It's 12:46 am on a Monday (meaning Sunday night) and I am about to go to ACCD's Hillside campus because I hear their print/scan facilities are open 24 hours this week for finals. I have to print, scan, tape, review, go home, Photoshop (the verb, though I've been mostly Illustrating lately - as in Adobe Illustrator), then hopefully I will be finished.
Now I remember why I was so happy to never have to go to school again when I got my degree. Homework really bums me out, man. Also, my macbook is on the verge of being out of order. I'm really glad it has made it this far.
Later this week I plan on backposting a several days of posts that I missed. Sorry for the inconvenience. (I'm really just apologizing to myself, I'm sure I'll understand, what with the busy schedule and all.)

Tonight's class was about photography. I felt totally lost afterward. I feel like I am generally camera savvy and have taken a good picture once or twice in my life but everything the instructor said during crits had me going "whaaaaa?"
Our assignment tonight was to shoot our classmates for the cover of an imaginary magazine. We had about an hour to go out and about campus shooting each other, then returned to the classroom to review our work.
A lot of what he liked from our batch was super out of focus, blurry, and/or had light trails all over the place, which I understand can be cool sometimes. Most of this was due to the fact that we were using cameras that were unfamiliar. We didn't know how to adjust the settings of so we were just shooting and shooting, hoping something good might come out of it. He kept saying "I really liked what you did with (insert terrible photography mishap here)" but I didn't think anything was really usable and nothing we did was intentional. I know it's normal to for an unintentional shot to be a rather good one, but I really didn't feel like any of them were good. They may have been good as art, but not for a magazine cover.
Anyway, I left class tonight having felt like I learned nothing at all, which is unusual for this course and very frustrating. Instead I feel more confused about what I think are good photos and what a professional thinks is a good shot.
…now you can buy gesso and rabbits are like, fine with it.
