One step closer to being a real photographer...

Today I got my light meter! For those of you that don't know what a light meter is... it looks like this:

It does readings of the light on a subject so that I can correctly expose my images. It's a very nice and professional thing to have. :) One step in the right direction of actually being able to feel like a real photographer. At this point, I kind of feel like I have lucked out with my images, but who knows.

Also, yesterday a few of my fellow students in my lighting class and I rented a studio at the school for the morning to get our projects/homework done. It was really fun and I learned a lot. I'm glad to start meeting more people in my department that are really awesome people to hang out with. Most of us went out for mexican food after working. SO glad to start having some people to hang out with and to work with finally. Maybe now this city might be a better fit for me. Only time will tell.

Distractions.

I have officially finished week 2 of my classes. I'm pretty happy that things are going right along, I'm just having issues with my assignments. I've had a lot on my mind and have been distracted. It's been a very hard week or so. I keep getting pretty terrible critiques on my images. Luckily, things are looking up because it's still early in the semester and the sun is still shining.

In the midst of all the chaos that has been going on, I got a roommate. She's very nice, but I doubt we'll be hanging out very much- Just different personality types.. That's ok though, especially because I have been meeting some really cool people lately. People that I hope will become good friends quickly.

Well I am not feeling so hot tonight, so it's off to bed for me. I hope you all sleep well and miss you!
