Every time I go to Basic Photo, I always seem to find myself repeatedly running the saying "that which does not kill us makes us stronger" through my head. At first I thought my professor was just tough, but now I'm pretty convinced that she has some sort of vendetta against me for no apparent reason. I had a problem shooting my event assignment over the weekend and only five pictures came out, so I asked her if I could re-shoot it. When I told her what happened, she lowered her forehead between her crossed arms on her desk and yelled a muffled "I hate photography!" I think she was joking, but I'm never sure with her. She then asked me, "Well what do YOU think? Do YOU think I should give YOU the benefit of the doubt because your camera isn't working?" and said I had until Thursday to finish like everyone else. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but she's given so many other people extensions due to camera problems and general cluelessness that I think I should get one too. Is that asking too much? I've talked with people in other classes who've said that their professor has let them re-shoot several times, as well. A few times my professor even told me to help some classmates out with their OM-10 issues because clearly I'm extremely knowledgeable about repairing thirty year old film SLRs, and when I diagnosed the problems and explained how to fix them, she proceeded to let those people re-shoot and turn in their assignments the next week. Now I have to find and shoot an event, develop film and make three prints by 6pm Thursday. Thankfully I only have one class tomorrow! I really want to shoot the mini-zombie march but that's in Roxbury/Dorchester and I don't feel safe going there at night, so I'll probably be lame and shoot a Farmer's Market or the Great Debate instead.
The student animations from the Vancouver Film School on YouTube are motivating me to keep learning 3-D stuff in hopes that some day I'll be skilled enough to make something the same caliber as these students' works. My favorite so far is "Guernica," a surreal journey through art works by Picasso, Dali, Van Gogh and others, set to Duran Duran's "The Chauffeur."
I made another simple picture after following a tutorial on how to model an opaque goblet, and it ended up looking nothing like the tutorial because I got bored and spiced it up a bit. I've got a lot to learn, haha. Cheers? :P
