Ringling Senior Thesis 2010
Jan 23, 2010 Senior Thesis
Hello! I am a photo major, finally in my fourth and final year at Ringling College of Art + Design. I can’t believe it, less than 4 months and I’m back in the “real world”.
Ok, on to my thesis!
We have the option to do our thesis on whatever we choose. Last semester I did a visual nature journal where I photographed my immediate environmental surroundings outside my apartment. I did so, every single day (Aug – Dec ‘09). And in the end, I created three stop motion video pieces (embedded below). I fell in LOVE with the process and was sad when it was over. The series is titled, “Forty Feet From My Front Door”. My hope was for the imagery to encourage people to discover the uniqueness of their own natural surroundings.
I knew this was something I wanted to do again, so I decided to base my Senior thesis on the same subject! But this time I felt it needed to be more focused on one section of my surroundings, or one creature. Sooo, without further ado here is what I have decided to shoot:
Up next, find out what they are! They are so fascinating! I can tell that they are some type of caterpillar, but I am having the hardest time finding good information about which type.
Please join me on my journey in discovering these fun little creatures!
Another great video! It is great to see the “dark side” of the insect world portrayed so realistically.
(You put a lot of work into trying to get me to accept spiders and bees as good members of our world! I refuse!!!
