A Letter for college.

So this post is for my sister as she's ready to venture off to college.

' I understand that you've been looking around for some colleges and even have a few scholarships lined up for you. I also understand that one of those scholarships is to NAU. While I do suggest that you pick whatever college you feel like, but scholarships are pretty helpful.

But secondly, are you still unsure what you wish to study? I remember last time you wanted to study photography. I'm not sure if that is still the case, I don't keep up with these things. BUT! NAU is a pretty chill place ( no pun intended) and if you do want to study photography  there's so many sources to shoot and help with your artwork.



Particularly, downtown Flagstaff has many art galleries and there's a monthly custom here called the 'Art Walk'. At the beginning of each first Friday of every month, all of the shops, galleries, bars, and restaurants open up to the street and the entire downtown becomes a huge art gallery, this the Art Walk's name. For one night, a few square miles becomes a flashy, bright, and colorful collection of images and art.



 Downtown Flagstaff is already pretty amazing, it's like it was ripped from a Hollywood set and dropped in Arizona.Now think in terms of photography. You'd be able to get amazing shots every first month, while having fun and essentially diving headfirst into the local culture. Which is something I know we cannot do from home, even if you do have the car. It's all walking distance from campus.


Oh, and there's bound to be other photographers doing their thing too. '
