I began this blog a little under three months ago as a requirement for my Freshman Photography class at RIT. At first I was rather apprehensive as to displaying my work online, I always have been. Anyone could find it, steal it and possibly take credit for it. But I have maintained personal blogs in the past so I was excited to be given one as an assignment. So with this, and the hope that Metadata would do its job, I went on and I am happy that I did.
I used this blog to post my photographs that mean the most to me and ones that described how I was feeling at that current moment in time. I enjoyed creating captions that were somewhat abstract in that they didn’t speak directly to the image. They instead related an aspect of my personal life to the subject of the photograph. “You should write greeting cards” is how my dad responded to the words accompanying my photographs. This was probably my favorite part of the blog.
Maintaining this blog has also allowed my family and friends to see what I am presently paying forty thousand dollars a year to learn. I don’t often share my work with them so they were rather excited to venture into my world, especially my parents who even showed my grandma how to access it on her rarely used computer.
I plan on continuing this blog in hopes that one day it may develop into something more, something to further my work and career.
Until next time.

Hi Meghan,
Its true you seem a natural at putting together these little trinkets of daily image and text which relate to your larger experience of the world. I am happy it was a successful experience/activity for you. It certainly gets more of your style and thought processes out in comparison to your more introverted demeanor in class. You should definitely keep posting, it suits you.
