daydreamer

nobody@flickr.com (Russell Kuch) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:00:08 -0700

A picture from my art show that starts Monday :)

I think daydreaming is half of what my photography is about. Ill be sitting in class or at home literally doing nothing and all of a sudden an idea for a photograph pops into my head.

That's what this is about. It's about day dreaming, and holding on to that dream.

It has been so long. I realized the only thing standing in my way, was myself. Once I realized that, I was able to shoot again. I have a show next week and I'm so excited for it! My first actual museum showing with 42"x42" prints . I can't wait!!!

ALSO I was slacking on the print giveaway. I chose winners! I was going to make a video but I'd rather not embarrass myself. Ill post the winners soon :)

i haven't even had time to think.

if it is not obvious, i am not able to continue my 365. taking on a third job on top of school is nearly impossible as it is and i have not found any time to shoot and it makes me so sad to have to end my 365. i grew so much from it and i will obvviiiiiously continue to shooot as much as i can when i actually get to see daylight!

on a lighter note. i took this about two weeks ago, i had two art shows where i actually sold some work that is in a gallery until february and i met a lot of people wanting to work with me and it has been great

its been a bittersweet journey. sorry for my absence, ive missed you flickr!!! a lot. and thank you for those who have followed me on this journey these past 6 months. its been rough but worth it.

hoping to meet some amazing photographers in the next couple weeks and i can't wait!

also, i never win those damn print giveaways. haha #loser .
THEREFORE i shall be doing my own soon. just to thank you guys and make sure you don;t forget me when I'm not no here as often

underneath it all

rebirth

Russell Kuch posted a photo:

this was ridiculously uncomfortable. i got so torn up and i look like i have a rash all over my back and butt (which doesn't matter because no one is seeing my butt.... except all of flickr right now)

i found this perfect little hole to lay in for a rebirth picture that ive been attempting with so many fails lately. i'm starting fresh, empty, clean slate.

but im still shooting regardless! HOLLLLLA

when i reach 100 pictures, if ever, i will have a surprise for you lovely flickr people :)

also, im on instagram: russellkuch

first off, i want to thank everyone, you have all been so encouraging and supportive lately! such good feedback from you guys !! so thank you to alllllllllll

ok, so its october i WILL be doing some halloween shots... BEWAREEE

the square crop wasn't working out on this one, as much as i wanted it to. those vines were scary, like i didnt realize until halfway through that it was a a village of large LARGE spiders. EVERYWHERRRRRE.

and my remote broke so i looked ridiculous running from my camera and to plopping down and tucking myself in these leaves while a family and their dogs watched -__-

im over being negative and not doing this project. I'm emptying out those thoughts. i need to suck it up and just shoot! so this is it. im being positive and im gonna shoot from now on and not complain and not compare myself to others. i started this as a learning project and im going to continue to learn

meanwhile. i hate school. thats still negative hahah :)
but i had another job interview a couple days ago, which will give me three jobs now, so hopefully i find time to shoot! they might start being all middle of the night shoots lol

where do i go from here?

im not a nudist. not that i know of at least.

wrapping this itchy rope around me was not fun. also having to walk back through this tunnel once it got dark was NOT FUN. so scary.

but there was an owl waiting for me when i got out. unfortunately it didn't have a letter to Hogwarts. it just watched me.
