By Kayla Perkins–As the school year comes to an end seniors prepare to wrap up their college careers. For some this involves simply meeting with advisors, but for others, for the art students, it involves expressing their growth in senior art shows. However, for one student, growth would not be able to be reflected.<\/p>\n
Jennifer Fleming, a photography major, experienced an art student’s worst nightmare when her computer crashed, and the past four years of her work were wiped out.<\/p>\n
Jennifer \u201cJenny\u201d Fleming was a week away from her senior art show, and a day away from printing her pictures when her computer crashed overnight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember picking up her computer, because the screen was blue, and waking her up, because her computer had crashed,\u201d said Megan Bailey, Fleming\u2019s roommate and friend of three years. \u201cIt was horrible, because she was so close to her show, and then it was all gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite taking her computer to tech services, all of her files and pictures could not be saved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just said \u201cwe\u2019re sorry, we couldn\u2019t get it back.\u201d They were just as baffled as I was, Macs never get the blue screen of death. It\u2019s heartbreaking, that\u2019s four years of my life just gone,” said Fleming.<\/p>\n
However, what was more heartbreaking was the fact that her art show was a week away, and she had nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI panicked, and there were a lot of tears, I\u2019ll admit,” said Fleming. “I was supposed to print my pictures the next day, and then I had nothing to show.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, despite the odds Jenny was able to come through with her art show, displaying photos in both black and white and in color in Morningside\u2019s library.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the best, and it didn\u2019t reflect my growth very well, because they were older pictures, but I think, given the circumstances I was in that I did a decent job pulling through,” said Fleming.<\/p>\n
And when asked for any advice she had to give she nodded sagely.<\/p>\n
\u201cBack up your images! Back them up! Save them everywhere, seriously, I can\u2019t pressure that enough,” said Fleming. You never know what might happen, and you should always have backups anyway so save your stuff! Always.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
