- [00:00:02.874]I'm Alec. I'm a photo student in the Department of Art & Art History
- [00:00:06.095]here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
- [00:00:08.297]It's a constant struggle balancing the creative with the technical because
- [00:00:12.289]if you don't have a solid grasp or understanding of the technical aspects of
- [00:00:16.915]photography, then you really can't explore the creative side of it.
- [00:00:21.127]I love the process of going out and shooting. You know, finding a location,
- [00:00:25.759]golden hour around sunset, when the light is just perfect, immersing yourself in a
- [00:00:30.567]location and trying to capture that in a photograph.
- [00:00:34.692]The great thing about Lincoln: it's so dynamic. There's tons of different types
- [00:00:38.461]of architecture and it's kind of a photographer's paradise.
- [00:00:41.604]You can get in your car and drive for five minutes and
- [00:00:44.051]be somewhere completely different visually.
- [00:00:47.219]I've always been a really politically- minded individual. Politics and the arts
- [00:00:52.198]are inextricably linked. Funding for the arts is constantly being fought over and
- [00:00:58.016]here at UNL we are in the capital of the state and we're only a few blocks from
- [00:01:02.217]the capital building. It's so easy to get in and to talk to a state Senator about
- [00:01:07.847]the issues that you're passionate about.
- [00:01:10.401]I've learned and grown so much in the few years that I've been in photo classes and
- [00:01:14.779]I'm continually growing my portfolio and come graduation I'm going to have a huge
- [00:01:19.341]body of work that is extremely varied and it's easy to have a good relationship with
- [00:01:24.160]the faculty because the class sizes are relatively small. You get a lot of
- [00:01:28.694]one-on-one attention. The photo program at UNL is built in a way to help me
- [00:01:33.344]become a professional practicing artist.
