Spectators Beware

"Since when do we have to agree with everyone all the time?" - Lillian Hellman

Well.

Today has been infuriating.
And saddening.
And embarrassing.
And just...GAH!

Yep, you guessed it.
Photography was terrible.

I am sorry to rant again.
But the "dotting" system blew up again.
I have decided there are a lot of ... how should I put this kindly ... maybe a little inexperienced people in the class. I think they just honestly don't know what to look for in the assignments given.
I could say names.
But because I am not wanting this to be spiteful, I will not.
I know I must seem whiny by bringing this up again.
But I can't help it.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
So, anyways.
I will say that is was a little better this time.
But still retarded.
My fellow colleagues chose a picture of a building (my goodness, what creativity! imagine, looking up at a building! ... sheesh) and an image of a gun with bullets, which by the way, were at the exact same level as the camera.
THAT ISN'T EVEN WHAT THE ASSIGNMENT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And praise God, our professor brought that up - he said that it would have been perfect for the Depth of Field assignment.
Amen and amen.
Thus, that class has a lot of jug heads.
All the good photographs were left behind!
I can't even say how many awesome pictures weren't even mentioned.
INJUSTICE.

And then , to top that off, an article appeared in the Accent today written by a very disgruntled young Chattanoogan (is that right?) railing Adventists and grouping us into a giant stereotype.
Here is the link:

And THEN I wasted two hours in the lab by developing photos that didn't even turn out! (thank goodness they were only an extra credit project, not an assignment, and I can do it again)

BUT, I did do something nice today: I brought a surprise Sonic drink to Brittany while she was working at WSMC 90.5 :D
She liked it.

I don't understand how some people just float through life and don't care about these issues.
They don't care that amazing photographs are overlooked in a class.
They don't care that some people think Adventists are cheap, fake, and stupid.
They don't care that a left-wing, socialist freak and his goons are ruining our country.
They don't' care that Jesus is coming soon, and think it is silly to believe in something they can't see.
They don't' care.
I don't' get it.
I cannot sit by and watch these injustices.
I can't.
God didn't make me that way.
So you can think I am whiny.
You can think I overreact.
I just know that I want to change things for the better.
And I will do whatever I have to in order to accomplish it.
