I was going to write about my love life, or lack there of, but decided to write about the project I am working on with a photographer friend of mine, Robb Quinn.
We recently went to Madison to document the protests at the Capitol, and ended up making a project out of it. We conducted some interviews, recorded audio of the rallying and photographed everything we could.
We put together a short, preview version of what we recorded, and are meeting this week to make the longer, more in depth video. I'm really happy with everything we got, and the whole experience made clearer my career goals. The only thing missing from my night at the Capitol was a paycheck...
While working on the preview video, we discussed turning what we did in Madison into a regular thing. We'd go to different events or places and interview people about current issues and events, or things we find interesting. Add photos to that and we have our own little news type segment.
If we work hard enough at this, I think it could really go somewhere, and it would look fantastic on my resume. :)
I figure, as long as I have a stimulating career, I won't worry about my dull love life - or at least it'll take the edge off.
The only thing that worries me is finding a stable job that pays. I don't really care what it is - I'd be the garbage man if it gave me the time and expendable cash to continue down my career path.
It's just with everything thats happened in the last month, I feel a little incompetent. I keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason and that things have to pick up eventually but I don't know how much longer I can say that. It's March already and that means spring is fast approaching. Summer follows spring and by the end of summer, I hope to be able to make my move to Chicago, which seems like the promised land in this state.
Here's the link to the preview video - remember the extended version is coming - hope you enjoy and feel free to leave any feedback! It's always greatly appreciated :)
