50 Hour Slam
This past weekend one of my photographs was featured in an exhibit with other student photographers at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, called 50 Hour Slam. This was the first time my photography has been professionally displayed anywhere, and it was such a neat feeling to be able to see that. It featured a QR code that linked to an interview with me, which allowed viewers to know a little bit more about me as an artist. This experience has really encouraged me to submit my work, and try to get it presented and shown. I've had many opportunities and yet have never jumped on them. I'm only recently starting to be confident in my work, and it's left me with a lot of regrets from not taking advantage of previous chances. With my new found confidence I'm going to make sure I keep up with my blog more often, and submit my work to everything I can possibly submit it too. I no longer worry about whether or not my work "fits" in with other people's work. Throughout showing my portfolio to professional photographers around Spokane, I've gotten a lot of praise and support for my work. The thought, emotion and creativity behind it. It's all so motivating to keep working and not give up and not to let it go to waste.
I plan on doing an entire blog to showcase my work from this shoot but I couldn't have done it without a few wickedly awesome guys from the group Firing Squad! Their visuals and lyrics are very inspiring to me, and adding my brain to their "brainsick" minds can only create some seriously disturbing imagery!
