I may not be that old (only 25), but that song does have some special meaning to me, and its mood fit my post much more so than several others I could have chosen. ". . .A Winter's day. . .In a deep and dark December. . ." comes to mind right off the bat, but it's spring already, and that song is too dark for the mood of my previous post anyway.
There's a lot going on with the art school, if I was mean and spiteful, I'd humiliate them by posting their name, but I'll just say they run a lot of commercials on TV, and once in a while the google text ads feature the link to their website. I don't know how much my relative will be out financially due to the school's cancelling my enrollment (the course total was something around $2000.00), and they've deliberately refused to acknowledge my request to get the submission artwork I provided upon enrollment with them back, which my relative isn't too happy about, but I guess I have to put some pressure on both fronts to get something done. If I was handling it myself (I can't in this case) I would have had the picture returned by now. I can get very nasty in my letters when someone tries to pull things with me. I think I'll tell the school to [
Censored] off when everything is all sorted out, because they've wasted my time and energy that could have been spent honing my skill, not reteaching it from square one.
As for my art style, I can easily brag it's pretty much self taught. I looked up stuff online, I asked people here and on message boards the right questions, and I listened to their answers. I know it's a bit crude by comparison to some of the artists here, but I have a long way to go.
Now, there are a lot of areas within paranormal photography, photographing auras and energies (Kirlian photogragphy) is only one little area, one I know nothing about except that it requires a specialized camera, which I don't have. Most often, people who do paranormal photography are following the principle that the camera sometimes picks up things that the human eye can't see. Photos are taken of an area known to, or thought to, be haunted with the idea that some manner of energy, be it orbs (not considered great evidence do to the number of natural objects reflecting light that can look like them), smokelike ectoplasmic mists (often not seen by the photgrapher when the picture is taken), and the best evidence, full body apparitions (rarely seen in "authenticated" photographs). I got one Orb in one picture, nothing else, but my sister gets some unusual visual distortions in a lot of her pictures. It's not difficult to do in terms of actual work, but paranormal photography requires a couple things, research, discipline, enthusiasm, and Public Relations. Many people forget that, and get into trouble taking pictures where they have no right to be (just because a place is abandoned doesn't mean you can go right in unannounced. Private property is that, plain and simple. Ask the owners first, some may be willing to humor you, some may not, if you're told no, find someplace else to take pictures).
I live a stone's throw from a local hospital, that's how deep in town life I'm stuck. There's nothing walking distance away from me, save a river access point that's not really worth taking pictures of, it's that boring. Although I could take a picture from the middle of the bridge over troubled wa- I mean the Ohio River which would be different. But pictures of dirty, mucky, disgusting, smelly rivers aren't all that interesting, are they?
It's nothing a good stiff drink won't cure (joking!). Actually as much as I take the bad stuff to heart, I take the good stuff more so, and your support is already starting to do wonders for my spirits. The kind words are much appreciated.
