Last Thoughts

I actually touched on a few things about the semester in my artist statement, but I wanted to elaborate a little more.  This has been a great learning and growing experience.  I just wish I had been able to take this class sooner so I could've been using what I know now for the past year.  Two things definitely stand out when I think about this class.  The first is what Cordell said earlier today and I have to agree completely.  Cheesy it maybe, but it's true that the relationships I've made this semester have been awesome and I'm glad that I'm able to interact with people who love to do what I want to do.  It's nice not feeling like a stranger anymore when I walk into my Tcf classes.  I definitely remember the first day and thinking "Damn, I don't really know anyone".  Now, it's great to be able to have people to turn to and film with whenever I want.  The second aspect I think about are the technical skills I've learned.  Even though my skills are still pretty amateur, they are greatly enhanced from when I started the class.  Like I mentioned earlier today, the PD-150 was the only camera I had used (besides the little panasonics from CMF).  I definitely want to have more hands on work with cameras and hopefully that will be soon to come.  I just hope this all doesn't go away once I graduate soon.  Thanks for a great semester and Farewell 312ers.
