This morning wake up:
- Morning warmup and stretching was good, 20 minutes, I keep on adding, seemingly without effort.
- Probably should add core work to the warmup section, unfortunately we're losing the papasan chair/ottoman this weekend so I'll have to think of another idea for that. This place is going to be empty of furniture very shortly
- Meditation was good, although I couldn't take my mind off of much, the yawning really helps to break up thoughts
Wolf Project
- I think bringing in a video with wolf howling and short display of why we admire wolves if not love them. Certainly respect.
Site Studio
- Use the various methods of construction to understand projects, models are good for the big picture and to show design, sections are good for slope and the relationships/interactions between things, plans are good to show layout and context, perspectives give the emotion and feel of a place. I wish someone had told me this awhile ago, but maybe I needed to figure it out on my own
- So I need to use these methods of representation to help me think about my design work. If there's one thing I've figured out in the past few months, its that one iteration is not enough, neither is two. So this last project is my final chance for the year to prove to myself and my instructors that I can build a body of work with enough iterations that they hold their own.
History
- I like this class and I need to try harder to keep up the reading on the trains, its just that there is so much else to do.
Ad work
- I think both Erica and I feel somewhat taken advantage of here. We were given very little time to find and put together a project that wasn't necessarily to our picking. That being said, we are getting paid for it, so that is helpful. I just wish there was more time to customize it to our and JT's liking
Erica
- Erica is doing so much work now, I feel like I'm unable to contribute even close to as much. I don't even think I'm being lazy, I feel like I'm working nonstop, I do think she is a bit more efficient getting things done, and she's willing to accept less than perfect, which I am as well, unless it gets under my skin. I think I need to work more effectively when I have the time, and give my freetime over to helping our finances improve (i.e.) improving smugmug and getting those sites up and running.
Photography
- I think we have enough up there to start publishing to friends and family, and the rest we can rush up as we go along. We have a lot of great shots and I think some of them should bring in some good revenue. We have to raise the prices on the panoramas because I think some of our best shots are in there.
