Here at FAMU I have found everything I want in a photo Program. There are great Professors who are there enough to show you new techniques or critique your work. I have some guys I went to school with back in Pensacola who are on the same par as I am. We critique each other’s work and also go shooting together.

The facilities we have are normal to most students. For me the facilities are great, because I know what to hide, and how to fix it if its broken. I don’t have to wait for the nearly non-existent lab manager to get back from lunch to fix a problem. The classes I am taking are kicking my butt and forcing me to learn new things constantly. I feel like I have produced some of my strongest work to date here. I also feel like this has been one of the most unproductive times in my photographic learning.

Im not sure why I feel this way, but i think about it quite a lot. I think it might be that I have been given all this freedom with my classes that I have lost motivation to work. I also feel my personal life has had a great effect on my work flow…basically grinding it to a halt. When I stop and think about it its not really that difficult to see why i feel this way about shcool.

The semester is almost over and Christmas is coming up fast. Hopefully I can rejuvenate myself over the break and come back next term and produce the caliber of work I know I can do.

I have thought a lot about this first post. I want it to be something of substance, something that says, “I’m Sean! And this is what I think.”

The truth is I have done nothing but procrastinate about this and then nap.  This has forced me to post an outstanding explanation for a rather mundane post.  I suppose, in my mind this is a worthy endeavor to undertake…the explanation.

So I have been meaning to have a blog for some time now. I have tried on several occasions to add it to my site. I went through 2 databases with my web host just to get here.

At one point in history I had a blog up and running and had 2 posts in it…but  failed to provide a link on my site. Alas, one fateful day I deleted that blog in a fit of cleanliness and was not able to recover it.

This brings me to today. I have worked on this version of the blog for 3 days now. The days were spent as follows:

Day 1

Research blogging program. Upload and install on server. (by far my most productive day)

Day 2

Research themes and modify to my likening.

Day 3

Think about 1st post, nap, procrastinate, nap, post.

There is it. My first post. Enjoy and I’ll see you soon.
