Well, I never thought I would be the blogging type, but here I am. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheyenne Michaels. That's the who. I'll be a freshman at the University of Denver in the fall. That's the what, which also leads us to the why. My first year seminar (the only class I am currently signed up for) is called "Personal Histories of Photography" taught by Roddy MacInnes, whom I've only heard wonderful things about. As my first college assignment, I have been instructed to start a blog, taking and posting one picture each day along with a paragraph about what each photo means to me.
Why did I choose a photography class as my first college course? I've always had a love for photography, though, I'll admit, I've never been as devoted to the art as some of my friends. More of a recreational hobby if I'm on vacation or bored. I was also an editor for the newspaper my junior year. I found it to have a weak appreciation for photography, partially leading to my switch to the yearbook. Last year, I was the editor of the Clubs/Activities section. Yearbook granted me some great experiences with photojournalism and graphic design--so much to the point that "when I grow up" I want to be editor-in-chief of a women's magazine.
So there you have it. A brief summary of who, what, and why. Hopefully through this blog you will generate a better understanding of the "who"...that's kind of my goal too.
