New Semester, New Stories

Well, here it goes. I'm a little embarrassed to express to cyberspace how much anxiety I have felt toward this new semester. Lighting was fun and easy and full of experimenting. Now that I have approached picture stories, I'm not only facing all of my weakest areas in photography, but also facing the reality that being an actual photojournalist is in the cards at this point. At first I was terrified of this class based on all the horror stories floating around the lab, but two stories into it I feel pretty good. I feel like I'm challenging myself and improving the more I shoot. I'm excited about fixing my weak areas. I guess the best thing to do with fear is embrace it. Or at least try.
