Me too, actually. I just need to find a way to expand the final point I'm making, add in a conclusion and I'll be done.

Except for the citation of sources, which is a pain.

Haha. I have a ton of paperwork, outlines, and an outline/diagram with various articles all pinned up on my walls around my computer, but nothing written yet.

I have a couple of weeks though.

Citations are lame, yeah. Luckily this is basically all personal analysis so I dont need any in-text citations.

Just have to link Arbus and Frank to modern commercial photography and tie it in with a really pretentious conclusion about social responsibility and societal guilt.

I'm in high school, so I just bloat my paragraphs and my teacher carelessly scans my paper to see if I did the writing. If I did, I get an A, despite my writing.

I only did that with certain profs. I couldn't get away with it in my last high school but in my first one I could and it was hilarious.

I should be fine with this because yeah, professional photography =/= writer.

And wtf is with United Colours of Benetton ads...one of them is just a bunch of penises and vaginas and the other one is a starving african kid holding a doll.

I have no idea what kind of grade I'm going to get for this writing, but it'll be interesting to see.

I can't get away with that at all.

Same here.

[QUOTE=Behemoth_Rules_All;15414589]I can't get away with that at all.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but what you're studying is almost exclusively technical.

Generally on really long essays my lit teacher will just check to see if we did them, but I've began bullshi[size=2]t[/size]ting other essays for class and I'm getting a little ahead of myself. They really make it too easy though - at least they can check what the hell I'm writing about rather than dismissing it once they see a few constructed paragraphs.

Not necessarily. Sometimes they give us a lot of leeway to pick subjects that are completely subjective. We just have to somehow relate it to the actual technical subject at some point.


This one is actually for music business class, and I have to relate it to that at some point, but anything other than that is fair game. Theoretically, I could fill the essay with a bunch of bullshit, but it wouldn't fly with the instructor. That, and since it's something I'm actually interested in, I wouldn't want to bullshit anyway.

I just want to do some photography that isn't "take a picture that uses shape and texture". I want to do actual photography, commercial or artistic, not this bullshit. I dont want to write a research paper on why Diane Arbus' voyeuristic photography was relative to her event-less childhood and I don't want to talk about dick-filled advertisements.

The best part is I've been so consumed by this essay that my contact sheet that's also due tomorrow won't be finished in time, unless of course I take the final shots on my way to school (which I might do).

that's why I don't want to take any art classes

[QUOTE=Lunch;15414605]that's why I don't want to take any art classes[/QUOTE]

It's not even an art class, it's supposed to be an intro to digital imaging for the journalism field. Why the **** we're doing this basic elementary bullshit for 7 weeks is beyond me.

Cocaine is a helluva photographer already. Have they taught you anything new/useful?

are you gonna cover modern black metal?

what is the paper about anyway? is it about the history of the music or the history of the industry related to the music?

hey, trickled brown eyes
you've got blues in yr hair

You're going to school for journalism? I've always been intereted in journalism, but it'd be a fallback in case my culinary scholarship doesn't come through. Is this photography course maniditory for journalism?

For me it's mandatory, yeah. It's a media studies program, and journalism is my major. This is sort of an introductory course; those in the Image Arts major continue on this path while it's optional from this point on for me.

The music and it's history. I simply have to relate it to music business or the industry in one form or another at some point.

Yes, I am going to touch on modern BM (the ill-defined 3rd Wave of BM). The major problem for me is the amount of material from the second wave I have to/want to cover.

I would've loved to major in something like visual arts but the college idea of art school is ridiculous bullshit and I would never take those classes

I wish I could remember that photographer who uses disposable cameras. He shot for SI and everything but his ****ing name escapes me.

Well, I've got a Neotek proficiency and a major ProTools class tomorrow. Goodnight all. :wave:

what's wrong about it?

if i ever go to uni, i'll probably do something in graphic design and/or music.

Man, it's nearing 1:00 and I'm not even tired. :( Not good.

Almost 4 here.

And I have 6 hours of class tomorrow.

The one thing I am looking forward to post-high school is class times. This 8:00-2:30 schedule is annoying.

nearly 6 here

pm, that is.

nearly 4 am here, but I don't have **** to do tomorrow

Finished the essay. Now I can get a few hours of sleep (dont have class 'till 12:40, thankfully). Get up at like 930-10, proof read this, fix it up and print it. Take some shots on my way to school, edit them in class, then take a nap in my internet research class, because it's a joke.

Night y'all.

I may order it actually. The song on their MySpace sounded ace and I'm itching for some new music.

Godamnit I ****ing hate when people call the early 90s the "second wave"

New Thrice album is gooooood.

I got off of work early today :D!

How is everyone doing?

NP:Thrice - The Flame Deluge

I woke up late and missed school, so not too good.

Your musical tastes have become shameful :(

Why have you given up the metal?
