a dedication

these past weeks since school has started has been a killer time for me. the first week of school I tried to fight off a 104 degree fever by myself and ended up in the hospital. after that week things just kept stacking up- work, school, sorority life. i want to be perfect at everything and i know perfect is close to impossible. i am my own worst critic. i just want to thank my best friend Catherine for always being there for me. she literally brought me soup and meds when i couldn't get out of bed, she brings me dinner when i spend six hours in the studio, she is my third hand and my best friend.

behind the scene

my friend took this shot while i was setting up. lights, camera, computer, cords, props... etc. 

There is a surprising amount of running around a small studio to get everything set up. 

This quarter (with an ambitious attempt or crazy... i still haven't figured that out) I decided to take on 19 credits, work as a teachers assistant, do community service, and join greek life. And on top of that juggle a personal life. There are not enough hours in a day, days in a week and weeks in a month to do everything I need and want to do. Although, these assignments sometimes feel like another task I need to check off my list and for the most part they are a little stressful. But at the end of the day, when all i think about is editing and printing my work.... you know that all that stress is worth it. 

I am really excited about this assignment. It is my first time using this camera and software. I think it turned out amazing. I can't wait to show everyone

little sneak peek

this is my first still life assignment. 

this is only a rough edit.... enjoy!
