So I haven't been posting much lately. I guess thats what happens when you don't have internet at your apartment. Boot Camp is officially finished. So I am no longer a reporter. I did get two photo spots and an article in. And for the hell of it, I'm working on a profile of a local artist with an ongoing exhibit. He works with a mixed-medium and often scans and reprints old photographs while sewing embroidery or buttons on top of the print.
Real classes start on Monday and my schedule is basically set. The department has been very bad in preventing required classes from overlapping. So the photo students are holding back until the department gets everything together.
The town of Columbia has not upset me so far. In fact, its kind of interesting. One bum listens to Kenny-G on his boom-box. I have a Canadian for a neighbor; which I totally did not expect. (That really is not her on the link.) She also has a roof-top balcony (a luxory I am not afforded) where one can overlook the happenings of S.10th Street. In a way it makes you feel like Al Swearingen in the HBO tv show Deadwood, where he would oftentimes overlook the musings of the 19th century town from his 2nd story balcony.
With classes starting tomorrow, this will mark the beginning where the photojournalism students go off into our own cluster and pretend the rest of the department does not exist. So long nonphotographers, it was fun sharing a class with you for 2 weeks!
