Job Interview

I have a job interview at Imaging Spectrum on Friday at 1:00 p.m. I am excited about this interview. Imaging Spectrum is a digital supply company. They sell printers and things related to photography. The job I am interviewing for sounds interesting and like something I would enjoy doing. I am hoping that the person interviewing me finds me interesting. Especially since I haven't had too much luck on the job front. As much as I love grilled cheese sandwiches I would like to be able to buy more groceries. 

So as far current photography I just finished an environmental self portrait series. The images turned out very nice. I will add a few examples on here. I might even put a link to my flickr account. 

My next project I intend to continue is my family portrait series.  For anyone that reads this that doesn't know me I received the Degolyer Award last year from the Dallas Museum of Art. Unfortunately, because of my busy schedule with school I haven't been able to invest the time into it that I have wanted. So I am finally able to start on it again. I am taking the work into a new direction. I am going to start shooting in black and white. My goal is to make at least 15 final B&W prints. I want to print them 16x20. I originally planned to shoot them with a medium format camera. Although, I have been brainstorming where I see this project going and I think it might be better to stick with my 35 mm Film SLR. It will also make it more affordable and time efficient. I will continue to write about this project as it comes along. I want to do some more inspiration research. I might post some artist links and examples to show what I have found. 

Here are some of the self portraits from my recent series:

Climbing the Ladder

So the past month and a half has been kind of rough on me. I am finishing up my last semester of college. I am looking forward to working full time and having a break from school. I decided at the end of last semester that I wasn't going to go back to the photo lab because I would have more hours available so I could find a full time job. I suppose in my mind everything panned out. Unfortunately, I didn't find a job as quickly as I hoped. I am finally getting some more interviews. But it's been a dark time for me recently. I am saying here that by the end of this month I will have found a job. Not just any job but the job for me. I want this blog to be a place where I can talk about photo related things. So if you are interested in me and my photography feel free to have a look around.
Some things I have been thinking about for the future:
Starting my own art gallery/darkroom/studio space
Graduate School
Overseas travel
Starting an artist collective and mentoring younger less experienced artists about getting their work out there and other issues, host workshops
Make an art zine/podcast
Become a name in the photography world that people recognize
