a shot from my color technique class assignment

i'm still pretty used to composing in black & white so this first assignment was a little cumbersome for me, but i believe it pretty much exists for that same reason. i'm already getting some ideas for future projects in this class, i just hope they take form well.

something always present to weigh me down

winter break is over and now is back to bihness, scanning lots of negatives, workload hasn't started yet but it'll be much appreciated since i'm getting bored.
didn't want break to be over, actually i can't wait for spring break to come.

after scad ended i took a flight to visit my godparents, one of them is mentally ill and there has been a steep gap between now and the last time i saw him. it’s not a nice picture, nobody wants to be in this position. they're a little bit old for the typical godparent but they have meant so much to me and it eats me inside just to think that in his best days i was too young and naive to understand some things. even if almost none of his sentences make sense to this time and space, i feel like i’ve got to know him even better.

people know i was over there, but i never imagined the specific persons that would be concerned with what i've experienced. it has been an incredible learning experience on an emotional state that has definitely defined me even more. i took photographs with the nikon f, the camera he gave me some years ago, now i have to debate if i’ll wait for next quarter to develop them or buy the chemicals myself.

all of this is releasing emotions i’d rather keep to myself, but the only thing i could verbalize is that it puts me in a position where i could care less about anything else and it just feels selfish to do so.
