Starting my MFA

August 30th, 2009

Hi there! This blog is my documentation of my personal experiences in my MFA journey. I’m enrolled with the Academy of Arts University in San Francisco to get my MFA in Photography. The opinions here are my own, they are (by nature) subjective. I will strive to keep my comments positive, however, my life’s experience with education and the field of photography may produce comments that some may not welcome. So be it.

When you read my work, pictures and blogs, you can know that I am not paid by anyone to blog here. It’s just little ol’ me rambling on about things I experience as part of my MFA process.

I do have a blog that is focused (pun intended) on my photographic work and my experiences as a professional photographer living in Austin, Texas. That blog is here: http://www.weaver.net/blog/

Cheers!

David
