Underwhelmed

I try not to get consumed by rejection. I entered two pieces for a juried show Saturday and both were not accepted. I’m not mad at the fact that they were rejected; I wished that I could have saved the $16 entrance fee instead. Besides, the pieces were accepted on bigger stages and scopes before, so I know that I shouldn’t fret on it too much.

In other news, I received my copy of the bulletin from the School of Art at Yale. For months, I have thought about going for my master’s degree next year, but I haven’t pinpointed where I want to go or exactly what to study. I would like to attend an interdisciplinary program so that I can continue with photography and interactive design, but I also what to go through a program where realistically I can maintain a job in journalism while I study. So far, there are six programs I am looking into. Right now, I plan to visit the campuses in November and get started on building a slide portfolio. The trick would be to compile my best stuff in 20 slides. I know from my friends how hard it is to apply, to decide and to get in. So, I need to start planning (and saving) now.
