End of RMSP :(

The end of summer is here and it is very sad. We've been super busy with all our projects and its made the last few weeks fly by. I have gotten a lot done though. I went to Glacier National park (finialy!) which was beautiful. It was pretty funny for me because I have never really done the great American national park camping trip. There were so many RV's and they were all fully loaded with every convenience. I'm not really sure what the point was for them to be out in the woods, it seems like they would've been happier in a vacation house. We only had a little tent and were very proud of ourselves when we got camp set up since we were not overly-experienced campers but we were a bit disappointed when some guy came up to us and informed us that our campsite was reserved and we had to leave. I never heard of such a thing! Guess we missed the reserved sign on our site, anyway we threw our tent poles (attached) into our car and by some stroke of luck found the last camp sight in the entire park! We packed up camp in no time and passed out. Did some hiking up to a lake surrounded by waterfalls and had a great day seeing the sights. Back home in Missoula, life was a bit more crazy, I was scrambling to get 5 different projects done while still going to class for 6-12 hours a day! In the end I got it all done and it turned out ok. I also got the film back from my holga (my cheap plastic camera) and got some pretty cool shots! I've been packing all day and have one left tomorrow to relax before coming home. Its been a fun, educational, stressful, quick, long, and memorable summer. As always I'm happy I did it and am ready for my next adventure. Hope you've all enjoyed this blog. Goodbye.

Two weeks left and lots to do!

I only have two weeks left and I am super busy! I have a good 4-5 finial projects I am working on including a business plan that is due tomorrow. (I'm on page 10 right now) I'm getting really excited to see everyone and I am racking my brain with ideas on how to make money with photography when I get home to start paying back some bills. I've gotten some pretty good ideas from my lighting class. We learned how to shoot portraits outside with harsh daylight and strobes. (Its probably the worst lighting you can have) Once again we had to pick a theme for the shoot so we went to goodwill for inspiration. I picked out a horrible late 80's nylon sweat suit and was gonna do for the Zack Morris look but when I showed Sue (one of my partners) she laughed and said I looked like one of her ex-husbands. I joked that we should do Sue with her ex-husbands which was funny...then we decided it wasn't a bad idea. (Sue is a really good sport!) The pics turned out great, take a look. Don't really have too many new photos though, been to busy + I have been shooting a lot of film and haven't gotten it developed yet...soon though. I did post some pics that I like but ner put up before so check them out, Later!
