I think ...I agree with all your friends and family. I think that you should focus on what you want to see inside that viewfinder. Hopefully, you'll learn some new techniques and maybe try to emulate another photographers work, but the result will always be uniquely you. My advice, contemplate your biggest fear look at from all angles and realize that it doesn't own you. Put it in it place, which is anywhere but where creativity exisits – which is everywhere. Remember that art school is supposed to be about "anything goes" as well – you're going to do great!Klayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709669072490695208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-1164061300829861832006-11-20T14:21:00.000-08:002006-11-20T14:21:00.000-08:00thanks for the responses everyone. of course you a...thanks for the responses everyone. of course you are right paul, it would be foolish to only bring past work. the selections i ended up bring to the table were in fact some that were taken in the last two weeks...rain be damned. <BR/><BR/>as for the worry, it was completely unfounded. i wasn't the best or the worst (if one can even quantify such a thing which i am not really sure they can) and in the end it was no big deal at all. i brought work that interested me as did everyone else (including the three guys that only take pictures of architecture) and i was respected all the same.<BR/><BR/>oh and m, that was nice of you to say. i think it might have even made me blush.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526634872181869258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-1164060277171628592006-11-20T14:04:00.000-08:002006-11-20T14:04:00.000-08:00I think you should do a combo of one and two.

I love the one in front of the babluga tank and the great "old man" fish!

Hands down. You do have an artist's eye. You have skill plus talent. Sure, you are using it primarily for beautiful shots of your family or nature, and not "art" infused with irony and "meaning". Like Jennica said, you PAID for this course, you deserve to get out of it what you want to get out of it. I'm very curious to see which of your shots you choose to take.<BR/><BR/>That said, I do like #3 too!mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804113244825043303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-1163894651493024482006-11-18T16:04:00.000-08:002006-11-18T16:04:00.000-08:00It has to be #1...Dont give up, take from the clas...It has to be #1...Dont give up, take from the class exactly what it is you want from it, you can ditch all the technicalities that dont fit your needs... And in the end you will still learn something you didnt already know, lessons in life are good.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296962087580285646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-1163876404579434742006-11-18T11:00:00.000-08:002006-11-18T11:00:00.000-08:00thanks jennica. it will be #1, i just need to find...thanks jennica. it will be #1, i just need to find the confidence somewhere. as for the langara, it occured to be 15 minutes into this class. go figure. i have no idea why but i didn't expect it to be so arty, even though it was at emily carr. strange i know. that will teach me for taking the course description at it's word.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526634872181869258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836819.post-1163873530758675842006-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:002006-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:00The thing is, if it's not #1, then you might as we...The thing is, if it's not #1, then you might as well go ahead and drop the class now, right? I think you should stake your claim in this class-- you have a goal, and you have PAID, and it is completely reasonable for you to expect them to help you achieve your goal... and the snooties can just suck it up.<BR/><BR/>But if it's not that simple? I don't know... maybe take a photography class not at Emily Carr? I have taken a couple of evening classes at Langara and neither was full of snooties...Jennicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951504277632120893noreply@blogger.com
