I'm posting this up tonight, because tomorrow is my final exam for a crazy two-credit accelerated Introduction to Law class. I've just finished digesting a week-long class that consisted of 30 hours of lecture time, 300 pages of cases and doctrine, and nearly 40 pages of single-space typewritten notes into three pages of Things I Need to Figure Out By 1pm Friday.Today's strip completes yesterday's to some extent, possibly making the pair funny if you read them together. I was experimenting with smaller strips as a lazy man's way of making sure I got something out, but I'm not certain I like the scripting since it's not a typical 3-panel gag. Something in my backbrain seems to want to tell an extended story, which means I may need to get back to a full-page layout after all, which means more setup time because it means more shots, and I'm starting to get frustrated at my old Canon Elph 2.0 megapixel camera.
Even with a tripod, zoom and macro in various combinations I still get lots of blur and too much reflected glare from the caracters and wind up discarding some really nice shots and having to reshoot them.
It's all part of the learning process, I suppose, and at least I don't have to tell my subjects to sit still and stop fidgeting. I mean, I do tell them but I don't think they listen (no ears... I just noticed that too...). Offhand, I think I would be miserable as photographer or a hairdresserif I had the misfortune to specialize with small children as my customers.
Unless of course I billed myself as an "artiste" and got away with making a "statement" out of the blurred photos and mangled bowl cuts...
