Sitting at Panera Bread in Oakland, our last day at the hotel that the red cross provided for us. I’ve realized that whiskey gives surrealistic dreams of that I am very fond of because I usually do not dream. Right now we are going to check out a place at you’ll never believe it. “Midtown Towers”. Haha, who would have thought. Everyone is still staying on the mountain which makes me sad, but I think that maybe it is for the better and is the safest option thus far. It sucks because I do graduate this quarter and it would be a lot going on. Life always works out within itself eventually. I wanted to try and keep focus on my school work and that is it. I have been working on an “Abandonment” series that has to do with my neglect of having a father figure and it has been a very personal and touching thing for me to deal with. Being able to express it through my medium is a great thing and it helps me find peace in a way and that is what I have been longing for. A goal of mine is to submit to a gallery in Brooklyn, New York. I want to start to get my name out in New York. My name is not out there as much as I want it to be, but I’m slowly trying to do that by submitting artwork to local galleries and having a gallery crawl with my work in it. My focus for this book is to talk about my personal life but mostly my photography. I submitted to a student show yesterday showing at the Pittsburgh Oprah house! I’m excited to see if I get into that!
