I just check out Salt's myspace page and blog, awesome. They are finally getting to the vibe that Salt students create when going throught the program. I am in the process of taking Salt into the digital age and the road has been slightly bumpier than I expected. But things are now on track and I feel the faculty's support and confidence which will make this a much better program in the long run. I can't wait to get started in the new space and with our new outlook on documentary work!
I have gotten comments on my thesis draft and am close to finishing my paper. Writing about my work has been an excellent experience. I am closer to being in touch with what I want to say in my photographs than I have ever been. I like taking responsiblity for what I put out in the world and defending it. My advisor Jesseca Ferguson has been incredibly helpful and supportive I couldn't ask for a better advisor. Next up is my power point presentation and creating more work in my series Re-imagine to hang in the graduate show at AIB.
Things at home have been very busy! The Gorham Middle School Tennis team has finished for the season and Kevin left feeling positive and wanting to join next year. What a gift... it has been amazing to see him stick with the team and feel connected to something other than his family. Daniel has one more x-country meet and will be happy to be free after school for a while. I think it was much harder than he expected but he also stuck with it and improved as the season progressed. Harry is still the king of second grade and doing very well in all his work. I am sure soon he will be bored by what the class is doing and need more of a challenge. Until then I think we will let him enjoy all of the positive words coming his way because he is doing so well.
Johnny has begun the processof securing the rights to a novel to produce into a movie he seems born to do this kind of work I hope it works out for him this time. I love that he hasn't given up on his passion, it is such an important part of his identity. I know he will make it work... he's amazing. I love my family they are my reason for being!
Until next time...
