the critique was pretty fun as usual. heres the breakdown on the most vocal characters: the stupid blond girl and her boyfriend sat in the front row, dead center. i hate them. i really really hate them. they try so hard to be hardcore artists. it bugs the fuck outta me. the boyfriend reads popular photography like its the fucking bible and can tell you anything you want to know about any camera but his photos lack imagination and guts. the chick though just plain sucks. end of story. and yet she has the confidence to comment on everyone else's photos and offer her opinion on how they can be improved. that irks me.

i sat directly behind them with tiffany to my left and jaimey to my right. tiffany is a super extravagant christian freak. it kills me. it would be nice to believe devoutly in something or someone but theres no way in hell id wake up each morning at 5 so i could go to a bible study at 6 in the morning, before school. then she goes at night too. since the day she spotted my cross earings shes wanted to be like my best friend. i said i didnt believe in god but that didnt work. now she wants to save me or something.

then theres jaimey. she rocks. really shes just the coolest. for this critique though she totally wasnt prepared and started freaking out about it. so i, being the great person i am, gave her some negatives i had to print from. it was hilarious to see her make up fake stories for the shots she printed. our teacher really liked um too so that was pretty funny. i wouldnt last the 3 hours without her. together we are one visciously sarcastic combo. i love it.

ah that rant felt good. yeah so the assignment was 5 prints that showed a direct association between the subject and space. the pics i used were taken at a couple anti-war protests and marches held in the vicinity of the greater los angeles area. before you guys rip into um i just want to clearify that i do not consider myself an artist. i dont think ive done anything worthy of that title. and the pics look a hell of a lot better in person. these scans make um look really blocky and dense, especially the police uniforms. ok so theres my disclaimer and heres the pics. critique as you see fit and enjoy
