Slow Going.


I'm kind of relaxing this week. I finally got in the DVC class for sure, but I'm starting to fell I will be over-powered by a multitude of things soon. I'm also worried that the DVC teacher doesn't know as much as he claims to...For the last three classes, he's just had us sit there, for at least an hour, and help those who need it. Well, one class whats about the basics of a camera. But, for people like me who already know how to use their camera's basic functions, it's a bore. And I have to sit there and wait for the sign in sheet otherwise I might get dropped. None the less, I figure the class will pick up soon after everyone can work their cameras and photoshop well enough.
So far, I have a ton of photographs for my book, but need lots and lots more. I have a lot that I like, and a couple that I love. But my goal is to get to the point where I can't decide on which photographs. That way, I know that I have a great selection of photographs.

Jake has done the biggest favor for me. He's been reading my blogs and found a website that published books for cheap! I'm really excited that it's $20 each, and 60 cents per page ! I OWE YOU BIG TIME, JAKE. <3 It's not what I had in mind (the type of book) but it fits my budget better than $200 dollars a pop! Now I can for sure buy more than one. C: !!

I just got an idea...maybe a multimedia section? Or add it to the misc. section? Hmm...

Another Week

Well, it's week two, day two. I've taken a lot of photographs. I've got a small list of photographs I can use in my miscellaneous category, but my landscape category is a little empty...At least that makes it easier; I now have a priority.
The DVC class is going easy so far, first homework assignment is due Thursday, and I have 90% of it done by just enjoying myself. W00t! I'm going to do my best not to mix homework for Porter's class with homework for this class. No slacking! :]
One tough thing is finding someone, a small Indie company, to publish my book. It's difficult to know exactly what to Google...I also need to call Lisa Evens. I'm excited about talking with her because I can also use her as someone to interview for my paper.
