As you all
know, I have been pushing myself to get better at my photography. Being here at
the castle, I have unlimited access to a highly professional darkroom. I have
spent a lot of my weekend hidden in there staring at photos trying to print a
winner.
Here at the castle, there are contests for the staff to enter their photography and compete to have the best photo. This competition is on portraits on the staff here at Herrnhut. I have chosen my model and my concept, now I need to shoot and print. I will be jumping into the studio tomorrow and try my hand at medium format film. Medium format film is a lager film and allows for bigger printing. This is where everything gets tricky. I have never shot this style camera and I have only used studio lighting once before. Also printing larger than an 8x10 is kinda scary.
To enter the contest, the fee is 10€. The winner will take it all, the more entries, the bigger the cash prize. I have everything I need but the paper to print on. The size I need to be printing on is 30x40 cm (12x16 in).
I wanted to share with you what my latest art project is. If you think I have got what it takes to win this competition, I need your help. I try to spend my money wisely, and prioritize my finances. Even still, I don't having enough to buy a box of photo paper. I will spend you a copy of the photo if you decide to help me buy a box of photo paper. I need 75 euros for a new box, which is 102.61 dollars. Or even if 10 people gave 10 dollars, I could still get it. I would still send you the photo, no matter how much you gave to my art fund.

Even if you
are not in a spot to give, I would love for prayer and encouragement during
this contest. I am nervous to go up against the other photographers, but I am
confident I have a good chance.
