My GED and I

A Rose at Last

01 Realizing that I didn't have these online I decided that I should post them. Yay for getting a lot of things done in a short period of time!

Tattoo took 5 hours total. Done at Tatt's by Zapp in Stillwater, Paully was my amazing artist. He did a fantastic job of taking the images that I brought him and making a one of a kind piece fore me! Thank you Paully!





Also, Thank you Dahmon for taking the pictures for me!

Much To Be Done

01 So even though I have a lot to do, I figured I would take a minute to write about it. So for the craft show on Sunday, I got some business cards ordered, I ordered 500 of them, so they should keep me going for a while. They have a web address on them though, and the site doesn't have anything on it yet, so I need to do that by Sunday. I have 4 out of the 50 mated prints that I have supplies for done. Well I have lots more than that to do, so here is a list because that is all i have time for

Finalize biz card design - and hopefully get printed by sunday
Reprint 14 5x7's
Mount the 20 5x7's that are correct
make 50 more cards
Put items up on Etsy website
Design and Print Banner

And More...

Still Awake

01 So, I had an inspiration for a photo as I was laying in bed pondering sleep... So here I am almost 2 hours later still working on it... Yay for insprations... :P I need sleep soon!

Campfire?

01 Wow blogging from around a camp fire... crazy thing. I am in the process of waiting for the butter to soften from being in the cooler so we can make grilled cheese.... ok that is enough :P

The Bummer

01 So the bad thing about starting school, is that the classes I am taking are going to make it so I am unable to go to the TCPPA meetings :( Which means that I am going to miss the boat cruise in Stillwater because that is the day that I start class... :( Sad day. Atleast I still may go up there for the walk around shoot, and see if I can capture some cool shots.

Speaking of TCPPA I still need to contact Darton and see if I can get copies of some of the pictures he took of me at the last meeting I went to.

My 4 (well 5)

Here are the classes I will be taking...

GD1401 Fundamentals of Design

This course will introduce the basic principles of design. Using a variety of materials and techniques, the creative process will be introduced and developed. An exploration of design elements and relationships will establish a basic aesthetic sensitivity.

GD1402 Drawing & Perspective

Visual awareness is expanded through the observation and translation of 3-D form into 2-D drawings, starting with simple forms and progressing to more complex organic forms. Students will increase their skill levels in construction techniques, composition, line quality, and human anatomy.

PH1410 History and Survey of Photography

This course will provide a framework for critically considering significant photographers and their work. Students will be expected to describe, interpret, and evaluate the origins, stylistic changes, and artistic innovations in the history of photography from the 19th Century through contemporary times.

GE1410 English I

This course is the first of two courses in the composition sequence. Students are introduced to college-level writing as a process of developing and supporting a thesis in an organized essay. The use of appropriate diction and language is emphasized along with reading and responding to the writing of others. Students will adhere to the standard conventions of written English.

PA095 College Success

This seminar is designed to help incoming students make a successful transition to the academic, cultural and social climate of Ai Minnesota. Highlights of the course include a focus on the necessary survival skills for academic and personal growth and development. There is no charge or credit for this class.

Student ID

01 Went to MPLS again today. The day started off by writing two short essay's before I got on the bus at 9:30. They are for a merit based scholarship that I hope I get. When I got to the art institute at about 11:30 I finished my accuplacer test, I didn't pass the algebra portion though... I was off by 5 points so if I would have gotten one more question right I would have been fine. I got a list of some websites to help me review so I can pass next time. After that it was already 12:15 so I left the school and went to meet Maxine too look at a couple apartments. I looked at two different 2 bedroom units. I liked both of them though I think I liked the second one better even though it is more expensive. I know I want something that I love, so spending a little more to me is worth it. After looking at the two appts, I went back to the art institutes and got my student ID, dropped off some more financial aid paper work and got to register for classes. After that I talked with Andy for a couple minutes and was on my way. I stopped at National Camera and bought a tripod today as well

Searching

01 So I have began searching for an apartment in MPLS. I have found a couple that I really like, and even have an appointment to look at a two bedroom one tomorrow afternoon. I am going to be getting a two bedroom because come fall Hannah will be moving in with me. I am really excited about finding an apartment and then doing all the fun decorating things... because if i weren't going into the Photography program at AII, i would probably be doing something with interior design. I have already been looking at couches, dining room tables and bed frames on craigs list and i have quite the list of ones i like so far... a couple white couches that I actually really like. I am going to try not to spend too much on decorating my apartment, but I want it to be a really nice space that is beautiful, and airy and somewhere that I can constantly be inspired. Being a photographer, I have a couple of my photogrphs that I plan on printing large copies of to frame for in my apartment.

DwellSpace On Twitter...

01 That is right, Dwell Space now has a twitter... should be interesting....
