it's been a long time since i've really posted. now i've only got two weeks yet and once again, i feel myself dragging my heels into the next bout of change. this semester has been... really indescribable.
the chance to be able to experiment wholeheartedly with my work has been a huge gift. the chance to "fail flamboyantly", as dominique nahas told us at the beginning of the semester. i've gotten to know my work so much better, as well as be able to trust the decisions i make. i don't feel like i need to question the things i'm doing as often, at least, not in a negative way. i feel more confident, brave, calm, and happier. i am so grateful for the new amazing friends i've made, for my newfound ability to navigate the new york subways, and the incredible opportunities i've had. i'm thankful for all the support my family has given me even though times are tough, for the friends and family who have visited (and will still be visiting!), and the professors from corcoran who helped me to get here, and the amazing faculty at the new york studio program. i'm appreciative of the more difficult parts of this experience, and how they helped me grow.

i already know i'm going to miss living in new york. i'm already starting to think about moving back, which does seem to be a trend with some nysp students. despite how bittersweet it feels for the semester to be ending, i'm still really excited for upcoming opportunities.

like i said, things are bittersweet, but still really, really good.

my friend took a few photos of my room, i wanted to share them. they seem to fit how i'm feeling lately.

today i went to the whitney. i didn't take too many pictures because there wasn't too much that stuck my fancy. we were sent there to check out the dan graham and conceptual photo exhibits. they gave me some food for thought and it was interesting to see an overview of my last semester in contemporary art in person (de kooning, jasper john, jackson pollock, jeff koon, rauschenberg, and kline).

anyways, i liked this picture of the industrial size elevator i took on my camera phone.

in dumbo, you can always expect to see a photographer (or a set of photographers) taking engagement photos, glamour shots, music videos, etc. here a bride and groom are taking some goofy photos together outside our studio space.

and on the way back from the whitney, me and jordan found a bouquet of flowers in the trash! i can't imagine why somebody would put a bouquet in the garbage, but it made my day!
