I worked forever today! I am so beat. Yesterday I went to WPPI with my friend Prinya. I was looking for a new tripod. I found the Manfrotto 055BPROB. It was $189 show price. I hesitated and I am hearing the little voices in the back of my head. Get it! Should I get it?! No! Wait. Glad I waited. I found it on amazon.com today for $142. BIG price difference. I also found the Giottos MTL9371B. It is a little more expensive than the Manfrotto tho. I did pick up the Black Rapid camera strap. Kinda nice how it screws in onto the bottom of your camera and it makes it easy to shoot as well. It is the woman's version of it which is nice for us bustier broads ;)

I started working on my Portrait Master assignment for my Portraiture class. I am doing it on Harry Benson. I really go inspired by him when I saw his lecture at the Cheyenne campus in November. He's a Scottish lad and he has great talent. He has been doing photography for 60 years. It's not due until March 1st but I wanted to get a jump on it. I did a photo shoot this weekend also for my portraiture class. Person with Pet. But, the Ranger kit I was using died after about 36 pics. Apparently, the student that used it before me failed to charge it after they used it. REAL NICE!!! So, I am going to re shoot it next week. The weather is supposed to get shitty this week so outdoor portraits will be no fun.

An awesome professional make up artist came in to my Portraiture class last night. His name was Jim Sacca. He was awesome. He talked a lot but I learned a lot as well. Got the new issue of Guitar World today. I should call it Metallica World. It is an all Metallica issue. AWESOME! My awesome husband brought it home and surprised me with it today. I got to read it while I got my hair did. Uploaded all my pics to the LVD Fremont sight on Flickr. Hopefully, I get some good responses. I uploaded 5 regular images and 5 fish eye images. I have found that the fish eye works best in full sun.

Week two already. I am heading downtown in the morning to do some shooting for my Las Vegas Document class. I have never shot downtown just for the sake of shooting whatever strikes my fancy. I hope to see some interesting people, cool architecture, and cool people that won't give me any shit about shooting on their property ;)
