L'Année Deuxième

It's my Junior Year at RIT, second as a transfer photo student. I now live in a house with five other illustrators (technically, one of them is in Film & Animation), and people still think I'm an illustrator as well. I've made some recent updates to my photo section from last year’s projects. But just you wait, there's more to come. I've added a couple links to my ridiculously talented friends’ websites, Carly Schonberg and Jonghyup Son.

I've also started working at the Photo Cage so that had to be added to my résumé as well. Working there has given me so much more exposure to equiptment than I ever thought possible. Well, I knew that was one of the advantages but I had no idea how much RIT actually had to offer. For instance, I got to handle the digital Leica M8 for the first time. Also, never pull a plug out of a lighting battery before shutting it off. Bad idea. Good thing to know when assisting.

I recently had to say goodbye to my PowerBook. It's about two years old now so it’s done for good. But I was reunited with my hard drive, which is not gone for good. It just liked to pick it’s own time to start working. Although I intended on adding some more SportsZone posters to the design section, but unfortunately those were saved on my now defunct computer. So that pretty much explained my lack of updates for the past few months.

And just another side note: Once again I have been denied taking a French course, which is my minor. I haven't taken it since last winter. Thankfully I had about four years of it from high school and plenty of books to study from on my bookshelf. So I've been watching movies either dubbed in French or with subtitles. Did you know that Chicago has a French soundtrack as well? I never knew. Very bizarre watching Catherine Zeta Jones singing in someone else’s voice. I’m also trying to convince my aunt, who lives in Paris, to let me come stay with her for a week or so for my winter break. We’ll see how that goes.
