artsy fartsy
our new assignment for art is called "seeing things." we are required to take different angles of pictures and look at an object that may have a double meaning (such as a wad of chewed gum= gum ball).
i made a pinhole camera and took a few pictures.

new art project
our new assignment for art photography is to take really abstract pictures that may perhaps resemble something else completely or be graphically metaphorical. i wish i knew more about what it is exactly he is looking for. i guess i kind of know but i'm still not entirely sure.
i think he wants something like these, angular and off-beat and slightly cracked-out.
let's hope i can do this!

the art of criticism or the criticism of art?
i finally finished my art photography portrait project. however, i got some pretty severe criticisms from my professor.
i thought my pictures for art were decent and got them printed and mounted in the tom of time only to be discredited for technical problems-- i got the wrong matt size, i neglected to remove the white trim from my picture edges, etc. --and lack of creativity. lack of creativity???? ME? i have never lacked the ability for creativity. my pictures were not of any great symbolic consequence, true, but i DID put much care into the production of them. my professor wounded me to my core with his criticisms and then proceeded to sarcasticly thump the bloody gash. he is a boob. do you think they have any value?
other than being depressed about art class photos, i had an excellent shoot at the zoo for a photo feature in wednesday's issue of The Optimist. i would have liked to have more photo caption information but the features editor had a certain design in mind so a lot of really interesting information was left out for reasons unknown to myself. i had loads of great quotes and facts that would have made the spread so much more informative. i suppose i should just be thankful for having a good shoot. for a minute, i was getting worried i had lost my touch altogether.
