There is much to talk about...

Im in the last semester of my life. This is quite possibly the most challenging semester i have had... in terms of motivation. My class load is rather small; i only have nine credit hours.
However, i can't help but feel like this is the most pointless semester i've taken thus far. Its mostly a nusance. Its the only thing that separates me from the rest of my life.

I've been helping my friend Tony Czech
teach a photography class at RockeTown. We are attempting to teach them the basics of photography: composition, exposure, etc. This week, per their request, we tried to incorporate telling a story. Tony and I decided that the assignment for the week was to create a diptych. One photo being a portrait, the other being an action shot. Through this interaction, they were to tell the story of myself trying to skate a mini-ramp (I had no previous experience). The majority of my evening was spent falling...


What of Photography for yourself? Good question. Things are going well. Considering I'm still a student first, I shy away from doing too much. I don't want to give into my waning motivation. Come May, I plan on launching into photography full force. In them meantime, i continue to do a little work here and there. My friend, Tony, with whom I help teach photography, has been very helpful in setting my goals for the future. He is an amazing photographer... but even more an amazing friend. He is providing me with some invaluable experiences.

There's more...

I'm sweet on somebody. Her name is Liz. And guess what... she likes me back.
If you want to know more, feel free to ask. Its a story i could tell over and over.


Thats all for now. I have to save something for the next post.
