So this is my photo in the gallery, isn't it exciting? And that's me, yay! I don't think I've posted a picture of me besides my little identification picture. Anyways, I just thought I would put this online because it's exciting. I got to go Saturday to see it and I'm going again this weekend with friends from school. So it's making me feel more confident about my pictures. However, I felt like my picture did not fit in at all. They got like 325 entries and only chose 60 and they chose mine. But I felt like all the other ones were very similar and mine stuck out like an oddball. But it still made me happy to see it on the wall! :) I ended up titling it "Determination" because I found this site online that explained how to title photos for galleries. I don't know, Alex, Noreena and Kate helped a lot. Kate and Noreena have been helping a lot with everything. I always ask them which ones to put in the Scarlet or on my blog or whatever else. But everyone has been really supportive in general. Especially my parents too :) which is good. I feel like it's brought us closer in a way. Because they always went to a lot of sports games and Ange's obviously and now I've been going with them or we've been talking about it. And I find it random that the two sports I ended up shooting the most are soccer and basketball which are both sports Ange played. But I really like soccer the best still. Even after shooting all these different sports I still prefer it.
And this other one is another photo I submitted that didn't make it into the show. However, since it's all nice and framed we decided to hang it up in our room :) It's above Kate's bed. But it looks very nice there and it makes me happy. I was thinking about framing a few more pictures and hanging them at the library over the summer or something. But I guess we will see. I don't know how interesting my sports pictures would be to other people and I don't have that many other ones. But it's a chance to hang them somewhere, they do it all the time and they know me so it's even better. I don't know. I just am getting really excited about all these possibilities and then I wonder if it's what I even should be focusing on. I know it's not my major so I'm not sure. But I really like doing it. For now I guess I'll continue on and try to balance everything out :)
Yay Liz! I loved going to your gallery with you and your family on Saturday. I'm so proud of you and really think that your pictures are all amazing. I'm always happy to help you with anything with your photos, and it makes me feel special that you value my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteI am sad I did not get to see the gallery, but this kind of makes me feel like I was there :) lol. I think that is a fitting title of your photo, though. yay. I look forward to seeing your sports photos in the Republican :) because it will happen. I decided.
ReplyDeleteI am going to pretend that we went to your gallery. Because yes, it is your gallery now. And I absolutely think that you should hang your photos in the library. I will mention it to Cynthia! And then I can help you hang them up and stuff. Oh, it will be great fun. Ok? Ok. It's a plan.
