Terrible Day
So a couple days ago I was trying to shoot pictures of places where I feel uncomfortable or out of place and it basically ended in a disaster. First of all I live on Park Ave. and the place I wanted to shoot at was all the way down to the end of West College Ave. The house that I wanted to shoot is where a bunch of hippie/activists live at. I am neither of the two and so it was a perfect fit for where I don’t belong. I get to the house and take out my camera to find out that I don’t have a SD card in it. This completely surprises me cause I almost always keep a card in the camera. So I go all the way back to my apartment and pick up a card. Then I go back down to the house and take a couple pictures. The pictures were alright but nothing special. I really wanted to have some people in them but absolutely no one was around. So then I decide to go downtown where maybe I can find more people.
This is a mid-afternoon weekend and where I thought there would be people is yet again empty of life. My plan for going downtown was to take pictures that look like the city because I don’t get along very well with any city, being a country person. The pictures I took again were okay but nothing special and definitely didn’t look like a city. At this point I am getting fed up and decide to just go back to a computer lab and edit the pictures I took (seeing as my computer a week before died and my new one still hasn’t arrived). So I get to the lab, log in and the realize I don’t have a SD card reader with me. So then I go back to my apartment where my friend tells me that he will just download Photoshop for me to use. Well an hour later he still hasn’t finished downloading it because his computer is having problems so now I am totally frustrated with this.
Eventually, he finally downloads the program and I am able to edit the pictures but I am so fed up with what I took and all the issues of the day that I just want to get done with these pictures. I do some simple editing and let them be.
Now looking back at it I really want to re-edit them and fix them up to be nice pictures. All in all it was a terrible day that I never want to repeat and hopefully won’t have to.
