Morocco on Film

This is another nostalgic post. I finally put all of the video footage I took while in Morocco together into a single video collage type thing. The quality is poor due to having to compress it to a size small enough that I could upload it. It's nothing of particularly artistic merit, but it is representative of the experience abroad. I have seriously begun to look into documentary filmmaking for graduate school and as a profession. There are so many stories that need to be told.

Road Less Traveled

I've been horrible about blogging and it makes me so sad. But I've been working, traveling, or stressing over grad school. It's silly really. But here are some more film images from Morocco. Editing these doesn't take me much time and they bring me back to one of my favorite places in the world. Spending time working on them is as much a nostalgic activity as it is a creative one. It's important to slow down and reflect on important moments in your life. It reminds us there are bigger things out there than the silly things you let take over your life now, whether it be work or stressing over something as silly as graduate school. Ultimately, we will all end up where we belong. So we should enjoy the journey as we move forward each day.

That Restless Urge

Though I'm immensely happy that I have a job, and an internship beginning soon, I have found that I come home utterly exhausted from work and want to just lay down and read. With what little energy I have left I drag myself to the gym most days. But, as a result of this new lifestyle I have found that I'm getting a little antsy to create some things.

On top of that there are growing feelings of nostalgia about returning to school and attending art history classes and crits and find myself quite sad when I remember, at least for the year, I'm done with those scholarly days. I'm heading down a sad road so I need to steer my way back up to the happy days of creativity and productiveness.

I've also been thinking a lot of Morocco. How much I miss the beautiful country and the wonderful people and children I met and will never get to see again. How sad! So I decided to whip out some more film images and edit a few. Here they are. I hope they atleast mildly convey how much this place means to me.
