yuri+etc.: photo portfolio

Growing up, I've always wanted to pick up photography; however it wasn't until recently that I could actually consider it as an interest/hobby. Luckily, I had the opportunity to take an intro course to black and white photography this past semester (the best course I have taken at BU). I used to take pictures and look at photos without much thought yet my professor encouraged us to think outside of the box by looking at photos with a different perspective. My professor brought so much enthusiasm and passion to the classroom that my 3-hour classes seemed like 30 minutes. It's one thing to learn from reading out of a photo book and another to learn from an established photo journalist. I spent at least 10-14 hours a week in the dark room, ignored the course work in my other classes, went out in the cold to finish assignments but I can honestly say I enjoyed every single minute of it. I still have a lot to learn but I realized that this course is what college is all about. I have so much to say about this course and my professor; yet I will leave you with photos from my final project.
