Rob Goldman Workshop (4/27/10)

Firstly, I'd like to say how awesome a person Rob Goldman is. He's funny, nice, intelligent, artistic, and overall amazing.
Secondly, I've been into Postsecret for a really long time now, but never really got to contribute anything (my mom is completely anti-Postsecret. Shocking, right?) so I was very excited to be making a secret, even if I don't end up sending anything in.
I knew what we were doing as we walked down to the community center, so I started to think of a secret there. At first I thought I didn't have any secrets that no one knows. Eventually I thought of something, though by the time I got to the community center said secret had morphed. I was really excited to be working with a secret unrelated to my disorder. It was a nice change.
I was having trouble whether or not to choose secret a or secret b which was much darker. I forced myself to choose a for a change.
Shooting was really fun. I was partnered with Juliana, and she's one of my really good friends so I was comfortable around her. Even when we were shooting and the secret was serious, we laughed in between shots.
My favorite thing about the workshop is what I discovered about myself. Thinking about my secret in front of the white paper revealed things to me about why I feel that way and what other things I feel.
I'm really excited to see how the pictures came out.
