It’s finally happening! This Saturday I’ll be graduating from MSU with my BA from the Photography program. This moment is so bitter sweet, as I am sad to be closing this chapter of my life but so excited to see what the next one holds. Unfortunately this year’s graduates will not be able to celebrate together at a traditional ceremony. I am sad that us photo seniors will not be able to have our Senior Show, to get all dressed up, enjoy food and drinks, show off our hard work to faculty, peers, friends, family, and the public. This is the event many photo seniors look forward the most during our time in the program.

So, my dear friends and family, if you see our work posted to social media, show some love and share our work! This is the best option for us to be able to show it off this semester. With that said, here is my series, What the Idiom.

By nature, idioms are often statements that mean something completely different from what they literally say. Many of these sayings use animals to make a statement about something else. While most are aware they have little to do with the actual animal, it seems unlikely one would hear a statement like “early bird gets the worm” without picturing a bird with a worm; or “a fish out of water” and not picture a fish flopping helplessly on dry land. What the Idiom captures the silliness of common idioms and sayings and gives them a more literal context to bring some laughs and smiles to the viewers of this imaginary world.
