Well, here’s some more good news:
One of the requirements for the Advanced Photography class was to enter our work in an exhibition. I was so busy that I didn’t even want to think about this for the longest time, and ultimately decided to enter a single picture in the semi-annual Photographers’ Forum Magazine photo contest (you’ve seen it already). Not only did I not have to worry about editing the massive body of work I’d been assembling, but the PF Magazine entry cost me a whole $5 and I was done with that requirement.
Of course now that I’m not nearly as stressed out I feel a bit more like submitting to exhibitions, and this has been an encouraging reminder for me. I’m happy to say it’s one of the 13% that go on to the next round and will be judged by a group of college-level photography instructors.
You have a cool blog. I miss shooting in film and developing/printing my own black and white prints. Your posts make me want to resurrect my film cameras and set-up my dark room again. Cheers!
