Well, this will be my last post for my New Deal photography class at the BOE. Sort of bittersweet, but I know that this won't be the last time I post, well maybe on this particular blog, but not my last photography post. Over the past 9 months, I've really found something that I really enjoy; it's photography. I've dabbled in it before and with Photoshop as well, but this was the first time I felt connected and passionate with what I was doing. I'd go out to take shots of Huntington and I'd lose track of time, sometimes for hours upon end. Of course, there were many missed shots, or shots I flubbed because I couldn't get my settings right in time. There were people who refused to have their pictures taken and I know many of those shots would have been awesome. But I hope that I came close to accomplishing my goal of comparing the New Deal Era-style of photography with capturing the essence of Huntington and it's residents, in an unfettered, honest, and real manner to the best of my ability. And I think I have, but no looking back, on to tomorrow... live to see another day, another scene, another shot, another face...living in Appalachian America.
