I picked up my cap and gown today, I walk at graduation tomorrow.  My brother and Dad are on their way here right now to spend the day with me.  I am currently sitting in the ESP lab at RIT, in front of an Epson PRO 3800, Flextight scanner, fully loaded IMAC and Wacom tablet.  This is the last day I will use these facilities and I am going to miss them dearly.

I am making plans that once I am settled I am going to start investing in some equipment.  First thing being the Epson v700 flatbed scanner.  I am not going to stop shooting film just because I don’t have RIT labs anymore.

I have finalized my series and am moving away from its location, so it is over along with my college career.  I am pleased with the result and enjoyed focusing on one thing for 9 months.  It is the longest photographic project I have ever worked on.  I am excited to move on but also feeling kind of lost trying to start over with a new concept in a new location etc.

Lots of things to do, lots of jobs applied for.  Moving is expensive.  It’s time I start over again.  See you in ten days Chicago.

This is the first photograph I have taken outside and without a tripod in god knows how long.  I took it while feeling nostalgic about Rochester and so it is my “Goodbye Rochester” picture.
