I enjoyed every moment of this process and Friday in the library was tons of fun. I also got a job offer and a lot of compliments. I will continue to carry on this hobby for a long time!!

My original 20% time goal was to learn most of the bones and muscles of the human body. Unfortunately that did not go as planned, so I went with what I was in love with at the moment and I’m happy to say that was photography. Before deciding I wanted to take on the excitement of capturing pictures I came across a little saying by a great legend that went by the name of Steve Jobs, he once said. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living in the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the voice of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Within a couple of minutes after reading that I knew I wanted to change my 20% time topic. I was leaning more towards taking artsy and portrait pictures so I could let people take a look at how I see the world and what it looks like through my eyes. Throughout this incredibly long and somewhat complicated journey I’ve learned that people come across art every day, and we’re more than likely to take it for granted. Believe it not photography is a language, and the best part about is that it is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world.  “I’ve learned that a good photographer is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.” – Irving Penn. Honestly if you think about it long enough...photography is the easiest form of art.....but perhaps that’s why it’s so hard. I’d have to say my biggest accomplishment while doing this project was learning to love the life I was given. While taking pictures not only with a camera but with my eyes, I’ve seen everything from people that have very little, to those that have just about everything. I’m just glad to say I have all I need and the love for photographs.  I enjoyed every moment of this process because I got to become a better and more mature version of myself. I will take this experience with me in just about everything I do in life. I so strongly believe that more people need to take on a love for photography, because it’s a way of feeling, of loving, of communicating, and of thinking. What oneself has caught on film is captured forever; it remembers the little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

Hello Photography.....Until Next Time Human Anatomy

Soooooo me being the indecisive person I am I have decided to change my 20% time topic. The start of it was me attempting to learning  the bones and muscles In the human body. In the process I did learn some of the bones that were foreign to me before. However  I did not have as much "fun" with it as I thought I would. With all of that being said I have decided to pull out the artsy side of me and take on the challenge of photography. I hope you enjoy my artsy fartsty side as much as I do!! I will be posting pictures as soon as I can! Enjoy!

Campus Visit!!

Over Christmas break I had the opportunity to visit The University of South Florida, one of the colleges I have been thinking about attending (ranked #2 for Sports Medicine) It was a great experience and I am defiantly going to put a lot of thought into attending the school! I have also put some thought into attending Michigan University, but that's another story for another visit!!
