About ten years ago, when I was teaching at the Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington, DC, I had a shy and quiet student named John. He was very serious about studio photography, but he also loved art history. He was really focused (sorry for the photo pun). He loved studying and school so much that he immediately entered an MFA program after he finished his BFA.
Ten years later, John Edmonds is one of the hottest and most-talked-about young photographers in America. The point of this is simple and direct: You might be like John Edmunds ten years from now.
This morning I saw his name in my inbox: it was a review of his new solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Here is a link to his website.
I subscribe to a wonderful (and free) email newsletter from Hyperallergic. I highly recommend that you subscribe to this service. Learning about art and artists is the best thing you can do to strengthen your skills and creativity. Please use the long break between semesters to explore the vast world of art and design discourse. Branch out, explore new territory.
