Post dedicated to Magida



So I've been busy getting ready for the upcoming show. Portfolio printing, making the book, getting the photos ready to print, matting the polaroid piece, etc etc and etc.. :P Busy busy busy. But, in a week and a half it'll start to die down. That will partly suck. I'm not looking forward to having a bunch of free time on my hands.

Anyways, for those of you who don't already know about the upcoming show:

ARTIST TALK SCHEDULE

April 17th to 24th Debut of PUSH/PULL, the magazine imagined,
created, and produced by SPAO students.
PUSH/PULL MAGAZINE LAUNCH

Launch Date: April 17th 15:00-21:00

A magazine created, produced and imagined by the students
at the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa

The Level 3 students of SPAO have helped create a space where photo-graphy can be showcased outside the walls of the school with the creation of PUSH/PULL. A process driven project that results in an annual, theme based magazine made up of images and text created by the Level 2 students of SPAO. Issue #1 theme is BEGINNINGS which is depicted throughout a well designed tangible piece of art.

I'm super excited for the show. But at the same time I don't want it to come, because that means that school is almost over. I don't know what I'm going to do after.. So far just stay at my part-time job at Rainbow. Sucks. I was hoping by the end of the two years at SPAO I'd have at least a bit of a plan, a path to go down.. But I don't feel I've found it yet. So I feel just as lost, if not more so than I did before. I guess the only difference is, everything I've learned and experienced during these two years, and the fact that I'm slowly becoming comfortable with not having any plans or knowing what I'm going to do with my life. I'm young, only 21. There's still plenty of time, and experiences to be had before I figure things out. It's still just frustrating not knowing where to go, what to do, how I'm going to make a living.. Lost.
Oh well. It will be figured out eventually.
Now I must be off to school and then Sooters! Whoot.

Aww. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Maybe contact some photographers you like and assist? Or send your portfolio around to potential clients.

A girl in my class that is contacting some local musicians to see if they want new album art.

The show looks great, wish I could make it!

Hope all is well.
