I’m spending a lot of time reading lately. This last year has been an incredibly tough ride for me but I’m glad that I can focus on myself. I’ve spoken to many of my classmates after coming back from my summer internship and into this new (and last) school year and I’ve realized a lot of things that I need to focus on, not just a creative, but as a person overall.

I think the biggest thing that differentiates the best from the rest is discipline. I notice it within my own work, as the work that I constantly reworked to the point that I almost hated it always feels more put together than the ones that are only on their third rework, sitting comfortably in their beginning stages. I think that disciplining ourselves to know our priorities in how much we want to work on something, and how thorough our editing process ends up being is truly the definition of our work. Just a thought.

I’ve recently bought a new camera (canon 5ti) and am excited to start shooting a lot more. I’ve been conscious about the places I am at, the things I see, and feel that I’m getting somewhere in terms of my personal style in photography, but I still have a long way to go.

I’m working on (yet another) constructivist inspired motion media piece and am finding inspiration through this video I found:
