Open Doors



November 21

            On Friday I visited the Saginaw Career Complex again to help out my old Graphic Arts teacher. I must have decided to come on the perfect day because the students were doing more with their photography. It’s so wonderful to see what they see in photography and what kinds of things they like to take pictures of the most. I got to talk to them about working in the studio and how all the lights and camera settings work together. I felt like a photography teacher and I think it may have opened a new door for me in life. Maybe something I might want to end up perusing. I still am pretty undecided as to what I want to apply myself to in life, and do as a career for the rest of my life. I love photography and I love telling people about it but I don’t know if I really like teaching teenagers. So I would probably do it as a college professor or something along those lines. I guess I’m just scared that art and photography is going to be dead to the career world. Not dead in general just to the way economy works. Art is not a necessity but something for the senses to feast on like your eyes and your ears to art and music. If it gets bad enough who would pay an artist for something that they do not need? I wouldn’t if I was broke. It’s funny how my mind works but just seeing high school kids doing the same thing I was doing for the past two years at SCC just shot my mind straight into the future.
