This semester's Photography class's main project has proven to be a difficult one. Coming up with a subject matter of interest to document is becoming very stressful because of one reason or the other. Such as reasons being that someone else is doing something similar to what I have considered or me just flat out not having enough exposure to the elements needed to facilitate that area of interest because most things that interest me are not at arms reach or on this island for that matter.
But on a positive note i have completed one of the requirement for another course that I am currently taking which is the New Media course. That requirement was that i read a short story written by bell hooks entittled " A Place Where The Soul can Rest " which was an insiteful first hand look into the way it was in the South of America in the early and mid 1900's. Filled with intense imagery of a place which was ruled by racial and social prejudice, a time where a black person was seen as less that a dog or any form of animal, where blacks fought for the right to basic necessities such as a porch where they can sit outside of their own homes. for me personaly i can believe that people where so small minded as to act that way taward ech other because of something as trivial as where you live, what you posses, or what complexion a person may be and for me the most surprising thing about it is that some people still have this primitive perception of other human beings
