2. Describe why you would like to attend MIAD and what you hope to gain from a MIAD education.
I would like to attend MIAD because one of my greatest passions is photography and I believe that MIAD has the tools to teach me everything I could ever want to know about the field. Up until recently, my goal for college was to go to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I grew up around it and ever since I can remember, I have wanted to go there. However, when I picked up photography about a year ago, that plan was no longer the one I wanted to follow. After taking a few shots of random things, I discovered that this is something I greatly enjoy. I love taking a picture and capturing the feeling of the moment or capturing the world, unadulterated.
What I would love to do with my photography, is fuse it with my other great passion: music. I would like to work at a concert venue and take photos of concerts, or work for a music magazine like AP. However, the greatest thing I could ever do with photography is capture the real world. I believe the news media is showing the world with a bias. They show what they want and not what the people need to know. I would like to go to foreign places, or even down the street in our own neighborhood, and show people that the world is a wonderful but also horrible place. I want to show them every emotion possible. I want to capture people bonding together in times of trouble, or countries falling apart in turmoil. Most of all, I would just like to make a difference, however big or small it may be. I believe the people at MIAD can teach me how to follow my dreams in the best possible way.
