Been a while since I wrote, figured I should.

I got back in Skokie on Sunday.

Been pretty bored since.

Anywho, get to head downtown tomorrow morning. Not for the typical crazygonuts shopping like other people, just want to hit up Calumet Photographic for some equipment. I'll be there at around 8:30 am so all the crazies i'll probably already be on their 3rd or 4th store by then. Probably try to get some pics while I'm down there. No idea how much I'll spend, hopefully not much.

Heading back to Macomb on Saturday. Got an article and photo assignment to finish. Yeesh.

Later

Another busy weekend of sports. Not XC, just haven't uploaded any pics in a while. Had a doubleheader basketball game Friday and a photo assignment in between games. Then just soccer today.

Just finished up my 5 page paper for Mass Comm. Only took a few hours. Need some editing though.

Rosa Parks March

Rosa Parks March, originally uploaded by blazinhispazian.

Someone came into the office last night and said there were people marching down Adams Street. Having my camera, I ran out and shot it. Must've been a little after 8pm.

Spotted the police lights and had to run down to Western Ave. (1 minute run) to catch up with em. There were a lot more people than I expected. Had a police escort and everything. I asked one of the men marching and he told me it was the African American Students Association or something similar. Not sure why the march was about Rosa Parks. If this was a real assignment, I'd do my resarch of course.

I think this is one of the only shots that came out. Color wasn't too great so I desaturated it. Tried some panning stuff but don't think it would've fit with the event. Focusing with that 50mm f/1.8 is brutal in low light. Can't wait for that 430EX Flash to come in!

Anyways, basketball double header tonight starting at 6 going to about 10 or 11 tonight. Gonna be a busy one. Better get my cards cleared and batteries charged.

P.S. - Off camera flash is freakin awesome!! Still learning it...

ADAM SACASA/WIU ATHLETICS The angle I'm working on. I shoot this without looking in the viewfinder so it's iffy. Got a doubleheader this weekend so it should turn out nice in the mens game if there's some dunks.

So I calculated it out. I need about $1297.86 to break even by the end of the year. With my jobs and work with the Summit League, I think I should be okay but until then, I'll be trying to live like I'm near broke for a while. Cut back on driving unless I have to. Look for something else to do besides getting movies at Family Video on the weekend. I mean, it's a dollar, maybe two but there's gotta be something free thats fun around here. Just gotta look.

I'm not in debt or anything. Guess I just want some financial security.

This weekend was crazy. Guess working near 20 hours helped, plus one freelance job. 2 vball games, football and basketball.

I need to get more assertive and find more jobs with visiting schools. Start finding local papers and making calls. I need all the income I can get. Next purchase I plan on getting is a remote trigger from Adorama. It's $100 and theres a ton of applications I can think of but I'll wait on buying it till I'm sure I'll have enough money in May.

Going to photoshop a pic real quick, then back home for a quick dinner, then that Mock election all night.

bah.
