Things of Xavier

 The best part of this class had to have been the exhibition for our prints. I never had any photos of mine ever hung up in a gallery setting, so to see my work hung up on the walls was super cool to see. I've said it many times in class but this project has made me ambitious to work on my photography. It's a skill I never really tried out,  but when I was out and about taking photos it brought me a sense of peace. Unlike music I din't have to work with sounds which a lot of times makes me exhausted. But when I was editing a photo I felt like I could work longer than I would with the music. One thing I really loved about the editing side of photography is the ability to completely change whatever the original photo was into a whole other type of idea. I found myself completely going overboard on certain settings, not really knowing what I was doing but eventually getting a product that I ended up falling in love with. The main example I can think of was the sun roof of my c

 In my final project I wanted to share all of the work that I have done so far for my music. By doing that I shared photos of when I performed live, all of the musical projects I worked on and the artwork that either I or an artist I collaborated with painted. I also shared multiple music videos that I have edited and been apart of. It was really refreshing doing this because it gives me a physical example that I at least have made some sort of progress with my art. The last thing I want to do is to not stay consistent, so by putting all of my work into this powerpoint it helps me understand that I have a foot in the door. Throughout the term I have been working on a lot of music and wanted to share a couple unreleased songs also, so I left some links that take you to my soundcloud.  New Media Prsentation (Journey of Being an Independent Artist).pptx
