Juried Photography Exhibit

Mon Apr 27, 2009, 4:02 PM
So this past Thursday was the grand opening of the Juried Photography Exhibit. Pretty much all of the Photography students at Radford submitted something into the show. I have to say that there are a lot of talented people here.

I decided to submit my alternative process pieces, which are images printed on leaves. They turned out so wonderful! Once I get a picture, of them, I'll post them up on DA.

The best news was that I actually won a prize for "Green Horizon." I really couldn't believe it! It was my first actual prize for a photograph in these contests. It really feels good and it really encourages me to keep on practicing with these leaves.

In other news, I am currently in the middle of a collection called The "Abandoned" Collection. I may go out and shoot more with this concept in mind so that I can publish a book within a few months. Also, I am developing a few more shots for the wedding portrait series.

So there's my update! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning, is a little later on. Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all.

hey girl! Sorry it's been forever for me to respond. School has started with a giant leap into assignments bleh. I'm taking 4 studio classes along with an art history which is apparently suicidal lol. So, I'll see how I am in a few weeks lol


What's going on over on your side of town?

Sorry it's taken me almost a week to respond.... Ian just got our new wireless network up and running so now I have access to my laptop again!! I've been using his desktop and he likes to kick me off of it all the time. Anyway things over here have been well.... less than desirable... I hate my job, we didn't succeed in getting Ian into school this fall... and as you can tell I'm not in school either. But on the up side our room mate issue has been resolved... he moved out. Thank the Gods! This place feels so much better without his negativity. I miss you guys! I'll be at the Radford Highland games, also the Ren fare is happening again. Greenhill park in salem... the 26th and 27th $5 admission like last year. Oh did I tell you I joined the Pipe Band? I don't have my uniform just yet but I've earned my drum! Shouldn't be but a few more months and I'll actually get to play gigs! I might be in the Christmas parade!

How have you been?

oh wow that's great! I'm so glad you earned your drums. Did they make you go through some big test or something? That's gonna be so cool to see you in the band, especially a Christmas parade! Where will the parade be exactly?

What was the roommate situation? And do you two finally get the apartment to yourselves? Whatever it was, I'm really glad to hear that things are looking up!

I'm really sorry to see that he didn't get in a school this Fall, but that doesn't mean he can't try again in the spring :) Who knows, maybe not being able to go now might mean that something better will happen in the future :)

(This is a long message lol)

Zach told me that you are working as a nutritionist at a prison. I can see the frustration that you might have lol but think of it as positive. Who knows? Maybe that Soufflé you'll cook will change an inmate from a homicidal lunatic to an honest man lol. Well....maybe not....Maybe while you're working there, you can start thinking about starting a catering business of your own? Or try to contact Brandon's friend, Evan and ask about potential culinary careers that could be available.

Just keep your head high and everything will fall into place :)

(this is very long)

Right now I'm trying to get a collection of photography together for my BFA Review as well as my Exit review...I decided that I wanted to graduate next winter instead of in the spring so that I could get some extra experience. It's been really great because the teachers are letting me come in as an assistant professor for some classes as well as letting me take care of the dark rooms. I just need to get my work schedule in order.

I'm really starting to feel the kick of 4 studio classes...everything is due at the same time! gah!

I've also been coming home every weekend trying to finish up the murals for Dabney's Bubbles n Brunch. I have until Oct 11 to have them done bleh! no time!

But I've been putting off reading for my art history class so I guess I need to get on it.

I'm really glad to hear that things are starting to turn around for ya :) Just give the rest of the bad stuff time and patience and it'll all change for the best too!

Love ya!

Heather
