Tuesday, Oct. 26th: Story Telling.

Over the weekend our class assignment was to tell a story photographically and bring in at least 5 shots with a beginning, an end and a good story in between.
My story's title was "imagination as a kid," and it was a story about a day in the life of hello kitty.
I didn't get the chance to upload these pictures today so I'll make sure to do that sometime this next week.
We had a non-critique share, which means everyone presented their story's, talked about them a little bit, and then we all got a chance to tell them what we think about it.
I thought everyone had pretty good story's. I especially liked  my friend Duy's coherent story, he had shot 5 images of a detective (a.k.a his friend) first starting out with him relaxing at his home getting a call for a report,
next one was him writing notes down in front of a mysterious wall showing his shadow and all, the next was a picture of a bloody hand with a note clip number above it, after that he took a photo of him at the top of a basement staircase, and the last part of his story was him getting locked inside a room with no way out.
I absolutely love his work, he always has some great shots.
But anyways, enough of personal.
Sad news today, C.B.'s dad died this morning, everyone was shocked that he had still come in to
teach class anyways. He wasn't really in the classroom most the time though because he was taking us one-by-one to talk about the finals and what we think would improve the class.
No one else would go first so I just said I'd go, he asked me how I was doing with the class theme
(potential energy) and if I was having problems with it.
I just told him the truth, I don't really like class themes, I feel like they restrict me from a lot, he gave me some examples but for the most part agreed with me and told me just to try my best. I have an awesome teacher. Haha. 
While he was outside of the classroom we all decided to make him a card for his loss.
I volunteered to use one of my photos on the front of the card and we all signed and wrote something in it.
It was a picture of the sun setting over the water, taken at the cove over by my house.
I'll upload a picture of that too when I get around to it.
C.B. loved the card we made him by the way, he even shed a tear or two while reading it :')

Thursday, Oct 21st: Class Critique.

Today was a "class critique" day, that means everyone in all the classes got to print out a photo of theirs to show to everyone else on a big board. After that we all sat around in a circle and talked about each picture one-by-one. The way it was suppose to go was that each picture were to be talked about individually and anonymous has to who the photographer is, but of course, with my luck, my picture was first in line and I just had to blurt out "how dose this work, what am I suppose to say?", and so everyone already knew that was my picture we were looking at.

It was all good though because everyone liked my picture anyways and said nothing but good things about it.
My photo was a really creepy orange-yellowish spider on It's web and it was all up close so you could see every little detail about the spider, like the hairs and its fangs. Super eerie I know, a few people even said it looked like a really big spider on the print, which made them feel like it should be in a science magazine, hahaha.

Everyone was suppose to talk and make a comment every once in awhile you know, but that wasn't really the case, it was mostly my class talking, we talk a lot I guess, but that's a good thing, we made C.B. happy, oh and C.B. is my teacher for future reference.

Well, there is not much more to say, that's all we really did for the whole class time.
