I'm stopping 365days

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 01:47:23 -0500

I'm done.
I did 36 days but I done.
I feel pressured and stressed and on bad days i just feel like a crap photographer and i bitch and moan and its just not fun.
I've got tooo much work to do and not enough time to commit to taking an interesting and beautiful photograph everyday. I'm too much of a perfectionist and i'm not strong enough to beat that 'this is so shit' urge.

I love taking photos and im definatly still bringing my camera everywhere but art doesnt happen under constant pressure, or at least mine doesnt.

Its just not worth it.

Thanks to anyone who commented on my photos.

Good luck to everyone who is still going.

Here are some of my favourites:

I have to do this assignment on modernism vs. post modernism and i have to write the features of the New National Gallery by Mies van der Rohe and the Guggenheim Museum by Frank Gehry

its due next monday. i need to find:

A) Materials, functions and stylistic elements of each building (with particular reference to the elements that can be identified as Modernist or Post-Modernist)

B) find a range of statements by both artists on their work with reference to the afor mentioned buildings. and then i have to analyse the statements and record the key ideas relevant to the question of modernism vs. post-modernism

C) IMAGES!!! that relate to the key ideas above. i can also reference works by other architects to support the ideas of my two main architects

D) and then i have to decide which movement is best, basing that opinion on the shit above.

I made it a week. and only one screw up. [365 Days]

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 09:10:55 -0500

im really happy. i did it for a whole week. that may not be very impresive for you guys but i never stick to anything. and forcing artistic-ness sucks. im still hanging in there though.

i screwed up though, i realised. i had taken my first photo at 2 in the morning but thought i had taken it the day before. so i ended up taking two for one day but saying it was two days. ANYWAY its all good because the faux day 2 pic was shite so i got to delete it. woop!

how is anyone else who is doing it going?

i am really not making good sentences right now.
