the quarter here has finally started to pick up and now, with a lull in the workload, i feel a little lost and out of it. trying to make time for everyone is much easier when there is just less time. In photographic terms, Griffin and i finally turned in our RAF online campaign, and it looked pretty sweet. the crit was a little lousy, with most of the comments being positive, and a few suggestions for reworking parts of the design and the type. Today we get our newest project, and then its back into the fray on monday (taking a climbing trip break this weekend to New Paltz).

Technical Photography

working on print a book for Imaging Systems, and learning a lot about how to successfully output books through indesign/HP laser printers. Somehow i'm very impressed with the image quality coming out of hp, and incredibly surprised how hard automated double sized printing is! took me about 30 minutes of testing to figure it out. Go free resources.

just put some of the final touches on our latest school project, screen shots when i get the comps back from the designer.

22 hours in the studio. its a welcome weekend!

Just entered into my first online photo contest! at the suggestion of my room-mates, i entered the current PDN EDU contest. We'll see how it goes!

Why the fuck shoot olympus

there is no good reason! i've been using their cameras unwillingly for the past few weeks for an underwater photo class. they are the only things we have with housings so we have to make due. after using nikon and phase exclusively for a few years now, i have gotten accustom to intuitive camera design and universal file formats. welcome to olympus where the camera layout sucks and the software is slower than dirt! (the file formats force you to use olympus proprietary software...bitches)

researching OLED monitors for class. they are pretty confusing, specially cause i don't have a degree in electrical engineering, like the guys building them do!
