I was looking for this photograph that I took for B&W I at Dutchess in the summer of '03, and discovered that I couldn't find it on
my web site. This troubled me somewhat, so I've decided to post it here. It's not really fair to post an old photograph without including some story though, so I will include some text to go along with it. Feel free not to read it, and just look at the pretty picture though :)
I wasn't even going to print this one, but my teacher recommended that I did. I thought it was only ok, but I included it in my final portfolio because I knew that my teacher liked it. I thus christened the photo "Teacher's Pet." I was a bit of a teacher's pet in that class. She was a savage critic and grader, which is the best way to learn, but some of the students didn't appreciate her style. I liked her, though my grade was not of much concern for me. I was in the class to learn how to work in the dark room, nothing more. Although I didn't initially like it that much, I have come to appreciate it more over time.
