Project hours

I would say that, since I switched gears on what my portfolio is going to consist of to get me into grad school, I spent a total of 15hours give or take last week on my project.  I met with Kara Irwin, the new owners, of the old church/school and they are thrilled for me to start this project.

I took the tour with Kara & her husband and listened to them tell me what history they knew of the building.  It was so amazing that it made me anxious!  I went to the City's genealogy facility to see if I could locate the previous owners of the church/school but have yet to get anywhere with that.

I plan to head to the courthouse & library Thursday to continue this research and will start shooting next week.  The whole portfolio of images will be with 4x5 film.  I CANNOT tell you how freakin excited I am!!!

I just know this is why I went through what I did this semester.  Because I feel happy and right about the decision to do this instead of the original project!
