Introduction

Hi everyone, my name is Joe and this is the third Art class that I've taken at Albertus. I'm really interested in seeing what everyone comes up with for projects, as I have been very impressed by the quality of work that students had posted in the other classes!

This is my last Mod at Albertus as I am graduating in May. I started 7 years ago as an Engineering major in Florida and I had finally decided to pursue my true passions as a Bachelor of Arts rather than the Sciences. I work in an Engineering field currently, and I tell my peers how strange it is that the arts and sciences are never really exclusive of each other- even though it seems all of this stuff is "mushy" and non-technical.

I would like to pursue two things of interest in my portfolio for this Mod:
1) My mother is an active potter and would like to put together a website. I told her I would make the website and also take photos of her pottery. This is one of the "technical" hurdles I would like to overcome- especially focus and lighting.
2) I would like to do a series of portraits following people in their day-to-day dealings. There's a series on television called "A Day in the Life" that follows celebrities, similarly. However, I would like to prove that my friends lead incredible daily lives without all of the glamour of showbiz. Some would be interesting, some technical, some comical.
