Hey,

What's Up?

I'm asking myself, whats' the point of going to my last three classes at college, if the next level is not offered for Spring 2008? What's the point of doing the report and taking the final and the college can't even offer the next level course. What's up with that?

Besides,I'm sick of my teacher, this pointless class(fundamentals of photo) and my classmates. I'm first starting out being a photographer and developing in the darkroom, and my teacher expects me to have perfect contrast and exposure in my prints....If your reading this and you know who you are....I'm sorrry im not Ansel Adams and i can't be perfect. My teacher makes this class seem so difficult and painful. I also apoligize that taking pictures for your class is not on the top of my agenda, i'd rather take pictures on my own in color. I love my prints and your just going to put me down becasue the contrast isnt perfect enough for you or the print quality is not up to your standars. I Just learning this, we all are. I know this is college, but someone needs to give me and those who dont know a chance. Lastly the reason im rushing in the darkroom is because i dont want the prints i need to turn in to be late and i know what happens if they are. If the students in class think im rushing too much then f**k them, i dont care, and yes i was using the right tongs in the darkroom for the right chemical, i might rush alot to get prints done, but im not sloppy.

I love photography but this teacher has almost ruined my passion with short deadlines and criticism, i just want this class to be over.

I dont even need this grade becaue im not getting a degree, just for personel enrichment. I dont know what, i dont know what to do.

I think the darkroom hates me sometimes

xoxoxo,
