Finals week and graduation

This is the last entry in this blog... well, this blog series at least. The semester is coming to a close, and finals are over Friday night (and I do mean Friday night, as many of you know), so this blog is wrapping up as well.

It was an interesting assignment, and a good way to get started in the blogging world. This is the first attempt I've made at blogging, and it helped having a guaranteed audience in the class, and some easy topics that could be taken from assigned reading. That said, I'm not sure it's for me.

I've been thinking it over, and if I continue blogging I'll do it on a different platform, one that doesn't claim ownership of the pictures I upload, and I'd do it on a different topic. I'm not sure what at the moment, but I might look into it in the future.

For now, though, I'm content to finish up my last semester at school and get ready for graduating next week. My parents are flying out, my projects are going to be done, and it will be nice to have a little vacation in Hawaii before moving back to the mainland and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. A little late to be still working on that, but there's not much I can do about it now.

So aloha to my classmates who've been working on this assignment with me, and aloha to my teacher. Have a fabulous summer, and whatever else comes after that.

Portfolios

Unlike my current trend these last few weeks, I was very productive yesterday. I worked for several hours in the school's computer lab putting together a couple different portfolios of the work I've done throughout my college careet.

I have three different portfolios due, and they're all taking on a different theme. The portfolio from this course is online, and is a little limited by the number of pictures I can upload, but it's looking pretty good. There's a mix of graphic design  (although not as much as I'd like) and photojournalism.

My portfolio for my seminar course, on the other hand, is more influenced by my double-major in marine biology. It's geared toward a set of underwater photos that I took over spring break. I added some of them to my portfolio for this class, and they're some of my favorite photos. Merging my two majors is always more fun than focusing on one or the other.

Either way, my portfolios are looking good, at least to me. Hopefully professors and potential employers will be suitably impressed as well.
