impossible to be motivated, after this weekend. my brain has checked out for the summer.

however, in addition to the 10-page paper that needs to get written at some point, evidently I am fucked on my photo portfolio, because I suck at life and took a lot of useless, terrible pictures this quarter. frustrating to have nothing to put in it that I can make cohere (current options: half macro/objects, half people in which case I need more people; 1/3 people, 1/3 landscape-ish, 1/3 macro/objects, in which case I need more landscape-ish.) either way I probably have to shoot more, but all my friends are probably busy stressing so I don't want to bother them, and I'm not in the mood to do photos/driving. I guess there are some old barns out on Douglas but meh. I want more St. Joe shots, but can't afford the gas money or the time to go home and get them.

of course, all through this I have 8 GB of photos on my computer, including some really amazing ones that would work perfectly. but he wants new work, and even though as long as I made sure they were from the right season he'd have no way of knowing, ethics are winning because I am both lame AND a masochist.

I always wanted to be a photo model for my visual artist friends in high school, so if you need someone to take pictures of, I'll pose for whatever setup you want.

Go ahead and ask about photos of friends anyway, they'd be flattered and I'm surely not the only one who would find it fun. Maybe you could take a walk in town and get some cityscapes, if you want landscape photos.

I'm sorry to meddle; you've probably thought of this all already. I just want to help if I can. I want to get some more time in hanging out with you anyway before you head off to Scotland.

Yeah... I know. It's just frustrating, because I don't want to work on it. Which is frustrating in and of itself, because normally I ENJOY photography, but now it's just stressing me out. I just feel like such a failure for shooting so many bad pictures this quarter.

We really should hang out, though. Maybe you can accompany me on a downtown/around town excursion? Part of it is that I just feel like a goon wandering around alone taking pictures.

I can't imagine that your pictures are as bad as you say. I like the ones I've seen. I need to go downtown to turn in some books to the public library and buy a few things anyway. I'm also going to see if I can get a ride to Meijer's sometime, I need to pick up some stuff for my soldier's first package.

Let me know when works for you. I have a lot to get done, but my schedule itself is pretty open. The only caveat is that I can't go anywhere after sunset, because I have a headlight out, although if we make a Meijer run I'll be able to work on remedying that.
