dont ask me what's the meaning behind it; i'm just as confused as what my head comes up with sometimes. i'm getting in touch with photoshop.. how i still find you so frustrating.

only a sophomore in college and i'm having my random panics about the future. where will i be, what will i do, will i be happy and make my parents proud? or will i waste 4 years of college studying art that depletes bank accounts very quickly? it always boils down to money. it's reality and i won't survive without it.

nikki lee came to speak last night. she spoke about groups.. identity was defined by the group you associated with for her in korea so coming to america and experiencing individualism was odd. she managed to dive into american stereotypes of different cultures tho.. so individualism seemed lost in her photos. as much as she was exploiting the groups and the idea of stereotyping, it's inevitable to escape. being such a cynic, i doubt stereotypes will ever leave the world. try walking from chinatown to upper west side.. the number of different cultures is immense.

i dont know what i'm rambling about. i'll go back to reading my life away about homelessness, contemporary art, human sexuality, 19th c. art, and children & photography.

Is that exactly the day after my color photo teacher brought in her book to show the class. I take back my fashion photography statement. 11:30 PM Post a Comment << Home					About Jane Tam has moved to a different domain. Please forward your links to http://janetam.com. Jane is a 21 year old Photography student placed in Syracuse University but originally from New York City. She enjoys all sorts of music but you can classify her as the stereotypical indie kid. Slightly offensive and bitter sometimes, this blog is a place to vent frustrations but also a blog to display current photo/art projects as well as encourage new talent from music to art to films; basically whatever tickles Jane's fancy.
