Day 604 - The picture update

...

Getting more portraits for my photo project...

...

Amber and I chatted for a bit after I took her portrait. It's been awhile. She told me a cute story.

...

I forgot to export my animation from my Digital Art class. I was going to export it and upload it to Vimeo (and embed it here). We just needed to show at the very least VERY rudimentary skills in Adobe After Effects...and as you will all eventually see...mine is nothing else BUT RUDIMENTARY.

Scott was my inspiration. In studio foundation 1 (where I originally met Scott and he thought my name was Kevin) the class needed to make a cardboard sculpture. Scott made a sloth. He told the class he did so because, "I watched a youtube video the other night about sloths...aaaaand I thought they were cute."

...so yes...that is indeed a sloth in my animation.

Ill try to grab it out of the digital dark room computer in the next few day.

Don't laugh at me when you see it...

Day 604-random

So the whole world of Canon shooters is anxiously awaiting new cameras from this years Photokina event.

The 50D has already been announced, and there are rumors of 7D and 3D. Both of those (if real at all) may be Full Frame sensors...but who knows.

The big BIG news will be what the deal is with the new 5D Mark II body.

There is a teaser ad for a new body right here, which may be the new 5D Mark II.

A rumor has been going around about why the new 5D body will be sucha big deal

"I've been told that Canon has a new "miracle sensor" coming that has the ability to sense the proper ISO needed for several "zones" within a photo at once. IE, the bright sky will get ISO 50, while the shaded area under the brim of a person's hat may get ISO 400....all automatically to allow the entire image to be correctly exposed. Something similar to in-camera, one-frame only HDR results."

If that is true that shit would be crazy.

We'll see what the rest of the month holds...


...should I drop a shit load of money next month and upgrade, even though I upgraded about 5 months ago???

(probably not)

Day 603

...

And so starts the new (and first) project for Photography semester 2.

...

Annabelle was willing to have her picture taken.
I am trying to get as many people as possible to have their picture taken.
So get ready.

All of you will need to stand for a few minutes and participate. Most of that time will probably taken up while I try and figure out why my shit equipment doesn't work.
...

Gordon was a sport about it too...

...

What song do you want to be played while you are lowered into the ground at your funeral (or whatever it is your wish is for you passing into the other side)?

...

I haven't been sleeping well over the last month or so.

...

turns out I WILL need to shoot at least one project this semester on film...

...boo.

Oh well.

I can manage.


...time to bust out the rolleicord
(*note. I am an idiot. It doesn't matter what speed film you load into that camera...it doesn't know. The only reason it would matter is if you used the exposure guide chart on the back of the camera = Sometimes I have NO IDEA what I am talking about)

I am not dead.

...

I woke up today feeling much better.
It appears I may have had, what one guy put it as, 'the death cold' that has been going around.

I feel pretty fine now.

...

My sister got back into the country a few days ago.

She came up and we got lunch. She also had some things from Korea to give me.

...

My sis and Lacey also spent some time catching up.

...

I read an interesting article today for my Greek Vase Painting class today.

But I am not going to tell you about it.

Needles to say...it was about wine.

and it was all true.
