This Semester's Work

With the end of a semester comes a re-cap of

what I've been doing in my classes. This semester I took a staged environment

photo class, and a digital imaging class. This was a really

tough semester for me.  I had a whole bunch of issues in my personal

life that I have had to work through. I was surprised at how those issues came out

 in my work. I can totally see the things that were bothering

me in the choices i made with regard to my images. I don't know that

anyone else will see it, but I think it was kind of therapeutic

for me.

  I was so burned out when the semester began, and I never really

felt like I was comfortable with any of the assignments. I guess that's a good thing. If a person gets

 too comfortable, their work usually becomes stale. I really had to stretch myself, and while

I am still not completely happy with the work I did, I feel like I learned a ton. I gained

valuable knowledge and experience that I can take with me into my next classes.

This isn't all the work I did, but rather just a sampling of what I have been up to.

Digital Imaging, Self Portraits

This was really hard for me, and for most of my class.

I really struggled with how to portray myself
