Mollie Schaidt- Week 2 update

This week I read about 40 pages into book for class. I am really enjoying it! It is a very easy read but makes a lot of good points that I have actually been thinking about. What I read gave me insight on Editions, and how to lay out a portfolio-- not diluting the impact of my series with weaker photographs to make a image count for class. As well as taking a step back from my work to be able to choose the stronger portfolio-quality images. After reading the section about the artist statement, I am deciding to edit my statement in a few areas where I think it could be stronger.

I am taking part of the research symposium this weekend for photo, and I am excited. I am working on framing and matting my photos tomorrow.

I am planning to take photos next weekend. It has been a struggle to get a free moment to travel back home to shoot. I am working on getting a new camera by the end of the month. Since my current one has been giving me some trouble-- plus I need to upgrade.

Week 1 Update - Jenn Armstrong

Hello all!

This semester I am looking at expanding my last series of street photography in NYC. I took a trip there in December and I plan to use some in my final project. I want to show the unique and unpredictability of the city. I am planning a trip up in the beginning of March for a couple nights. Until then I am working on the last photos I took and sorting through them and working on my website.
I have also recently put up my photos in the Exposure Gallery. Also I am getting my photos framed and ready for the symposium. :)

I will post some photos of my last trip in a couple weeks when I finish more!

Mollie Schaidt- Weekly Update 1

Hello all,

I ordered my book and it says it shipped so I am waiting for it to arrive. I am planning a trip to shoot photos next weekend. In the meantime I have been applying for shows, workshops, and grants basically whatever I can find.

I have been looking more into Grad programs and scheduled a grad tour for Pratt during spring break. I have been looking into SPE (Society for Photographic Educators) Conference that is being held March 1-4 in Philadelphia. I am still planning out the details if I can attend or not. I am currently in the process of redoing my "main book" from last semester so I can show it at the conference along with my portfolio. 

This class I wanted to utilize my time by:

- working on expanding my current body of work.

- making a website

- making a second set of business cards, postage, and promotional items

- continue applying for shows, workshops, grants, etc.

- looking into Grad schools

- possibly make more books
