Here are the final pieces for Project I. This was my first class assignment so I was pretty excited throughout the whole thing. I’ve been given 5 projects to complete for the semester, and although I’m neither a photo major or minor, I intend to take these projects very seriously and decided to make them the main focus of my blog updates from now until May.

So, let’s talk about Project I! I was asked to shoot a series of 8 photographs representing an “everyday experience.” The experience could be something as mundane as watching television to more complex situations like relationships. In response to all the attention that the legalize marijuana movement received in 2010, I decided to do my series on smoking.

There are 9 photos below that are split between direct references to smoking and more conceptual interpretations. The whole series consisted of nearly 700 sample photos and a little over 15 hours of editing.

Disclaimer: Please note that this photo series is not made to be a representation of me or anyone pictured in the photographs. This was made for artistic purposes only. No illegal substances were consumed in these photographs.

So I managed to shoot the 8 required photos for my photo class in a week’s time…

The final pieces and the details behind the project will be going online sometime this week!

It’s almost presentation day for my class, and I finally have all my stuff together. I mentioned last Thursday about being incredibly behind, but I somehow managed to get everything together in time (with the help of some great friends!)

There’s nothing more attractive to me than a girl with no make up.

1. I have 3 days to finish my first photo project for class and I’m not even halfway through yet.
2. The only time I have available in my schedule to print my work is Thursday (today), and campus is closed.
3. My tripod is broken as of 2 days ago.
