Day 100: mon, 21 apr 2014. I took a great photo of Julia eating her dinner but she wouldn’t sign my model release so here is a tight crop of her food. Happy 100 snapshots!
Thine’s all the glory / man’s the boundless bliss
The Lord is ris’n indeed! Hallelujah!
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first-fruits of them that slept.
Hallelujah, and did He rise? did He rise?
Hear it ye nations! hear it, Oh ye dead!
He rose, He burst the bars of death
And triumphed o’er the grave.
Then I rose, then first humanity
Triumphant passed the crystal ports of light
And seized eternal youth.
Man, all immortal hail,
Hail heaven, all lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine’s all the glory,
Man’s the boundless bliss.
This is all you need today.
What I did this week (18 apr 2014)
I showed up for motion graphics on monday. A half hour went by and our teacher didn’t show up, so I took a group photo of the whole class and passed around a home-made sign-in sheet. Everybody left except me, John, Luke, and Alix, so we sat around and did homework and complained about Directions.
Tuesday, had jewelry; stressfully realized deadlines are closing in on me. I worked on jewelry through lunch, giving myself countless small injuries in the meantime. After that, senior ad was great. I went to interview Ron Tardino at 3:15pm, which lasted so long I completely missed History of 2-D Design. (That’s okay.) Instead of going home, I went back to the jewelry lab to pour a silicone mold. 24 hour curing times are a real drag.
I got to school several hours early on wednesday so I could print out a ton of stuff and pick up a mannequin from the bowels of Design Studios on Broad. Then, we had motion graphics as normal.
Jewelry on thursday morning was exasperatingly underproductive. I met up with Dana at lunchtime, and we looked at fine arts thesis shows together. In Senior Ad, we had a rousing/upsetting/overwhelming conversation about job interviews and salaries. After that, in History of 2-D design, I participated in a group presentation about iconic WPA posters. It wasn’t very good, but our teacher was positively overcome with joy at our efforts—so that was a nice relief. In what is perhaps the best possible demonstration of my mental state, I forgot to take a snapshot.
I was back at school for all afternoon working on thesis and jewelry business—can’t stand to be away; can’t stand to be there, either. Lots to do for Directions and thesis and graduation. Oh my.
Day 99: thu, 17 apr 2014. It was bound to happen eventually—I forgot to take a senior snapshot today. Thankfully, John and Danielle come to my aid with two excellent guest photos.
Day 98: wed, 16 apr 2014. Suzanne Cotton shows me where all the mannequins live.
