it's been quite the project, getting all of this together. it didn't help that i waited until there was only about two weeks till INSTALLATION! (saying that makes it sound like my project is some kind of spaceship preparing for launch)
i will tell you, shooting this project was definitely the easiest part of it all, and the most fun. i wish i was one of those really famous photographers who could just hire others to do the headache that is dealing with matts, frames, hooks and all that jazz. but i am grateful (now) that i could learn how to do all that by myself. it's really satisfying to see a hallway full of prints that i've slaved over, to see people look at them. i've already heard a lot of good compliments and kinds words about them and the show has only been up for a day!
i'm so grateful for all the people who have helped so much with this project:
1. the "subjects"- i'd rather call them friends and loved ones- who gave up their time to let me get to know them, and braved me with a gigantic 4X5 camera.
2. my teachers, for helping me print, their constructive critiques, and to Bro. C for letting me use his frames as well as helping me hang (that would have been a nightmare without all the help i got!)
3. and most definitely, to my parents for funding my education, believing in my ability to succeed as an artist, student and daughter of God.
(i'm still in the process of putting my book together, that's what i will do upon the finish of this celebratory post.)
