Not Posting

I have been very busy since school started, and this has caused me to not post. To be frank, my biggest issue involves image processing. First, I am too busy to remember to photograph things. Second, when I do photograph, I then have to put them on my computer and I would prefer to send them through photoshop. In particular, my pictures are all very large files and I think Blogger would be pretty upset with me if I attempted them without shrinking them first. Then I don't post because I feel like I have to have pictures.

So! I have made the decision to post with or without pictures. Hopefully it does not become too much of a habit, and it helps me to post more regularly.

The first weeks of class have been hectic. Last week, we spent the majority of the time in a crash Italian language course. I am glad that it is over (the crash part anyway) because now we are much more focused on studio. For our first project, we are doing a close study of a piazza of our choice; I decided to study the Piazza del Popolo. Specifically, I am studying the intersection of the more transit-oriented lower piazza that goes through the historical main gate to Rome with the reflective upper piazza that is a park that is visually oriented with the Vatican. I wish I had my camera with me in studio today so that I could photograph my work that I have pinned up.

Tomorrow we are going to Sicily for a 10 day intense workshop. I am able to focus on that yet because of our review this afternoon, so I am not excited about it yet. I bet after the review I get there. This gives some general info about what we are going to be doing: Sicily Lab
