I have to grab some lunch soon but did the ChrisDell Feature a few days back. This happened by accident because the SB-80 was on standby and didn't fire. I got another idea for this that I might try some other time. Should be awesome. Well I got to head over to work and get some Women's Soccer pics up. Then hopefully finishing my resume and portfolio tonight.

Oh yeah, smokers, I'll talk about that later.

boring = break. So umm. Probably gonna try to get an essay going on chinatown. I was trying to think about where I could go. Just somewhere different. Another state? That'd be nice. Heading over to the projects for one but don't feel like walking around with $1000 worth of equipment. There's complaints about lack of media coverage in the slums but then again, how many journalists want to go in? Then again, there's Iraq. hmm.

Need to do a ride along. Not sure how but I gotta do one.

Other than that, portfolio's going ok. Just need cover page, resume and photo essay. Yeesh. No idea what I'm doing.

I got a week.

Just at home for break. INSANELY BORED!! Sisters b-day was yesterday and xmas tommorow. Then it's back to school on January 4th. :) Umm, haven't taken many pictures over break. Wanted to go to Central Camera in Chicago. Apparently, it's pretty big so maybe after the holidays. Either way, I gotta get downtown and take some pics or at least find some events around the suburbs to shoot.

Oh yeah, got my other Cactus reciever 2 days ago :D so now I'm completely wireless! Can't wait to try it out. I got 3 flashes but the Canon 430EX doesn't work with em. hmph. EIther way, should work our pretty well with sports. Just need another light stand ($20)

Got 2 more knee injections and then its back to Macomb.


later

The Catwalk.

SB-80, originally uploaded by blazinhispazian.

I always feel special going up there. I don't think I'm too afraid of heights but I do get a little nervous up there the first few times of the year.

This parts actually past the catwalk where all the cables and wires are. Tried to put a flash up there for some spotlighting but it didn't really work out. Had it full blast max zoom and everything. It showed a little bit but maybe if I changed my settings. Either way, didn't have enough flashes on the ground. Only my 430EX on a 15' PC cord to work with.

Just gotta keep trying new things till I get it right. Oh yeah, need to try that tip where I turn the flash around so I can see the refresh llight. That is geinus.

In other news... might be heading over to the track meet at Eastern on Saturday. Should be able to try some cool stuff. Realized I only have limited range since I'm stuck with the PC cord. Hoping for another reciever for x-mas.

But then....radiopoppers are comming! I guess they're better than the triggers I got now but not as great as PW's of course. Might invest in those. I think those come out in January 08 so maybe i'll wait. Maybe just get another flash till then.

It's snowing here in Macomb. Only a few inches but its tricky on the bike. Knees' starting to hurt again so I might go back to driving. Well I got finals next week, gotta study.
