So I finally got my new computer and can update from home, thank goodness! Last week I discovered how far is too far when it comes to framing options. Usually I am a fan of a clean, clear framing of the photo that won't distract from the content of the work. Well when I was given free reign to do what ever I wanted for the final frame, several thoughts went through my head; should it be just another frame? Should it work along with the content or concept of my work? Clearly I did not do a very good job of interpreting these questions into a successful frame. If anyone has any suggestions, or if you think I should just do a clean frame, lemme know!

I'm having a little trouble when it comes to uploading photos for this blog. I have wanted to put photos up here but the site keeps telling me my files are corrupt. So I'll keep trying, but until then, bear with me...

I am sad to say that the snow has slowed me down quite a bit. I only have one roll of film taken since the last review, as well as a few digital shots that could possibly work. I am a bit nervous but due to the snow I haven't been able to drive all the way out to my nearest cord camera to pick up more film, nor have I been able to venture out with any of my cameras otherwise in this weather.

So my plans for the rest of the quarter is to shoot shoot shoot. I would like to take 3 to 5 more rolls of film with the Mamiya. I really like the photos I am getting with this method and I think I may have found a few that are definitely going to be in my DAAPworks; which is SO exciting for me! So over the last few weeks, I want to finish up shooting. When I have finished shooting and scanning my film in, I want to focus on choosing the final photos that best describe my concept. During this process, that I'm sure will lead into next quarter, I will decide on the final size, or sizes, of my photos, and how to frame them. This quarter has definitely given me some incite on those things that I will be considering soon.
