numbers and multi-tasking

So I had my second session of photography class with the great Mark Lacy. Just going over the basics of settings, it all makes such sense when it’s explained, just another thing entirely when i try to put it in practice! My goal is to get a real dslr by next year, at this rate, i’ll never get there, i know rome wasn’t built in a day but my brain is lousy at multitasking, especially when numbers are involved! So this is one of my efforts at being aware of settings, granted it was harsh morning light but other attempts too have either been too noisy or just blown out. frustration insues

meme’s the word

opened up flickr friday morning to discover a meme making the rounds, as it was friday I thought what a fun way to explore a bit and learn some more about my flickr friends.

The concept:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker).

The Questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name.

It’s fun. Go play and leave me a link to your mosaic on my flickr page.
