Day 174-181: This is about Virgina

It's been long. So long that when I went into my Blogger account, it had signed me out of my 'keep me signed in' mode.

I've had one thing stuck on my mind today, but let me start from the beginning.

Today we had a guest speaker that was a photo journalist. He covered everything from the presidents to kids playing outside in the snow. He did however sometimes have to cover not so nice things such as the Virginia Tech shooting. When he brought that I instantly thought of Virginia (the person). I haven't talked about him much in my blogs lately...in a while actually, but this entry is for him.

I'm not going to go into details about what happened in Virginia's past because it's not my place to tell any of you, but what I will tell you is that he was a student at VT at the time. That day was not a good one for him by any means. I'm sure you all can let your minds ponder that & possibly fit the pieces together.

Virginia, I know it was hard for you to watch him talk about that crap & it sucks, I know. Even though it was rough for you I have to thank you for being so strong & also thank you for giving me a photographic book idea that I will be dedicating to you & every victim of VT.

I'm not going to say what the book is going to be about or of. You all will have to wait. It will be touching though. That, I can promise.

In other news, I did my first photoshoot with someone I didn't know personally. By the end of the photo shoot however we were friends. This girl was the sweetest thing ever & was such a badass when it came to understanding my photography & vision.
