Failing My Own Project

It's always kind of embarrassing to realize that you are failing your own project, your own plans for the summer. I'm not exactly sure what happened this summer, but I have not been doing the things that I wanted to do. I'm leaving here in about a month. I do have enough time to get my butt into gear, but that just means that I actually have to do that. Here are some of my goals that I had in the beginning of the summer

• Shoot 50 street portraits 
• Do an Ohio project
• Make some kind of contact with the Plain Dealer
• Read a Photog Business book
• Go to a local hospital and photograph physical therapists and their patients
• Find photo stories
• Contact Facing Change
• Read newspapers

This is what I have accomplished thus far

• Make business cards
• Take senior pictures 
• This summer blog
• Redo my résumé  

I really couldn't tell you what I have been filling my time with, I haven't even hung out with people that much. I did finish a book, one book, out of my stack of like 15. 

So I need to have a plan to actually accomplish some of the things on my first list. I think the main thing I'm going to focus on is the street portraits, I'm not 100% sure if they will all be street portraits, I might just take portraits. We shall see. Therefore in order to get all this work done as well as pack for school and find furniture I need to quit my internship. Honestly, I wasn't learning anything there anyway. I'd like to say it was good experience, but it just kept me from being bored. I liked that they gave me photo responsibilities, but other than that...bleh. This should hopefully be my last week, I'll have to talk to my boss obviously. So we will see. 

Thanks for reading my rant/list of not doing what I'm supposed to. So if you run into me feel free to ask me if have shot any portraits, etc. I need some kind of accountability.
