Been sick for a few days. My on-call week started today at 10:30am. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to get enough sleep to recover from this illness in time for me to fly out to Portland on 5/1. If I’m not lucky, I’ll have a less-than-optimal vacation.

I haven’t done much in the realm of photography since the water drop photos. I just haven’t really had the time. If I do get some free time, I might give it another shot. I’ve picked up some gels and have a few other things I want to try in terms of the setup to hopefully achieve better results. We shall see.

The lighting class that I’ve taken is 3 weeks down. So far it’s all been fundamentals — which have been about 98% wasted on me. There’s been a couple of things explained in interesting ways that I’ve been able to get something out of, but for the most part it’s been a bit of a waste of time. Hopefully things pick up soon, because I’m having a hard time investing my time when I’m getting so little out of the experience.

I think I’m going to go nap on the couch and hope I don’t get any calls.
