(continuation of previous post)

it was like a mini saturday night live

we would make skits and parodies of people and events from school

oh, and lots of weird news stories

lots

◊ me thoughts

when i was a kid i found a tape recorder in my basement

i went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of tapes

me and my friends pretended to have a radio show and recorded our voices

we made fake advertisements and news stories

then we would listen to it over and over

then i got a video camera that took dvds

we could finally see ourselves instead of listening to it

every time there was a birthday i’d bring it and we would film something

mostly, we would make fun of people from school

this was during middle school and i remember the “popular” girls would spray tan themselves and they would be orange

so we made fun of them by putting orange make up on and acting stupid

i would never be in front of the camera, i think i was mostly the camera person

and sometimes i would film my friends even though we weren’t doing anything

i think i just wanted to record EVERYTHING so i would remember, so i would look back on them

but i actually haven’t looked at them in really long time

they are sitting in my drawer in my room

developed film today

though i accidentally developed a roll of color film

it was from over the summer when i went to california…

i was kind of mad… though i don’t really care

maybe i can try to print them as black and white prints?

though they are really dark and might come out completely grey

ugh stupid me

though i’m happy with the black and white film i developed

they came out nice

(no grammer really applies to this post)
i keep getting sick
first i have an infection, then i have a fever, now i have a painful head ache and body aches that won’t go away
i’m loving school though, last weekend i shot a whole roll of my self portrait for class
i didn’t feel the need to do more than 1 roll :/
though the negatives came out pretty well, i hate looking at weird pictures of myself
i don’t usually take an “artistic” portrait of myself haha
that was the weekend where i had a terrible fever and i took a couple pictures of myself sleeping in bed
i think that really represents me, (hehe) i just hope my teacher doesn’t think they are crap
on the first day people brought in their portfolios of recent work they have done
i sort of felt at the bottom because everyone knows how do shoot with digital pretty well
i only know black and white and color film… i’m not really sure how to work with digital, but we will be learning that in the spring
though i do have a little bit of an advantage, many of them have no idea how to work with film, like developing it and printing it
i’ve been doing that forever! i just haven’t been challenged enough when actually taking black and white photos, but i know i will be awesome at it this year and years to come
back to the portfolio reviews, from my point of view she seemed to be liking a lot of their portfolios and i was really nervous because i just had a few pictures in an envelop. one girl had her photos made into a book, and others had theirs in actual portfolios
the teacher was complimenting them saying that some where surprising, or stunning
when she got to mine she looked at ones longer than some. i put in my strongest ones, and a few weak ones that i knew she wouldn’t like very much, and ones that were kind of eh. i did it on purpose to see what she was say, and she liked the ones that i liked, and didn’t like the ones i didn’t like. she said that i do have a very good understanding of black and white ad she did like the black and white ones the most. the photo of the tree i posted on here, that looks kind of purple and washed out. it received over 400 notes and i was curious so see was she would say.(i know tumblr shouldn’t judge wether a picture is awesome or not, i was just curious.) she said it looks soft, and most of my photos look soft and dream like, especially that one. to be honest i have no idea what it is about that picture that everyone likes, yes it is very pretty. but i took it with a point and shoot camera with very colorful saturated film on a very dim lit afternoon at the park. i wasn’t really thinking that it would come out to be a very pretty picture, i thought it would be underexposed and wouldn’t be able to be printed. thing is, she figured out why all my other pictures look they way they do. she was kind of like a psychic. she told my friend, sam, that in one picture sam took, she got this feeling she was stressed while taking it. sam said, “wow… yeah i was…”
i thought i had a really bad review, or one that wasn’t as good as the others.
the kids that are in that class share other classes with me, so i over hear them saying that they find her scary, or she gave them an insulting review. this one girl loves shooting pictures of architecture, and she stated that in the review, but as the teacher looked at her photos she said that “oh really? i couldn’t tell”. she was upset about that. as for other kids they were upset about little things she told them. the only bad thing i got out of mine, was that “my people in my photos look out of place or uncomfortable.” which i agree. i’m a newbie when it comes to portraiture. i really want to learn how to do it well though.
i remember when she did compliment me on some of my black and white photos i wasn’t sure if i should say “thank you” or not. i didn’t want to seem pretentious, i just wanted to listen. i just nodded my head in agreement and smiled. which i hope didn’t make me seem like a jerk.
it was only the first day and i thought about those minor things. and some people felt a little discouraged. i’m not really worried though. i’m at school to learn new things and i’m finally doing things i enjoy. i shouldn’t be discouraged or worried at all. i’m just going to put my best talent forward and i have all these great ideas. i can’t wait for the rest of the year!
