back into the grind

classes have been going on for about 3 weeks now, and it has been super overwhelming trying to manage 18 credit hours + 11 hours of work a week. luckily i got it cut down to 7 hours a week though, so hopefully my life will become less of a mess soon.

i've been taking 3 english classes, an identity and pluralism class, drawing I, and digital photo. i'm happy with about 1/2 of my classes, but hey you can't win them all, right? drawing has proven to be a little more difficult than i thought it'd be, but i'm getting through it. i'm absolutely ecstatic about digital though. my professor is who i've been waiting for to critique my work. last semester i don't believe i was pushed to my limits. instead, i found myself pushing the limits of my teacher and just crossing my fingers i could get an A.

i had difficulty with our first assignment because i felt like my creative drive was lost. however, since then and since learning about all sorts of camera features i didn't even know existed, my camera is once again glued to my hand. i'm not complaining though, i've missed taking photos that make me proud.

these images are the final product of what i'm going to turn in for my first assignment. the theme was color.
