mid-year senior reflection

1) Which walkabout assignments have you completed so far?

I have completed my final draft of my walkabout proposal and my rough draft of my walkabout research paper. I have not presented yet.

2) If you have not completed all of the assignments, what obstacles have you faced in getting the work done?

I procrastinate. That's the biggest obstacle.

3) Which aspect(s) of walkabout are you most excited about? Why?

I am excited about continuing my previous work with Gene Bradford for walkabout because he can still teach me more. I'm excited that I am able to finally put a real photography gallery together. It gives me a chance to put myself out there and get known. I am (slowly) starting to become more independent.

4) In what ways will you be taking significant risk during walkabout?

I will be taking risks by putting together my gallery almost entirely by myself. I have the final say of which pictures go in. I will be interviewing curators and getting ideas of how to get things done for my gallery.

5) What support would you like to have during your walkabouts, from school, home, friends, a mentor, etc.?

I would just like to be left alone. I don't want questions asked about progress...I already feel like I have a huge weight on my shoulders and it sucks. I would like my friends to be happy for me and not criticize me. I want my mentor to help me along the way.

6) Please write yourself a narrative for your english credit for 1st semester seminar. Describe why you are EE, ME, AE, or JB.

I am either at an AE or a JB for first semester seminar. Maybe that will change when I turn in my proposal and research paper in. But I missed a few seminars. Just wasn't motivated enough to get out of bed. I hope I'd get an ME after I turn that stuff in and present.

7) Please write yourself a narrative for your 1st semester experiential site work and weekly seminar. Describe why you are EE, ME, AE, or JB.

For experiential, I'd hope to get an ME or EE for a grade. I think, as a photographer, I have made tremendous progress. My work is "art now", from what Gene and Jen say. I know more techniques on photoshop 3.
