Maybe I have to hate photography to then be able to love it again.
I give up too easily.  With everything.

I feel like I have fallen out of love with my passion for photography.
I still love it - but my inspiration for it has faded.
Maybe it's just time for me to explore ceramics more - since I have many ideas for that.
But I want to be able to continue taking photos and making films.
I hope this is only a hiatus.

I've always wanted birthmarks...

This was my second summer helping a friend in her garden, and this was also the summer of many misfortunes.
In July, I came in contact with a plant known as Poison Parsnip.  This plant will give you second degree burns.  They left scars on my arms, but I thought they were healing beautifully.

California

I visited my aunt in California in early August.

Film photos to come…

Ceramics II

Yesterday was our last ceramics class!  I'm sad it's over because I loved that class, and would have also liked to just have several more weeks where I could continue working.  Critique went well, and it helped me think more about my idea for senior seminar.

My deer.  At first I wanted to not have any glaze/paint on him, so I could project some sort of scene, picture of video, like a meadow and etc.  But then I decided I wanted to use him for my senior project, and glazed him accordingly.  I still need to add gold colored paint to the broken parts and that includes where the antlers will go because I've decided not to attach them.

 Here is a crappy photo of everything I made this semester.

For the most part I'm quite content with everything I made.  I do wish sometimes that I made other things instead, but hopefully I'll be able to make everything I want.
I hope that I get to make a lot of new pieces this summer!

Sculpture Show

From February 4 -15th, my school a sculpture show of student work.  One of my ceramic pieces, Canyon, were selected to be on display.  This is a raku piece that was inspired by the Grand Canyon.

This is a picture from the show
