It’s been a while since I’ve been motivated to post here. That’s mostly because most of my time is taken up by work. Aside from that, I’ve been excerising my photography. About a couple of weeks ago I got to shoot unofficially alongside Calvina of Calvina Photography. She’s a friend from church who has an amazing porfolio of work. Definitely check her stuff out for inspiration. It was a great experience, albeit a very tiring and draining one. I learned much and will post some more pictures as well as my experience of shooting a wedding for the first time. I also got to capture some cool moments on my vacation trip to Denver to visit my sister and her new baby. I’ll definitely post those pictures as well once I finish doing some quick edits.

I’m finding myself shooting more and more in RAW now because of the ability to go back and edit since my camera sometimes limits me especially in low light situations. Also I’m kinda paranoid about quality loss with compression methods. (for example, I’m debating whether I should rip my CDs as .wav or 320 kbps VBR.) I also finally got my hands on the hardly sought after book, Never Sleep: Graduating Graphic Design. I’ve been trying to find a good price on this book since I read this post. It’s basically a biography about two designers who write about their experience of transitioning from student designer to professional designer. It is exactly where I will find myself in hopefully a couple years from now. I will post back about my thoughts about it. Lastly I’m currently working on a poster for my church. It is an 11″ x 17″ poster advertising the Children’s Mission Conference. I’m glad to have little projects like this to keep me working on design, as I find myself lacking motivation many times. It’s hard for me to design unless I’m given an actual problem, real or not.
