Tuan– I liked a lot how Tuan can come up with all of his creative designs whether it’s for packaging, advertising, or posters for family or friends. His designs can either be complex or simple but either way they are very interesting and cool to look at.
Hollis– I liked the quote Hollis used “Memory is a complicated thing a relative to truth, but not it’s twin”. It goes perfectly with her work about memories from when she was younger. She uses references and works them out conceptually. I really liked her natural disaster work that she drew and put together for one big exhibit. I think it’s cool how she can focus on details and have every little thing have detail in it. For the larger ones I liked how she would find random pieces like chairs and tables to incorporate into her pieces.
Bill– I loved all of Bill’s photography works. My absolute favorite was the prison rodeo pictures because I am a fan of rodeo and am very familiar with the prison rodeo in Huntsville since it’s only an hour from my hometown. I also liked all the photos of the wilderness like the mountains and landscapes like that that he took. The pictures of just random objects that were photo-shopped into something completely different were really cool to look at also.
5 Year Plan:
I want to be able to graduate from college with a degree in Photography and a minor in possibly Marketing or Sports Management.
I want to be able to intern for different sports affiliated companies such as ESPN, USA Today sports, or PBR/NFR and see if I can take pictures at different events or learn how everything works.
My main goal is to work for ESPN as a sports photographer taking pictures of college or professional sports. I may want to work for Longhorn Network since it is the closest just to get a start and a hang of things and then move further up in the company or become freelance and sell my pictures to them.
I would like to be able to shoot the summer Olympics, the world cup, the super bowl, and other big events in sports like those that people will always remember.
I possibly want to become a freelance photographer that way I could just go to any event that I wanted and sell my prints.
Later on in life I may want to switch to doing landscape or wildlife photography but my biggest passion is sports photography and I love everything about it.
