truth, laugh, lie

so i overall enjoyed doing this project, the actual execution but wasn't too excited for the critique. i mean i wanted to see the other works but when it came time to do so everyone sort of died verbally and as everyone knows our critique seemed forced. it's difficult with a project like this because we being asked to divulge information when many are reluctant to do so. it not even so much as everyone was nervous about sharing deep dark secrets when generally most projects were light-hearted, but just the act of sharing is uncomfortable. besides my sweaty palms and stammering i am still happy with how my project turned out, people have their opinions but i put effort into it and it means something to me. it was a fun experience, i enjoyed bringing my family into it and it was an opportunity to do something other than let's say an 18 by 24 charcoal drawing. 

supersuits of america.

i don't really know if i'll do very well as an artist. i mostly want to be a photojournalist in third world countries, or even fancy countries who  knows, because i don't. i want to be in uncomfortable parts of the world, taking pictures, and constantly appreciating the life i have. i don't have a drive to be famous because then some high society supersuit might take a fancy to it and then my art would be hanging in a foyer next to the umbrella stand. i just want people to be aware of other people. besides exploiting people in pictures i love to read but not awkward teenage coming of age tales, those authors should leave their puberty ridden stories in their own memory, but hey if you like them go for it, just my personal opinion. i enjoy novels that seem to have a purpose and make you think, like ayn rand, now you could feel differently it doesn't really matter. if it isn't obvious i love literature and i'm thinking about a minor or a double major in english. that goes back to the photojournalism because if i can't see what's happening i want to write about it. on that of that educational mess i also want to minor in french. awesome. besides academics, my cousin is my best friend and we spend most of our time together when we're not at school. i'm really close to my family in general and see them almost everyday because there's not much else to do where i'm from. so overall, i'm caitlin and bonus i love my cat. my dogs are pretty awesome too.
