Brittany's Blurb

I feel that my future as a model has officially commenced! Yesterday Aly and I had our first photo shoot as UNC Bloggers. Granted, it is a little different than a model shoot, but it’s a baby step in the right direction (or it would be if I actually wanted to be a model…). We had a blast! Flowers, benches, trees, dogs, bees, we used all of them in our pictures and, well, all I can say is watch out, Tyra, watch out!

But seriously, it was so much fun! Aly is hilarious to start out with and the photographer was great! He even let us take pictures of each other (so if the modeling thing doesn’t work out, I’ve got the whole photography experience to fall back on!). After taking the pictures we went back to his office and he showed us how he touches up people’s eyes to make them jump out at you. It is amazing what huge differences little details can make! It was so fascinating. There are so many things out there in the world that I wish I could do! For all of you artistic people, man, I’m jealous! Its just so cool how everyone has different gifts and abilities. Having the opportunity to see the photographer do what he does so well was a treat, similar to seeing an excellent musician perform or an athlete break records. Seeing people in their element always wows me.

It was wonderful to be outside on campus and take in all the beauty, but I was also amazed at how wonderful the staff here at UNC are. Of course, this was not my first realization of how wonderful they are, but it just really hit me. The people working for creative services, the photographer, even my own overseers are fabulous! I feel proud to go to a school where people care. It’s a good feeling. Gorgeous campus flowers, great photographer, and fabulous people, what more could I ask for? It was a good afternoon.

Have a great day!
