My first almost real day
I am spending the next 3 and a half weeks at Pratt Intitute's pre-college program. It feels like college in someways, probably as close as I'll get before I actually do go to college. I'm planning on going to an art school so it'll probably be somewhat normal that we have homework that is like well art related.
The elective course that I am taking is photography, which is awesome because that is what I want to actually major in, but probably not actually at Pratt, because it's a really large school (by my standards).
My homework assignment today was to shoot two rolls of black and white film.
One was supposed to be used to show the use of aperture and depth of field and the other was supposed to show shutter speed and motion. I'm not too confident that I actually tried when I got to the shutter speed roll of film.
My foundations class does not seem too bad, it just seems like we are going to be doing some ordinary stuff and some really not ordinary stuff, apparently we ate making figures out of wooden skewers. I feel like half of our group little to no real experience in art and the other half does and they are confident in their work, I have no clue where I really am at at this point but I have a feeling that I'm probably somewhere in theiddle if that's is at all possible.
The only reason I'm awake right now is that y roommate is working on his homework with some other kid in our room and they are doing some kind of film project. I hope to be able to go to sleep, in a bed, pretty soon after I finish wiriting this because I don't really want to keep writing my eyes are starting to heard and I need sleep.
I can't wait to explore the city some more manhattan and Brooklyn. I also am really happy to discover that the one other guy in my class also actually knows about Lomography also.and so does my roommate. I hope to be asleep at this time tomorrow.
