Questions about where I'm headed?!

I did meet with Vaughn last week and it helped tremendously, giving me more direction on what my plans are in the future.  I had initailly been contemplating interning with the local newspaper but with his opinion I have decided against this.

Even though it's not my ultimate goal (photoj) I thought it might open the specturm of my knowledge base but V pointed out that the papers are diffusing as we speak.  My goal is to TEACH and continue with grad school.

Soooooo I'm set for graduation Fall of 2012 and I will use this class to work on the portfolio I will submit to get into the photo grad prgm @ A&M.  I will also use my internship to intern with a college professor, possibly Paul Bryan.

In the meantime as I said I will be working on my outside portfolio outside of my portrait business.  I do love to shoot people and I do have a growing business in Paris that's been going since 2008 but that will not be what I submit to get me into grad school.  So why not use this opportunity and V's cc to help?!

I am still contemplating my series or just what I want to shoot.  I haven't had alot of time to actually shoot what I want in some time.  And I feel like I can't just make that decision over the weekend since I met and talked with Vaughn.

But I will continue to research new contemporary photographers!  Milano gave us a name of a grad student who is based out of Texas to check out.  It was a perfect start to see what others are shooting and what their personal projects mean to them.  Within my research, I hope to figure out what it is that interests me.  I love textures but as V said, I have to come up with some kind of project with depth, meaning, and inspiration!

My charge is to continue to do this throughout the semester!  I will have my one man show @ the local coffee shop here in Paris and it will probably be in Dec so that I have time to start this new project.  I'm excited about the things to come.

Since I already have a business my obvious goal after graduation is to get into grad school.  I want my masters and have since I started back to college 4yrs ago.  I hope to teach some day and I hope it's all in God's time!

Here are a few images I did over the summer........
