Grit

This week one of our assignments for my class with Dave was to photograph rust. So I walked down to Alhambra and took lots of photos on the way and this is how it went:

 

"Ummm, excuse me, we were wondering what you were taking pictures of?"

"Rust."

"Why? Do you work for the city?"

"No, I'm in a photography class and our assignment is to take photos of rust."

"Oh... where do you go to school? The Art Institute?"

"Well, I'm actually a medical student at USC. I'm doing photography on the side."

"They have photography at medical school!?"

"No. I'm taking an online course."

"Oh! Like a community college course? So do you get credit for that?"

"Well, no, actually we don't even get graded. We just turn in the assignments for each week."

"Ummm... OK. Why would you do that?"

*sigh* "I've got to go home. Sorry."

 

Next time I go out, I'm going to tape a sign to my back that says "I'm an artist, leave me alone." LOL!!

 

2. Grit - Show us your rust, your dirt, your slime, your flaking paint, your broken glass. You get the idea.
