Yesterday night was the pre-portfolio review for the photography program at ASU. In order to advance to upper division and continue with photography as a major, you have to submit a portfolio of 10-15 images and be accepted. Here's what I came up with. The scans of these are really crappy...the paper was still flattening so that's why the borders look all wonky. I don't know why, but the tones are off on some of them as well. They look better in person, I swear! haha At least I hope they do :P
Anyways...so I was super super super nervous to go. Steve was nice enough to come with me..thank goodness he did because they were so brutal to everyone! The professors were just unleashing it all onto students. After they'd speak about someone's work, the person would take all their stuff down and scram out of the room! After some rough critiques I got the courage and put my stuff up. They said they really enjoyed my printing! That was a huge relief because they were really hard on almost everyone about printing quality. So that was a huge weight off my shoulders. But then they said that they couldn't see a theme and that some didn't work because I centered the subjects. Kind of sucked. Buuutttt I'm going to shoot and print like a freaking mad insane person and whip out a fantastic portfolio before March 1st!!!!
I might die.
