This was one of the very first photos I took with my D40. Also, I know my sister looks at this blog, who knows why. So here's to you, Julia.
Photo # 11
Week of February the 4th
Currently, my primary concern is making Silver Chips Print (or Online) Photo Staff. My sister (pictured above) was photo editor for Silver Chips Online in her time, probably about 5 years ago. She's ancient, I know. In any case, I suppose there will always be a considerable amount of competition amongst siblings. Well, not even competition. As a younger sister, I just feel the need to not fall beneath my sister's shadow, the need to keep my ship of accomplishments level with hers.
It may seem as though the driving, underlying, motive for my applying to Silver Chips is my frivolous need to measure up to my sister- but that is untrue. I just think being on Silver Chips, an award-winning school newspaper, may give me an edge when applying to colleges....
I hope you didn't believe that, for it is only partially true. I think it is self-evident that those applying for Silver Chips are genuinely interested in pursuing a pass-time, passion, perhaps future in an area for which Silver Chips serves an an opportunity. In my case, the pass-time is photography. I am no Tolu Omokehinde or Emma Howells or Peter Berger etc. but photography is certainly a worthwhile hobby that I would like to continue during high school.
I am almost done with my coversheet and it is almost midnight, so I bid you goodnight. Wish me luck in my endeavor! My next blog post will most likely concern my success or defeat. Stay tuned!
