Burning Out, Banjos, and Boston...

I saw Lesley University today, and personally I thought it was really nice: Right next to Harvard Square, down the street from the Middle East (amazing venue for punk/ska/other). Art Institute of Boston, affiliated with Lesley, is right down the street from Fenway Park, Hunts, Newbury Street, BU, and has an amazing photography program=). Not to mention, outside the workshop area of the Institute, you can see the former Avalon and the wall that the Murphys signed the night of the Avalon’s closing. The main problem with Lesley is the location—id like to go out and adventure, maybe live in a new place. I know Boston so well already and I want to venture into uncharted territory.

November 9th is the Boston National Portfolio Day, and I am extremely nervous. It’s basically a review of what I’ve done photo wise, by all of the universities that I plan to apply to.
PRESSURE!

I have compiled a set of photos I like better than others, however I still feel that what I’ve shot so far is basically: mediocre. 12 to 20 pieces of mediocre. I just love it, and I know this is what I want to do; always has been. I just want to be able to make it. Hopefully things begin to meld together soon; Working 13 hours a week, and various extracurriculars (German Club, Editing two sections of the paper and co editing the entire deal for the first issue) is just going to add to the whole college admissions process.

Burning out is NOT an option
