senior year

for those of you who don't know him, my boyfriend chris is graduating from SVA this spring. he went back to school 4 years ago after a long hiatus of traveling, touring the usa and europe with his band(s), buying a house and plain old living life. i remember how excited i felt when he told me he wanted to go back to school and study photography more. i'm really proud of him that he's come so far so quickly. the days of me helping him are long gone. so, even though i never went to art school, i still get schooled for free by him. and free adobe updates (thank you mo!) plus all the fun equipment i could ever want to borrow.

anyway, chris has really been working his tush off this semester. commuting back and forth to nyc 4 to 5 days a week. mentor meetings. proposals and artist statements. installations and slideshows. postcards and portfolios. senior thesis. exhibitions... to say he was stressing would be an understatement, but the work he has been producing has been fantastic. and i'm not just saying that because i date him. so proud
