HELLO NEW MEMBER

[franknateey]

Well...I've done it.

I am now officially a BFA major at the University of Arizona in Studio Arts (Photography).

Origonally I was going to go for my MFA, but felt the better route would be to spend a couple of years really working on photography so I could make my best effort to get into the MFA program.

Wish me luck folks. As of August, I will actually be....

AN ART STUDENT!

At 32....

Who woulda thunk it....

Now I just have to explain to my parents why I am not using that $52,000 BAComStd degree they paid for....

Welcome aboard and congrats on your new status as a student! I can see how that feels funny, to go back to school at 32! Enjoy the experience; I'm sure it's loads of fun and rewarding, too.

Welcome - and enjoy the youthful energy of student life.

I got my BFA at 25. I started when I was fresh out of high school. The logical thing for me was to go into teaching, so after 12 years in Japan, I came back and got a degree in education. Just retired after 21 years teaching art, and photography. I should add that I never studied photography while working on my BFA. It was all traditional art. I always thought photography was for those who were unskilled and couldn't draw. Boy, was I wrong! It ties in nicely with my printmaking major. While teaching, I planned to work on my MFA parttime, but decided against being miserable for two years with all the work, study, writing...
Cheers, welcome to Photrio, and good luck with your studies!
