Proof...
...that the militant, control freak-for-no-reason minister at the last wedding I shot with El was a Nazi:
Why Has it Been so Long??
I can't really say why. Perhaps it's the quarter system at RIT that has me running like crazy and when I get home at night all I want to do it veg out.
But, for better or worse, here is another post.
There is so much I could write about because there is so much going on at the moment: Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, his health care bill is having issues with being passed, school is kicking my ass and I am going to visit Ivana in December for xmas.
Oh, there is more, but that is enough.
I guess I could start with Ivana's visit to the USA. It was a long day...a very long day. I decided to drive to NYC to pick her up from JFK because she said that it would be "a good chance to see the landscape after I land". (I'll never drive to NYC and back in one day again.) (come to think of it, I will never drive to NYC again.)
I warned her that when she landed, she'd only be half way to home time-wise.
Well, I don't think she really understood.
I don't think Europeans understand the size of our country. It's much bigger than they really think.
She knows now.
But all in all, it was a great trip. We went to Pittsburgh to visit my friend Yona, then to Lancaster to taunt the Amish, then to Washington DC to visit my friend Nick.
Jake and I at the "Exorcist Steps"
I have to say that after not seeing her for about 4 months and then practically living with her, we really got along well, it was nice. No territorial arguments, no real spats to speak of.
What did she really like? Frappucino and cheesecake.

The Aftermath
Yes, I am alive.
I survived 10 weeks of "transfer student hell" only to go on a 4 week road trip with the girlfriend.
Pictures will come.
Stories will come.
But not today.

Life is Funny Sometimes
Sometimes, when you have a photo project, you walk through a city and find something funny:

"Call me Bill."
That was the first thing the head of the photo department said when we sat and talked oh so long ago. I liked it. Coming from Germany where everything was "Herr so-and-so" or "Frau what's-her-name", I liked the informality.
I loved it, actually.
And this informality trickles down into the whole department.
I call my professor Angela. (that is her name after all)
But...informality has its drawbacks too.
It seems most of the time that my prof has no idea what she is doing and kinda fakes her way through the day.
Case and point: we spent 45 minutes today watching her set up her laptop to show us a slide show. Right after telling me that in certain situations during a wedding shoot, you need to improvise and be flexible.
Poetic justice anyone??
And how do I know she is faking her way through the day?
Because I did it too. I spent many 'o days not planning what to teach and walking into a room of strangers and churning out a lesson...not really giving a clear enough answer but giving one good enough for the moment.
But her answers are not good enough for the moment even.
I can't say that I am learning nothing. I can't even say that I am not being challenged. But it's not enough at the moment. I am bombarded with book work when I want to get into studios and outside to shoot.
But to be optimistic I have only 2 weeks left with her.
