I of course did not win the Student Slideshow @ MOCA. The top award went to a guy who paints Plastic Surgery Disasters and Burkas over statues and other people who take their art very seriously(i.e. not me). I couldn't give less of a fuck about winning with the exception of not getting the money! I don't need people to validate what I do, but damn that $150 could have went far. The event itself was a blast and I was really happy for the opportunity to share my photos with people and touched by all my friends and family who came out to support me. I got to wear a nice dress, eat free food, talk about erotic photography with my family, and share my photos with people. This will come as no surprise to anyone who reads this, but I also made an ass of myself. A guy came up to me after the show and told me how much he liked my presentation and I got to talking about the other artists going over my head, and what the fuck was that shit with the burkas? And how that guy gave a dissertation about his art and I still had no fucking clue what I was hearing or looking at. He laughed and walked away. Much later my friends told me I was talking to the artist who gave that presentation.
I'm dramatic, traumatized, and self obsessed, but in a really sweet and sincere way. I'm in love with life and believe compassion is the greatest virtue we as human beings can possess.I'm madly in love with art and am at my happiest when creating something. I enjoy thrashing at shows as often as possible, going to art museums, drinking coffee at night, taking a good photo, listening to records and of course talking shit.

You made Momma proud! (on all fronts...you didn't make an ass of yourself, dear, you spoke your mind. NEVER apologize for that!)

I was an ass about giving my opinion when no one had asked me, but thank you very much for the support.
