What were Ashley's early experiences with photography?
Going to the mailbox every month and getting that magazine was probably the best day of the month for me. I just poured over the images. Ashley took her camera everywhere she could and jumped at opportunities to use it. In high school, she worked for the yearbook and took a job at a portrait studio where she excelled. But in her mom's eyes, it was essential that she went to college. She had dropped out of college to marry my dad, and that ended up not really working out really well for her. Her situation was always very much, you know, go to college, don't end up like me. And so I did end up going to a community college. My mom was sort of pushing me into becoming a teacher. And so I had spent my years at the community college kind of on that track.
I knew it wasn't right for me. And then once I was kind of ending that and figuring out what the next step was, I was at work at the portrait studio and I had picked up a magazine and there was an ad for Brooks Institute in there. The Brooks Institute of Photography was a small private college in Santa Barbara, just north of L.A. Founded in 1945, it had built a solid reputation for training award-winning photographers. Ashley was connected with a recruiter named Tim. He asked her about her goals and her love for photography. He sounded really enthusiastic about the program. And then he started asking me questions about my life. What is it like with a single mom? How is your relationship with your boyfriend? How is your relationship with your family?
These questions probably sound a bit invasive for a college recruiter. But remember, Brooks represented a dream come true and an escape. Her relationship with her mom was tense because of college. And her relationship with her boyfriend wasn't particularly healthy either. So Tim presented a way out.
