going to school. having to do it correctly. major:photography problem: raised in texas and scared of the "big city" are there rad art schools in the city? where is a choice place to live? what is cheap? what is unsafe? will people make fun of my accent? is there anything i should definately prepare for? (besides the climate?) help please!! |
brooklyn seems cheap are you currently studying photography? I am a photography student as well here is my gig http://members.tripod.com/accustat there are plenty of art schools in NYC if you got the dough unsafe is attempting to buy crack in alphabet city (aveneue D ((is for DANGER)) ) at 3am so i have heard anyway swine who is a resident can give you more dibs on it though |
I understand Alphabet city is making a comeback of sorts - haven't tried the crack there though |
On the other hand, there's a Cop Shoot Cop (circa 1994) song that's full of images of decay and degradation, with the line "found ourselves on B and 3rd one more time." This must have been before the renovation. |
i don't think i am going to live in the dorms. cause i have a friend that is going to be going back to school as well. but i don't know how he going to do it. he doesn't like dorm life that much either but he is trying to go back to Bard. the dough isn't really an issue. i just have to make a presentation to my parents that they won't get a phone call saying i have been killed or something. (they are small town folk) though i get told i don't sound like i am from the south. i keep getting told i sound like i am from california. what are some of the schools? i am in it for the music and all that mesh honestly. which is sad. |
http://www.schoolofvisualarts.edu/sva.html http://www.pratt.edu/ad/index.html http://www.nyaa.edu/ http://www.columbia.edu/cu/arts/ i am doing a photo assignment right now, the pretext is, I am doing a photo essay on Los Angeles for NYC based photo rag, basically I am to educate view photography somethings they may not know about LA.....such as the amazing architecture we have here, everything from modern, to post modern, victorian, baroque and so on........it's turning out to be a great assignment for i am learning a lot about LA i didn't know. For example, i went to this neighborhood next to mine that has the highest concentration of victorian era homes. It's minutes from downtown, in fact the skyline view for many of these homes is amazing. These 5 or 6 square blocks are situated on the first hill outside of downtown, many east coast people camer here at the turn of the century and they built what they knew from back east, and being newcomers, they all lived next teach other, hence house after house after house of beautiful victorian homes.......the streets are still ined with teh old gas lamps and are absolutely beautiful. We also havealot of historical bridges and overapasses, either connecting the hand full of hills in the echo park downtown area (thats another thing, LA has hills alot like SF too, i live on one!) or crossing the LA river....anyway, if you go to NYC with a camera in tow, you should be able to score real well assuming your drive is there.... |
heh? |
|
i have applied to the CUNY system and i requested info from Pratt as well. i feared those were the closest matches. these others help a lot!! |
(ahem!) "i just noticed your email is for the UK, yet you live in the south?" heh? sorry just really really curious |
i am actually in dallas texas. while i have no proof to support this (except my angst) trust me it is so. persistent aren't we? |

Another sorabjite from Texas! I think Droopy is in Ft. Worth. And I feel angst living in Dallas, Kymical. It's the most blatantly racist and classist city I've ever experienced. As for spanking... Only if the price is right and I get to bring the peacock feathers. |
all this time i thought that people that interested me lived in other cities! what a nice surprise.. |
a) make you rich b) make you famous c) chew you up and spit you out 2. if NYC does not spit you out, it will: a) make you rich b) make you famous c) keep right on chewing 3. when NYC is through with you, you will look like: a) a movie star b) a millionaire c) a bloody chunk of throbbing gristle 4. if you want to be safe, you should live in: a) manhattan b) queens c) nebraska d) staten island e) the bronx f) brooklyn 5. when moving to NYC, one should prepare to be: a) ostracized b) euthanized c) sodomized d) all the above use only #2 pencils and make sure to completely fill the selection circle without marking outside of the lines. failure to comply will result in 30 minutes in the cage playing "fit the big peg in the little hole" with bubba the love monkey. bubba likes the little hole. assume the position and begin. |

"The East Village itself is a cheaper, tougher SoHo--a lot of Ukrainian immigrants and struggling artists, but very little street violence. Unfortunately, the Village borders Alphabet City to the east and, after nightfall, Alphabet City is a no man's land of punk-rock gangs, anarchists, junkies, burned-out squats and crack dealers who like to shoot one another in the knee over who gets to sling rock on a given corner. Seriously, you'd see all these crack dealers with gimp legs. I guess the logic was that it's better to just blow off some guy's kneecap and put him out of commission for a while than kill him and risk a murder rap. In any case, I heard too many shots for comfort coming from Alphabet City, and every once in a while some bullshit from Avenue A or B would spill over into my neighborhood. The worst was one steamy night in July, when some guy got shot in the elementary school basketball court across from where I lived. He got hit in the back of the legs with a single shotgun blast as he was running across the court. I didn't see it, but I heard the boom and went to my window in time to see this poor bastard slowly writhing his way toward the chain-link gate, trailing a dark slick of blood behind him. A sedan was idling on the opposite street. I was afraid someone would get out and finish him off, but the people in the car just shouted taunts for a minute or so, then sped away. I'm pretty sure the people at the outside tables of the renowned Italian bakery nearby had time to finish their cannoli before the ambulance arrived." |
