Well there goes that semester. These past few months went very quickly and I'm happy to say, I had a great semester. I did not get everything done that I wanted, but I have no idea why I really thought I could anyways. I tend to make more work than time, but that does help me bust my ass, so its a good thing. I did that to the extreme this semester.
Although the semester is over, I have a mountain of work to do before the spring starts. I need to finish my book, refine my website, re-do my presentation, refine older projects for my portfolio, assemble my initial portfolio, make my process journal, and refine parts to my thesis.... then re-shoot ALL of my work. I have 5 weeks to do that, one of them is completely off of work. Fingers crossed I keep up the motivation.
My pre-final presentation went great! Not "great, they loved it, my thesis is perfect", great. But, great as in, I received helpful feedback and it is mostly all parts I knew I needed work on. No surprises or big issues with my project as a whole. Just a LOT of work needs to be done to my presentation/organization of information. It's my weakness. But, the feedback they gave was so good, that I have a lot to work off of to make it better.
Although I won't be done till May, this was my final thesis class. I am not sure if I will keep up my weekly postings, but I will post when I have finished pieces to show. I'm happy to get working on my portfolio in the spring and building up the rest of my freelance business. So my efforts will soon be shifted over to my side work and day job, which will be nice. Hopefully no more spacey, stressed, Missy. :)
I plan on beginning a new blog to compile my images from photography jobs, just with a better blog system.....maybe tumbler. That blog will be used along with my website and will help me market my work. I look forward to doing some creative work that I get paid for.... rather than paying for it :)
In the meantime, here is a sample of images from the wedding I shot last month. Everyone looked amazing, the day was awesome, and Tico (the reception restaurant) did awesome. I hope I get to shoot there again.
