Photo Explosion??

First, Recap on Texas:

My family lives in a community of Latin American immigrants. Everything, from the schools to the stores to the advertisements on billboards, is in Spanish, so I got a truly immersive experience. I learned a lot of slang, and even more curse words than I knew before, but I was surprised to find out that I had a pretty complete vocabulary already. It was like riding a bike: once I got going, I started to relax and didn’t have to think so much about how to pedal.

Update on Photography Stuff:

I think I accidentally started a business?? It started a few weeks ago, when I took my friend Issy’s prom pictures. After she shared them on social media, a girl from church hired me to take her senior pictures. And then another one. And another. So, that was unanticipated, but definitely not unwelcome. It’s actually really fun, and it helps fund college which is the nicest part.

Anyway, yesterday I went to Soulard to take more pictures of STL. The problem is that time is running out on the project, so I’m going to have to shape it so that I have enough pictures to actually speak of. I’ll do my best to complete the photography portion in a way that accomplishes what I imagined, but I have a couple backup plans in case I can’t.
