I've be struggling with motivation and grand ideas. I have a catalog that I need to make for one of my classes. We get to design it (all 16 pages) and we have to take all of the photographs for it by ourselves. It has been overwhelming and frustrating so far. My catalog/magazine (whatever) is going to be about making your own clothes thus showing some of the things that I have made. I thought it was going to be great and fairly simple to get photos cause all my clothes just fit me and I can set it up how I want and have someone snap the button. WELL... not so much. The professor made rules that you can't be in all your pictures and she discouraged having someone else take the photos because it needs to be us taking the photos but she did give in a little that if we get everything set up and just have someone hit the button then she'll be okay with it.
So far my ideas have been poo-pooed by my teacher and things pointed out about my type choices. I am at the point where I don't know where to go from here. On top of it all I have had a hard time finding time to take pictures with people that would actually fit in my stuff AND there is still daylight outside. It's been stressful. Stressful enough to the point that I have lost a lot of sleep this week and even when I do sleep by the time I wake up it doesn't feel like I have slept a wink. Blah. School, I love it but i hate it all at once.
On a brighter note, the sewing machine that my boss gave away because it didn't work? Yea not so broken after all. I mean it doesn't work but I took it to a repair guy today and he told me that one of the adjustment screws inside fell out completely and that was the only problem. He is servicing it and I'll have it back Monday. I'm pretty stoked that it will be in working condition for only the cost of servicing it. Good deal.
I am really hoping that once I get some photos taken tonight, hoping that the forecasted rain doesn't get in the way too much, will help spark a direction for my assignment. Other than that I think I am on my way to burning out due to insufficient sleep.
Anyway, here are some pics from the my non model photo shoot.

will she let you do photo's of yourself with a remote? I have a remote for my camera. I am more than happy to help you. When is it due?
It's not due until Oct 24th... well the final version we have check points along the way though. Sheesh our teacher made it seem like we had less time. So far on photography I scheduled one photoshoot. Things turned out fairly well. I have a beach cruiser bike that I am borrowing to do a few other shots with. So far photography wise I'm doing okay. Well see what else I feel I need when everything else gets fine-tuned. Thank you for your offer to help, I still may need it =)
