Hey All,

Ya know, the thing about myself that I'm most proud of...it's my ability to bounce back. In spite of the still persistent rain ensuing here, select other students, the cabin fever among my peers, and the stress of getting ready for our final show...I'm doing quite well.

So...the final show is coming up quite quickly...the semester has truly flown by. Lately I have been spending all hours of the day at school in the print lab or in the wood shop. I am working on this new format for a photograph for my final show...something I'm calling my "Bubble Landscapes". I have been doing my panoramas for quite some time and lately have grown bored with them...and so I wanted to create something new, something that I have never seen before...and so I sat in front of my computer and stared. I sat there for about two hours just flipping from image to image and then sitting back in my seat. It was one of the most horrible days of my life...(art-wise)...in my mind I was tearing my images apart. I hated them, I was angry at myself and at my inability to create something original that no one else could claim to have done...and so that's when I started to manipulate my images into these spheres...it's certainly not the most amazing thing that I've done, nor is it the most exciting new thing to hit the world of art...but it is most definitely the first thing that I have done that is entirely mine.

So we have 9 days till the show...5 until I must be done with all my work...I have some long days and night ahead of me here, but at least you all will get to see the show. I will be sure to post some of my work soon, both the new "Bubble Landscapes" as well as my Large Format Portraits...

All the Best,

Roger
