Today was the last day of class :'(
Well, at least it was the last day in class at youth in focus,
because there is no class next Tuesday and Thursday due to thanksgiving break.
The next class we have will be on November 30th and we will be meeting at the 619 western building, the place where the show is going to be held, and we will be hanging up our photos on this day.
All finals due today!!
You can only imagine how crazy it was. There was not a moment when the printer wasn't being used.
Everyone except for me and duy were not even half way through with their final pieces.
I was being nice pretty much the whole time and letting other people use the printer before me, sense I
already had my finals all ready to go. It did get irritating at times though because people would print without asking if someone was about to print so there was a long line for the printer all day, and also a lot of "mess-up photos" because if two people print at the same time it will confuse the printer and just print both of the images on the same piece of paper, on top of each other, some of them looked really cool though, haha.
About half way through the class I decided I didn't like one of the photos that I had framed,
It was the same photo I used for my postcard, the spider one,
I went back to editing it Lightroom, I messed around with it for a bit, re-cropped it so that the spider was in the middle and not the one side, and I also enhanced the colors of the spider, and I ended up liking this one way more the other one so I printed it out and replaced the two. Even C.B. agrees that it looks better.
I finally figured out how to make my self portrait look how I imagined it to look.
I took me a few prints to get to this one though, so I was happy when I was done with that and turned it in.
After finishing that I began to overview my artist statement and fix any in-corrections. This didn't take me very long, sense it was already written I just needed to edit it a bit.
I got those two done (self portrait & artist statement) so that was a good feeling.
C.B. had told us to print out 3 copies of each photo that is going into the show,
one for the show, one for the archives, and one for yourself (optional).
After printing those and getting all that done I started working on choosing a photo to print out for everyone.
I decided to use my photo of a 4-leaf clover, I thought of it has a form of "good luck" to give to everyone in my class. I wrote a little note to each of my classmates on the back of the photo and signed it with my name.
They all seemed to love what I gave them, a couple of them said they were going to hang it up on their wall, haha that's funny to me, but in a good way :)
David, one of my classmates, was super funny today, because he was one of the people that were behind, he was running around looking for things like mats, frames, towels, rulers, he needed everything basically, so I helped him a lot sense I was already done with everything. I actually helped a lot of people today, and let me tell you, they really needed it, haha.
C.B. and one of the mentors stayed after class because it was so crazy and a lot of people still had photos to print and frame. I stayed till 7:00pm to help a couple of them with framing and what not.
So I don't know what happened after I left but I'm assuming it must have been pretty crazy and a lot of them probably stayed a long time after class was over.
