I honestly had forgotten about deviantart for a while.

I haven't shot anything of (that I would consider anyway) significance lately.

I graduated a month or so ago with my BA.

I quit my job and drove across the east coast.

Home(less) now.

Ran away and got married.
It's been six months.

It all sounds terribly depressing really, but it isn't. Not so much anyway.

I'm applying to grad schools now. Trying to decide what to do next. A million ideas pouring out of one notebook I just need to find the motivation and energy to execute. God knows I have the time.

Everything will be okay.




I am still not beyond my crucifixion with railroad spikes. Perhaps one day you will understand, Mr. Bear.

I'm sorry there hasn't been much new work up lately. I've been shooting but other things have distracted me from deviantart. I'm less than six months away from graduating from Ohio University. It's strange how long it felt but now that it's here how quickly it seems that I've gotten there.

I was introduced to a really wonderful (and wealthy...) art collector just a few short weeks ago at a student show. He was impressed with my work and invited me a two other students to his absolutely beautiful home to take a look at his collection. He kindly gave us a tour of his house where I was able to see some of the most beautiful pieces of artwork I think I've ever seen in person. Afterwards he purchased three images from me and I walked away with $1500. It was really unbelievable. I cried all the way home, actually. I am just astonished that I've gotten this far and had so many amazing opportunities for someone so young. I am truly blessed.

I have plans for new pieces. I'm working on gathering the materials I need and then hopefully the shooting will commence!

I am getting ready to start my last year of my undergraduate degree next month. By next spring I will have my BA! I'm currently looking at Grad Schools which has become increasingly stressful. There just seems to be so much to organize and most of the deadlines are by January for a Fall 2012 start. I need to manage to get together my portfolio within the next two or three weeks and then I don't think I'll stress out as much about the rest.
I have been debating what I will spend next summer doing before I leave for Grad School and I have the opportunity to travel with a close friend and live the squatter and train hopping circuit which I view as a really unique opportunity as far as photographic ethnography goes. It would be a huge step considering I would have to leave my home, job, and friends behind to do it so I'm still back and forth on the decision. I figure I'll have a clearer idea of my goals after I know the results of all my grad school applications. To be honest I'm just having a hard time trying to decide where to apply.

I'm hoping to get some new work done in the following weeks... I have to admit I haven't done very much this summer and I know that probably isn't a good thing.

Wish me luck.

I am going to be doing some major clean up to this page soon. Too much old shit that's just really bad and I can't believe I ever thought to share that with other people. I've come a long way from the beginning.

Very busy with school and work.

Gah.
