so i'm a little tiny bit sad to be done the RMSP workshop and the slightest bit depressed that my hanging out at carnival, eating cotton candy and deep-fried carb days are over.
but now?... i'm like, insanely smart and i know basically everything there is to know about photography and i rock at life in general as well. sooo yeah.
ok, not really but if i pretend that then maybe it will someday be true and if i tell myself i'm cool enough maybe a gossip columnist will eventually overhear and it an maybe then will get into the magazines and maybe james franco will read it and realize our undeniable love connection and show up at my door on a black stallion awaiting to whisk me and my awesomeness away into the sunset.
honestly though, apart from learning how to turn my camera on (and all that important stuff that i really should know if i plan on doing this thang long term) i learned how to own it; to have confidence and be myself. rocking at what you do isn't all about your equipment and computer skills and the diplomas hanging on your wall. its about learning who you are and truly expressing that through your work.
i know i'm still in the process of being found and it may take years to truly embrace my true self and expose that through my photos but this has helped me to identify myself a little better and see who i am.
...now im going to go put something black and paint a dark painting of deep and meaningful stuff while i ponder life.
That photo is AMAZING!
