"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence" - Ansel Adams

I started a 365 project on my Flickr right after the new year. Simple explanation of a 365 is that a picture is taken a day. It can be any everyday object, people, anything... I picked self-portraits. I usually am dissatisfied with most pictures I take of myself because I feel they do not capture what I see in myself. But in starting this project, I have found that I have started to. I have been using it almost as a diary. I usually try to capture an aspect of what I am thinking, feeling, or doing that day. And I am starting to find, that is does capture some aspect of me.
It's being a great project in keeping me creative... and sane. Today starts my 8th and last semester in graduate school! But with it comes great anxiety and stress. I have finally found an internship site (YAY!) that does take away some of my present stress, so my only source now is my upcoming exams in April that will determine whether or not I pass the program. So a few hours of everyday, I'm studying or reading, making notecards, or taking a practice test to help me prepare for this. It's hard to believe I've come this far sometimes.
I know I don't update as often, but I will try earnestly to at least keep the major news up to date on here.
