Now & Then - Behind the scenes

The quarter is almost over and I'm finishing up the images for the continuation of Now & Then. I thought it would be fun to show some pictures of during the shooting. I had a lot of help from my friends and family, especially my mom who was an awesome assistant and my dad and stepmom. Even though it was stressful I still had a lot of fun.

Now & Then Part 2012

Now & Then is a project that began in 2012 for my location class. It is a self portrait project about growing up and dealing with change. At the time when I started this project I was very confused about who I was and this was basically a way to get to know myself again and figure it out. I was very inspired by Irina Werning and her Back to the Future project. Now almost two years later I am continuing on with this project and will be presenting new pictures soon when the quarter is over. 

April on Film 2014

A few exciting and not so exciting things happened this month but I feel like it went by slow and fast at the same time. Some days ended really quickly and others just took forever. First, I moved into my new studio even though technically I moved in in March I didn't unpack or settle in until April because I was on break. 

Second, sadly my rat Monty passed away while I was home over break. I was really upset and it was probably the worst school break I have ever had but I'm just happy I was able to be with him until the end and my dad and I were able to bury him in the backyard next to my cat Peewee.

Some positive news though is that I ended up getting another rat because living by myself can get lonely and I was really missing Monty. Even though it felt too soon I couldn't resist and I adopted Bartleby. He is a lot more energetic then Monty and is definitely more comfortable exploring, being on my floor, and running around my apartment. He is also super nice, cuddly, and a big goofball. 

I think other then that not much has been going on except school and working on projects for class. Like usual it has been super busy and super stressful but in the end I'm still having a great time doing what I love.
