Sign in to disble this ad
I've spent the past four years pursuing an MFA in Photography, Video and Related Media at the School of Visual Arts. I had to finish my Bachelors first so I've spent the last six years in school. So I've been in school now from age 45—51.
The past four years have been some of the hardest most trying in my whole life. But I got all the necessary signatures to submit my Thesis Paper and Video yesterday. I have a screening May 11th and Graduation May 16th.
It's been a long haul, but I'm finally finished!

My project was video so context is everything, particularly as the piece was as much about the sound design and music I wrote. But sure here goes two screen captures.

As a married dude with a family, I can empathize with this accomplishment at this stage in your life. It's not easy. We're all wired much better for this thing when we're younger. Congrats my friend. |
