I’m not sure where the time has gone.\u00a0 One minute I’m relaxing and the next thing I know is that Summer is half over.\u00a0 It’s not that I’ve been lazy as my energy has been geared more toward my activities with The Overtime Page and on my day job…\u00a0 it’s just at the end of the day my creative energy seems sapped.\u00a0 I’m going to have to do something about that, starting with a project I’ve been reworking using some new technique I learned about a month ago.\u00a0 I’ll have that up in a few days as it is currently a work in progress.<\/p>\n

As a quick update, I didn’t do as well this semester in the grading department as I would have liked.\u00a0 I received a B- in Color Theory, an A- in Primitive Photography, and an A in Art History Critical Theory, which finished me out with term GPA of 3.447 and a cumulative GPA of 3.668 (through 2 semesters).\u00a0 While that can hardly be considered a bad GPA, I would like it to be better.\u00a0 Obviously the Color Theory grade was the biggest factor in straddling the A-\/B+ realm.\u00a0 That class was something else (long story) and I’m glad to be done with it.\u00a0 I’ve promised myself that I won’t be taking any more “3rd Floor” courses (the 3rd floor is mostly reserved for the Graphic Arts program at UH), but of course we never know what opportunities may present themselves, so onward I push.\u00a0 Next semester I’m going to be taking Traditional Photography (formerly known as Intermediate Photography), which is a film based course, The Aesthetics of Faith (which sounds really cool as it will be taking some Critical Theory and applying it to original creations), and Video Art (a requirement of the Photography\/Digital Media program at UH).\u00a0 I’m going to be a busy little bee come the end of August.<\/p>\n

At this point I really don’t have much more to say.\u00a0 I’m coming out of my creative slump so expect a lot more soon.\u00a0 Have a good night, everyone, and keep tuned for updates on events as they happen.\u00a0 As for now, I’ll leave you with a signature creation from this past semester.\u00a0 This is a Van Dyke print of my Facebook profile photo.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy.\u00a0 Good night.<\/p>\n
