These are the photos I've been considering for my postcard/book entries. I'm still not particularly interested in having any of my photos on postcards, I feel its a waste of time and money, primarily because the type of photos I take would never be seen on a postcard, much less a gallery, so to put them in that context just for the senior show, seems pretty pointless to me. If it wasn't for it being graded, I probably wouldn't even worry about it. Really, I just want to have some quality photos to work with in my portfolio when I leave VCU, besides that, I'm not too worried about it. I know I can come up with quality images and bodies of work, but that isn't what I had planned on doing for this semester. Last semesters work was purely to be stock sports photography work, and thats all i wanted out of this semester as well, just shoot more events and higher standards for photos, unfortunately everyones trying to push my photos into a direction I dont want them to go. So i guess these are the images that are going into the gallery, book and postcards. Please give me some opinions on the photos you think would be the best to give off my point. Thanks.

I found it!!! I understand the direction that youve taken your work this semester but quite honestly i felt like you were getting the skills and language of this kind of photography really well last semester and something seems to have changed. I know we get a lot of pressure to be a certain way but there are formulas for this kind of photography and for the work that people want to see in your portfolio. I think it is great to experiment with expanding what you are able to do with your camera but the action and emotion of your previous images were quite successful. I am not at all saying you dont have some worthwhile images but it feels like a different series to me. You have great instincts- listen to them and just stick with what you naturally go for. If you want feedback anytime i am more than happy to help you out!
