Monday, May 26th, 2008The store is closed for now. Thanks to those who have purchased prints! You’ll be receiving them soon!!
Until I find a suitable and somewhat affordable print lab in the city, printing will be on hold.
Options options.. Now that I’ve graduated decisions bombard me.. get a job I really want or travel and live a little?
If I work, I’ll gain valuable experience and be financially stable for the time being.. I don’t really like living dollar to dollar. It just does not work right for me.
I’ve looked at residencies abroad but ultimately feel I do not have enough work yet for me to apply. Some places in Asia look so tempting!
So far.. a job is in sight…

Art School Series by Matthew Monteith
There will be over achievers and there will be under achievers.
I am a self-diagnosed workaholic. Therefore being in a typical big university, I fall into the crack of never having a “life”, always in studio, and never able to get “shitfaced.” There have been moments where I wish I were sitting out in the sun and just enjoying the time.. but I also really enjoy being in studio. There’s two weeks until May 3rd, the big night of the senior photo majors, the big shebang a la Delavan Art Gallery.
I’ve been preparing my series for basically for the past year and a half and for some people in the class to pull (pardon the french) shit outta their ass in two weeks, makes me fume. Every hour awake, I’ve been thinking about the show, in the darkrooms, in the labs, in front of computer screens, and working away. They say, “Jane, you should get some sun. But wait.. can I waste half an hour of your time repeating something you’ve repeated many times before in Photoshop?” Right, I sound like a complete bitch now. Lending a hand is what I do and like to do.. holding a hand is not what I do.. especially if I explained something more than five times.. They should be the ones shitting their pants with the work that’s ahead of them…and don’t tell me how to feel.
Sure we all have different work ethics.. but if someone complains to me one more time about how much work they have to do, they should realize that hours spent at the bar or sunbathing could be put to better use.
This probably all due to stress but certainly something that’s been pent up for years here in college. People don’t know how to troubleshoot anymore.. experimenting to find solutions seem like a thing of the past. It’s all about fast and easy solution.. no hard work to deal with. Do people not want to learn anymore? Does it take that much brain power? Where’s their drive?
On the happier note, after consulting with every professor and mentor.. I came up with my own edit of 15 images for the show. It feels good to have made some decisions.. now onto coming up with a good title.
Play nice

Over the past week, I’ve received gigantic amount of traffic from a couple of blogs (Conscientious and NYMPhoto) linking my gallerina post. While I hope many people can understand the problems, I also wished there was a discussion formed from the post. But being completely unaware I had a buggy problem with comments, no comments were posted. Anyways, it’s all fixed now. So, if you have any thoughts, please leave me a note.
I do find it interesting how some prominent female photo bloggers are not initiating into the conversation.
Let me get back to some head-scratching decisions. Edit thumbnails down to 15 images for my thesis show.
