Bronze

Seeing this really make me miss the summer and the man-made lakes in Irondale. There are many things that I went to school so far away in order to leave them behind- but the sun is not one of those things. I miss the golden brown tone of my skin mixed with the sweat that I would accumulate when I would lay out for hours on end. If there is one thing I know that I am going to do when I return home it is that I will not take the sun for granted. I will get up when it rises and I will bathe in it all day, never missing a moment that it is there to brighten up my day. :)

The images flanking the center image are not quite as strong when alone that I wanted them to be, but I think they still convey a since of direction towards the center.

Although my major is studio resistant, studios strangely feel like home to me. I am not sure how Cara came to be my model for this assignment, but I think all in all her facial features worked well with the simplicity of the assignment. This project was assigned to me on a Thursday and I spit it all out in a 1-6 studio sesh on Friday. The image on the right was reproduced with the sample Butterfly lighting James showed us in class. We also had to replicate five other lighting set-ups.

determination

Come at me! Come at me like a wild fire. I am ready. Spark at me and burn the ends of my clothing. Your lambent jabs at me are working more than you know, but I wont back down. I wont let you take from me what I work everyday to hold on to. I have it in grasp at least by dusk everyday. Even though I cuddle with it throughout the night it is still lost by morning. And everything can drive it away from me, except you. Expect your bitter growl that rumbles at me day to day. So keep coming, keep trying you backbiting fool.
