Tomorrow is my last day of student teaching high school, again I feel blessed to have had my first experience at a private school, the kids were very well behaved and the class sizes were smaller than what one might see in the inner city. I learned a lot, and still could do to learn more, but we'll see what happens. I move on to do elementary for 5 weeks, though its actually only 3 days a week, which is why I did 10 weeks at the high school level. I have finally gotten around to photographing my larger pieces, most of which are 26"x40" in most cases, going to get some poster frames for them I think and then display them, possibly this spring if I can get a show together at the public library. I think part of my getting noticed is about networking and getting my stuff seen by as many people as possible, something I am going to work on more as I work on my graduate studies. My professor is ill again this semester, but I'm not in any classes, so I'll have to send along my well wishes to him and wish him a speedy recovery as well, hopefully I will see him this spring when I start my grad program. Hoping that I will be able to practice both PS an Illustrator more thoroughly, and find a niche that suits me for both my emerging digital style and my photographic one as well. We have a store on Etsy now as well...

Anyway, I hope I am able to get a wider variety of pics this semester forward, especially as I will be working for the campus photographer on occasion going to shoot events, and this Friday I am going to attend the iron pour, with the intention of getting some cool pics. So over the next little while the order of business is to stay as creative as possible, pay down some debts, order all the necessary papers needed to apply for licenses in BC, Washington and Oregon and attempt to stay sane through it all.
