Over the past week I've enjoyed spring break, maybe more than I ever had, probably due to my taking bio this semester.  I've hung out with a lot of good friends, played a lot hacky-sack in some really nice weather and I was able to experience some of HATCH, although not as much as I'd have liked.

               I ordered a large roll of wide format printing paper for my old boss from Ritz to split between us.  We got to hang out at his house for a bit and we made a few 12x18's, good times, made me super excited for the upcoming AB-Tech art show.  Feeling pretty confident about my work but trying not to feel too cocky, I have a tendency towards being falsely sure of myself.

 I have to now decide which of these four photographs to submit, I'm leaning towards the photo to the left and the photo at the very top.  I also really like the bird above, it's a hard choice.  On a side note, I've grown really frustrated with Google's photo interface while trying to insert these photos here... it's not very well thought out.

I went to a reception at a photography gallery downtown the other day and got a lot of inspiration for my art both as a photographer and potter.  I saw a few photographers who I knew and it was interesting talking to them about what photography meant to them and different ways to look at an image.  In the not too distant past I was not very excited about photography like I once was back in the day but being with so many artists and discussing what our art meant to each other helped relight the fire.
