thanks for all the love on the pin-up picture everyone. i have a few more to post later in this blog. im hoping it will get you guys psyched for my new set that is coming soon...
so the flooding here is pretty bad. ive managed to make it out of the house and to work with no problem really, i've just had to take alternative routes. my classes were cancelled last night, and it looks like the college is closed today as well. they said the river is going to reach near 33, when the flood stage is only 17...driving across the bridge to work today it was crazy to see how high the river actually was. just the little tops of the trees on the islands were sticking out of the water. scary stuff. people are being evacuated, so many roads are closed. im thankful i live on a hill...because the people that live on front street in my town are even having to move their cars to higher ground. its mandatory. the mayor said anyone that is found walking on front street will be arrested and fined. zoo american in hershey shot two of their bison because they didn't evacuate in time. its disgusting...
i stayed at my boyfriends house last night because my parents were worried about me getting home. its not so bad on the west shore right now. but harrisburg is pretty fucked. im glad i've still got a half a bottle of whiskey, because i plan on hunkering down tonight. lol.
it was actually really nice to not have to go to class yesterday. monday was a holiday of course. i've just been having a really rough week overall. tuesday morning i woke up early. my first assignment for black and white photography II was "diffusion/softening techniques with a sense of fashion or style." maybe i waited too long, or maybe i just don't have enough confidence to shoot with a model yet, but i decided to knock out some self portraits for that assignment. i just wanted to have something to develop in class that night...because i only have one more week to turn it in, and we already have our next assignment. anyways. i developed the roll and i absolutely hated everything that came out of it. i wasn't even going to show my professor for critique because i thought it was so bad. side note- not all the people in my class are beginners like me. some of them have already taken most of their classes, and have just decided to take this class because its the last time its being offered. so. some of my classmates talked me into showing my work anyways. they said if its that bad i can only get better...and i agreed with them. i prefaced showing my contact sheet by saying, please tell me how bad this is so i can justify feeling the way i feel right now. and then i had a panic attack. seriously. so bad. ugh. and the photos actually weren't as bad as i thought. im just gong to print the two best ones to turn it in on time, and get this project out of the way so i can focus on other things. and if i don't get the grade i want, at least i can resubmit it at the end of the semester. i still need to go into the lab and do my final prints, and mat them, before it due on tuesday. the flooding kind of fucked me there...because i wanted to do it last night after my drawing class. hopefully it will be nicer on monday so i can get it done on time...
speaking of drawing class, it has been frustrating me to no end. i just don't fucking understand. and i don't even think im going to rant about this because i just don't even know...i was working on my homework and i had another panic attack, so i stopped. it was due the next day (yesterday). i worked on one of the critiques at work and called it done, even though my drawing wasn't even close to done, and i was supposed to have a second critique. so i guess having off yesterday was a blessing, so now i can work out whatever issues im having and hopefully finish the way im supposed to.
im just gonna say that there's this drunk guy in my shop right now, and hes been sitting here reading magazines for the last hour almost. he said hes just looking...come on dude, this isn't a fucking library!
it's roadieshows birthday today, so go wish him a good one!
