I suppose I should start by introducing myself. My name is Bugs. I am from Charleston. I now live in Chicago, where I go to school for photography, at Columbia College. I am only eighteen and am in the process of figuring out who I am. The rest of me will come with time.
As of now, I just finished classes for the week. Despite the three day school week I have this semester, however, I believe I will have a nice workload. I am taking Photography II, Darkroom II, Writing and Rhetoric II, History of Art II, and 2D Design-- three of which require final projects. (The photography final is a book of 20 color photography-- I actually get to make a book!!) Both of my photography professors seem knowledgeable, demanding, and just plain awesome. So basically, while it may be hectic, it will be a fun semester. Exciting!!
And I get to do color photography!! I've been looking at Edward Burtynsky's work lately, and it has made me excited to do color photography. He focuses on man's impact on the world, taking shots of scarred landscapes-- what he calls "Manufactured Landscapes." I've always been interested in damaged, or destroyed, or abandoned buildings and places.
