Teacher’s Day

I am a couple of hours away from being up for 24 straight. I wonder how long it will take me to get back to a normal sleeping schedule when we move back home.
Today was Teacher’s Day. I didn’t get any apples, but I did get a few roses and a few bouquets of flowers. I also got some hand cream and was given a gift for JJ as well.
I spent most of the night going through Flickr looking at some great photos, trying to learn anything and everything I can.
It looks like I will probably take the bus into Gangnam tomorrow. I hope that the weather cooperates at least for a little while. I think I am just going to take my camera and a 50mm and see what I can stumble across.
I am trying to work on my CS 4 processing. I took this photo a few months ago.
Weekend

It looks like Saturday is going to be rainy, so I will wait and decide where I will go when I wake up. I am thinking about going out even if it is raining on Saturday and trying to get some photos in Gangnam in the rain. I also need to head over to Youngsan and start pricing a computer. I think I am going to get someone to make me one with the parts I choose, but I am not sure.
JJ sent some money to my account in America last night or at least we hope she did. We got a rate of 1240, but today’s rate is sitting at about about 1265. This is not that much of a difference on the amount that I sent, but every little bit helps. We haven’t gotten an email saying the transfer went through and it hasn’t cleared my account either. I will have to check back tomorrow.
I am also waiting on a couple of books. I ordered three from Amazon over the last week and am just waiting to get them sent from home.
I can’t wait to read them and wish that I could have them shipped quicker.
I ordered:
1. The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby
2. Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson
3. The Adobe Photoshop CS4Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby
The above picture was taken in front of the AT Center during the cosplay convention. I really wish I could have shot this at 2.8f. It would have been a much cooler picture if the background was blurred out more.

I took this shot a couple of months ago when I was in Seoul.
I am still working on a few different projects that are work related and very few projects that I really want to be doing. I can’t explain in words how happy I am that I have about 5 months left on my contract. I am getting to that point where I am feeling pretty burned out everyday that I walk into my school. I am fighting to stay motivated and that really is not fair to my students. I know that it is a just a slump but still am happy that we will be starting over in just a few months. I do have a new class starting next week that I am excited about. I am still working on trying to get everything ready for it. I also have been enjoying my adult class. We still go out for drinks about once a month and it is refreshing to get out and not think about work.
I am trying to decide where to go this weekend for photos. I really have no idea. Bridges,temples, markets…….choices…..
Cosplay Part II

I spent most of the evening editing and uploading photos. I love the colors in the above photo. I sure wish that I wouldn’t have cut off the top of the flowers!!! I still have a few more photos to process and I am trying out some new CS4 tutorials because I don’t have much of a clue as to what I am doing with sharpening, levels and curves. I recently ordered a book on CS4 and I look forward to receiving it.
