When a show comes to an end, usually the curtain falls. Yet, this was not the case during week 9 at CAM. I am not exactly sure why the black velvet cape had to go up, but despite my ignorance, it's so odd to see our work space so open. We continued to document gelatin silver prints in the collection. Hugo Leopold's works, although a bit redundant in theme, were beautiful. I was curious as to where the 'beach-esque' photographs were shot, and Shannon, after researching a bit, deduced that the shots were taken somewhere in California. We also shared a lunch together on Thursday, as Enaam and Sarah worked diligently in the kitchen to make us all at CAM a beautiful meal that consisted of mostly Vietnamese cuisine. All were silent, which meant that the food was delicious. It was so nice coming together to eat, as this is a sure sign of an ending to what has been a wonderful working experience. On Friday, there was more silence, as I did not have to partake in writing an entry for the journal because we will be writing a wrap-up entry next week. It's so shocking that next week will be the end of the exhibition project, but I am looking forward to the coming week's activities because I have been able to make some time to come in a a few extra hours. We also have gained a few more interns, since the summer B semester has begun. We have a new blogger on board, Marysia, so I spent some time Thursday explaining to her the ins-and-outs of the blog. I was pleased to see Friday afternoon that she had already submitted two entries. Surely, I am going to miss interning at CAM, but that absolutely does not mean that I won't be back to enjoy one of my favorite places to be on campus. I feel so fortunate that I have been able to get to know the staff more intimately and work with them on such an important documentation and exhibition project.
