodge some dark ones, or [...]
