First: Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all are having a lovely New Year so far!
Second: My website is officially two years old! I had planned on getting a post up on New Year’s Day, since that is the official anniversary of my site launch, but I’ve been so busy with both my day-job and my personal life that I have not had a chance to sit down and write anything until now. It’s crazy to me that two years ago I was sitting in this same spot at my desk, nervous and excited to launch this website, yet here it is, exactly as I’d imagined it to be. I’m excited for a new year of blog posts and photographic exploration, and for another year of getting to share it all with you!
Third: Where have I been?
If you’ve been around a long time, you know that I have been saying for the past 3-and-a-half years that I want to go to graduate school, and that I applied to a few programs and even got into one two years ago. For various reasons which I am now grateful for, that did not work out, but, this past fall, I decided I wanted to try again. So, I have spent the past 8 weeks or so applying to graduate programs with the hope that I’ll get to accomplish my long-time goal going back to school and completing my MFA.
This, along with my full-time job, have taken up a ton of my time, so I have not been as active on this site as I would like to have been, but I am hoping to get back in the swing of things as soon as I have the last couple of applications in. I appreciate you all sticking with me during this time!
As always, if there is a particular topic you wish for me to discuss, leave a comment down below, or feel free to contact me through the “contact” link above. Also feel free to follow me on Instagram, @kelseycollierphotography, as I’m currently slightly more active there.
Thanks, and I’ll talk you all again in a few weeks!
