Done, done, done!!!


Something Like Despair

I made it!! What a semester. It was full of all kinds of emotional roller-coasters, but I made it!! And it went pretty well. My end of semester review was definately the best one I have ever had in my 4 semesters at Columbia. I can't believe how well it went. It was so UN-painful. Their criticism was actually helpful and constructive. And I actually got a lot of positive feedback and comments... crazy, huh?

And I'm so excited about experimenting this summer. I got a new Toyo 45A field camera, and I'm ready to start using it. One of the things my panel mentioned was to think about how I would present the work. I definately need to think about that. I've been so focused on trying to make good pictures, I just let that part go. But I'll figure it out.

And you know what else I'm excited about? I can read whatever the hell I want ALL SUMMER LONG! Yay! I've got a stack of books waiting for me.

Here's a new picture. It's been awhile, I know. These next pictures reflect some of the emotional drama I've been going through lately.

How do I want to be seen? How do others see me? I present myself in a certain way in order to be taken seriously, but it seems I will always be reduced to the parts that define me strictly by gender. Is this all I am?

Just uploading some images from the past semester. This one is made up of 9 separate diptychs. Soon to be on my website, but you get a preview here!

Last semester was a crazy one. Some major events ocurred: I passed cadidacy, I moved mid-semester, I gave my first slide lecture as a teaching assistant, I won the Getz graduate award, and I just found out that I will continue as a teaching assistant for the coming semester. Whew!

I think I'm just about ready to begin the new semester.
