Have you ever had the experience where you decide to do something and you think it is really awesome but at some point it completely falls apart and you are left at square one again? This happens to me often, and rarely early. Whenever this happens to me it always seems to be at the last minute when the time clock is ticking. Thankfully though, some things turn out better after a little road bump (ok this was a huge freaking road bump).
When my photography teacher told me about our final I was rather excited. It offered us complete artistic range and allowed us to do whatever we wanted as long as it fit into the guidelines of presenting our photography. I am a bit of a nostalgic person so i thought I would use this wonderful opportunity to take pictures of my upcoming family reunion in Montana over the fourth of July. The best part was, I was going to take the whole thing on my brand new (yet very old) film camera, this way I could develop the film and make the prints myself.
Heres where the snag occurred: I completely murdered my film during the developing process and not even half of my roll of film ended up being usable. At this point it is Wednesday and my FINAL project is DUE the following Monday. Not a lot of time to put something thoughtful and well done together. This is when all my creative powers died and I was left to waste away in a ditch somewhere... Not really but I was pretty devastated.
Once I got all my creative powers together I came up with a photo shoot centered around tea parties and gardens. Definitely something whimsical and fun. My lovely model was my roommate Tia. I had a ton of fun putting it together and editing it and almost having a breakdown in Walmart trying to get it printed but in the end it worked out all right.... I got an A! WOo
Now here are a lot of pictures to make up for all the words :)
I hate being in front of a camera but we had to show a little love ;)
