Beer… It’ll Fix What Ale’s You
Ryan and I were talking the other night about how neither of us has gotten sick this flu season. I’ve been expecting it, and every throat tickle has me worried, but nothing. So our theory: we drink enough alcohol that it kills all the harmful junk in our systems. Either that or our body is so fully excercised from dealing with the alcohol that it is strong enough to fight off the sickness. Either way, take note.
So last night in our photo class we had the opportunity to show our work on the big screen in front of the class. Not to brag, but….. HEY YOU STUPID PRIMA DONNA BITCHES! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM PICTURES?! That’s right. Half the class didn’t even follow the assignment (but maybe that’s acceptable in an art class, I don’t know), and a few people took about 120 (ok, that’s a literal number of the guy who sits in front of me who makes jokes then says, “You wouldn’t get it, its a Renaissance Fair thing”) pictures instead of the requisite 50. I’m not fully happy w/ the pics, so I’m going to take a few more this weekend, but here’s the best of what I’ve taken so far (click on the pic for the album):
The assignment was to get pics of something from far away, then get closer and closer until you’ve got cool abstract detail pictures. Mostly what I saw was random pictures of lots of different things. I got the impression that a lot of people saw this as their opportunity to show off what they thought to be their best work. OK, I know I’m an engineer and that makes me a little anal about rules, but come on!
Work sucks a big one. I’ve applied for 2 jobs within my company, but FAAAAAR away from the job I have now. It is such an unhealthy, happiness draining environment. You make your own happiness, right? So that’s what I’m doing.
Oh, and before you write me comments about how I misspelled something in my title, use your noggin. (and by the way, that was REEEAAAAALLLY funny the other night when Ryan and I came up with it…..drunk)
that’s a really good shot. city brochure material
you rule.
Greg and I don’t get sick either…we figure it’s for the same reason. Except in our case it’s cause we’re wino’s.
Your class assignment pics are great! All the prima donna’s are probably talking about you behind your back!
haha
I got the meaning in the title.
What is that called? Alliteration? Double Entendre? I should break out my son’s literature book.
Nice pictures.
I HATED it when they wouldnt follow the assignment when I was in Art School!
I always did. To the letter.
The little freshman would get pissed when I would get an A and they would get a C or less.
So I still want to know what this utterly interesting thing that you’ve photographed actually is. These shots are really nice.
Prima Donna Bitches, lol. You’ve got it in for…somebody.
J
Can I just say that your husbands job is even starting to piss ME off? I don’t know how you do it!
Love that picture… very cool!
Michele sent me!!

Blogger is down for maintenance but you can still get into the sites.
However, only the ones with some other comment program will work to post comments.
Fortunately, I have Haloscan comments on mine.
Regarding the pictures: I love the patterns in the concrete. Not spiders (eight legs), some sort of beetle, insect, six legs. The shadow pattern of the tree is great too. Very nice.
cool photo
I love the fact that most people have no freakin’ idea how to take a picture. It makes my own fatigue-fuelled escapades with my camera all the more rewarding.
From my perspective, you deserve an A. Great shooting.
It isn’t just art students that think they’re above the assignment. I used to teach writing in a large university and people would always ignore the assignment and write what they wanted. It drove me nuts.
I like your photos. Thoughtful shooting.

Great photo! I would also love to know what/where it is. Here from Michele’s tonight.
