Sleepless nights

So we recently went to Avignon and got to visit the Palais des Papes and the Petit Palais. The day trip was really nice because we got to go to another town and do a couple of field trips but also have time to hang around and relax for a bit. I think that the Palais des Papes was probably my favorite place we visited that day simply because the lighting inside of it was so beautiful. I got caught up photographing my friends under that great light as opposed to the architecture and such.  The town of Avignon itself was really quite interesting. It was like a strange medium between Lacoste and Paris in the fact that it wasn't completely deserted but at the same time it wasn't completely swamped with people. I found a lot of the scenery there to be much more inspiring on that particular day than the typical scenery of Lacoste.

So After Avignon we returned to Lacoste and back to the endless stresses of finals week and Vernissage. I plan to be hanging 4 photo pieces and 2 printmaking pieces.  In addition to getting everything ready for Vernissage I've been working on my Photo Final which is a digital pinhole project. Sara Keith and I built one together and were actually quite pleased with the outcome. I really enjoy shooting this way as well and I think it works well with my concept since I'm trying to capture the feeling of a place and the feeling of being around a certain person. I really like the hazy and dreamlike feel that the images put out. The following images are really just some experiments, but I'm getting very excited about my final images and how they're going to turn out. Even if I have to pull multiple all nighters, I'm glad I'm feeling very inspired.
