I have learned that as a makeup artist, taking pictures is always necessary. Having a profile, resume, and portfolio (pictures) are essential when I am looking for more opportunities in the field. 

I am always really bad at taking photos. I have been trying to work on finding photos that I have done to compile in a book for future reference for one of my classes. My class is helping me prepare for the future and a real job. I am trying to take the class seriously. 

I have tried to find pictures of the films that I worked on this past semester. I did not take any pictures. I had to ask for them, even though I was unsure they would be able to give them to me. I asked if they had any that I could use for future use. They sent me some still photos from the film. I am so glad that they can do this. I am thankful for modern technology. I am thankful that still photos happen. Here are some of the photos from the films that I worked on as the Head Hair and Makeup Designer and Supervisor. One film was very natural, the other very post apocalyptic. I hope that y'all can enjoy what I have loved doing. I love creating designs and then being able to see the result. I love makeup! I could do makeup all day long. I guess that is why I am in the Theater Art Studies Major. 

I think this year I am going to do better at taking pictures and building up my portfolio. 

I also learned that in the Harris Fine Arts Center (HFAC) when the fire alarm goes off there is no need to panic. Today, during Count of Monte Cristo Rehearsals the fire alarm went off. We were the only ones who did not evacuate the building, only because we knew we set the fire alarm off. We have some fog machines that we kept on too long. Hence, the reason the fire alarm went off. All the fog collected and set the smoke detector off. We tried to tell people, we were the ones that set the fire alarm off. We continued to do full rehearsals throughout the entire time the fire alarm was going off. We did not panic. We were calm and kept going moving the scenes along as if nothing was happening. I love the Theater. No one left and life kept going on, even through the whole entire fire alarm.
