Today I went to the National Portfolio Day where several major North American art & design colleges were presented. The queue was huge! It reminds me of queues in Moscow or Paris museums
Anyway, it moved very fast and in 1 hour we were all done (I went there with my husband).
The professor told me which photos should be in my portfolio (I can only include 6 photos). I didn't bring all the photos I wanted, but I guess the final version of my portfolio would look like this: sketchbook, still life painting + photos:


(the one on the right)

or else, if I happen to make some interesting shots before February.

He also said that it's great that I am a mature student! I'm glad to hear that

Anyway, that was a wonderful adventure and after that we bought some books, including 2 photography anthology books.

To start, a photo that I particularly enjoy:



Today I went to a Visual Arts Workshop for prospective students at York U.
I am feeling more confident now about my application, for variety of reasons. I will also have the opportunity to discuss my portfolio in advance with some professors next Sunday during a National Portfolio Day (lol). (Now I would need to print some photos real quick )

I was just wondering if there were any art students out there (I actually know there are some ) who would be kind enough to show what they included in their portfolio when they applied.

Otherwise, for those who are bored, here is a feature from my recent favs:
(I'm trying to do more features now because I decided not to pay next time my subscription expires; but I really don't have time for more than one every now and then because I am extremely busy these days and I cannot update journals from work, I keep getting a 500 error message)
