I found out today that I am going to be a Teaching Fellow for Drawing I during the Summer I session here at UNT. I'm excited that I got the job, but TFs are different from TAs in that they have to make their own syllabi, projects, grade rubrics, etc. I'm excited about the opportunity and the challenge (this class will have a lab 4 hours a day for ( Read more... )

I hope that goes well for you! Sometimes a new challenge will help you discover other aspects you never knew about yourself (or what's out there).

Bookmaking project. I'm curious to know what it is you're working on that. It is related to your photography work or a whole other entity?

Good luck with everything. Try not to stress out so much!

Thanks I appreciate the kind words! It'll definitely be an experience to get thru it all. haha

The bookmaking project is kind of linked... it's about the dynamic of my boyfriend's family in which there is him and three step brothers. They are a very "Texas" family and I realized this after finding incredible hunting pictures where the kids were super young. I decided to focus the book project on themes of masculinity, strength, growing up male in a family of males, etc. I'll photograph it when it's done. I"m really excited about it and despite the fact that going crazy, I'm still thrilled to be doing that project!

The bookbinding project sounds rather fulfilling and, personally, insightful than some general subject matter. I'd love to see it when you get to photograph it!

this is pretty cool. congrats. if the "thin" internship would happen to come through, will you have to choose between them, or is the timeline such that you could do both? i hope it is.

i'm going to apply for the internship, but for next summer. i have too much planned for this summer already. :)

excellent. i was afraid you might have to make a difficult choice.
