Well finally, it’s May 2nd and this will definitely be the start of my summer for a long, adventurous summer! But here are some small things that have happened since my last post.
So for most of April, it was all about getting those final projects done; essay, movie poster, industrial shot, creative lighting, website, business plan, and my portfolio. Of course, I got everything done on time (even if it meant cramming for 9 hours in the library to finish a business plan for a 11:59pm deadline). Now what about those MAJOR projects? Well, my essay for my Photo Ethics and Issues, my essay was good enough that I got to present it to my class (the topic was about girls self esteem getting crushed due to excessive photoshopping). My business plan somehow got a pretty good mark even though there was a lot of missing parts. My website - thisisallisonwong photography - did very well even though there were definitely much better websites . And finally, my portfolio could have been a lot better so this summer I plan to build on my portfolio.
Other things that have happened, during the Photography Awards Banquet, I was nominated for Best Portrait with - Paint It White - along with 6 other amazing portraits. I’m glad I lost to Tyson because I really liked his portrait - Killer Instincts (First Photo) - And I did get a little certificate because of my photo along side of getting it put up on the wall! YEAH! I’ll definitely get a photo of that. My goal for this program is to graduate (of course) and get a photo of mine up on the wall so this has been a win-win kind of year. Non-Charlie-Sheen style.
This is my final year of school for now until 2012 where they will hopefully offer third year that I will definitely be a part of. I also might try to get a job as a “prof” in the program. I highly doubt that I will get the job but I damn well want to try. I think teaching Mac OS will be pretty fun since I just have to teach about using the Macbook and stuff; not hard right?
What does this summer bring me? Well, one of my best friends, Drew, has left London to go back to Windsor for a couple days, then off to Toronto, then off to Vancouver, then off to England! I might not see him for half a year but I damn will harass his Facebook, text him, and hopefully see his face on Skype sometime. I plan to shoot a lot more and just build my portfolio and make it stronger. I’m working with my godfather who is teaching me more and help me improve my skills my giving me small assignments to work on and giving me critique of what it is like to have your work shown in “the real world”. I will hopefully either get a better job or a second job this summer also. I hope to get more photography gigs. I hope to see my friends as often as possible to go hang out and just have a blast of a summer. I hope to find myself again and figure stuff out because with a year off, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself.
That’s all I got for now. Time to watch more development on the Federal election. I will hopefully write more soon.
Thanks.
