I have spent some time reflecting on what is coming up next in my life. And I have been trying to see the bigger picture. I received a $4,100 federal grant for next year in addition to the fee waiver I already have. Financially I will be able to focus 100% of my attention on my photography classes.
This summer I should be able to find a decent enough job or internship if I take my time and pick the right one. I now have the added experience of being a photo editor and the supervisor of 14 staff photographers. Management experience is always a plus. Thankfully I'm not in a huge hurry to find a job in this ridiculously slow job market. My freelancing jobs pay enough to keep me afloat until I do find something.
My summer photo class starts in a couple days and I'm almost excited to have something to do! This summer I really want to take some time to think about my artist statement and purpose for next semester. I'm planning on applying to M.F.A. programs all over the place and I need a strong, coherent portfolio. I really need to identify the purpose behind my artwork.
I'm entering a scary phase of my life right now: Uncertainty. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I graduate. Go into newspapers? magazines? book publishing? open my own studio? art gallery manager? Seriously I have no clue, except that I would be interested in trying all of those careers. Then my wild fantasies kick in. I want to go to art school in Florence, Paris, Amsterdam or travel abroad for graduation or something fabulous like that. I just have no idea what will happen next. All I can do for now is enjoy school, focus my energy on my artwork and see where it takes me.
