Final Stretch.

This is it. 

The final stretch. 

Semester one is so close to being over. 

I have three days of school, one paper, and four exams between me and winter break. 

I.cannot.wait.

Today I took my first final. 

and in order to celebrate - Kate, Cynthia and I were supposed to make a music video. 

but. 

we didn't. 

So instead Kate and I made the beginning of a stop motion. 

I would post it - but I can't put all the photos into a movie - until I go home probably 

because I don't have the equipment.

But on the plus side, I have another 30 day photoshop trial. 

I wanted to edit a few photos like the photos on this blog.

I know - Marry Potter - Harry Potter - Max Poirier - we all have so much in common.

They're just a bunch of cool  photos from various photographers - but I really like them.

However, I messed up my first three. 

I made them too grainy. 

I'm recently obsessed with making photos grainy. 

Just like I was obsessed with light bulbs, making pin light photos, the half-tone filter, etc. 

Only, I've just realized that every photo I've made grainy - I've made wrong. 

They're all too grainy. 

and I want to delete them. 

I have this thing where I have to save my photoshop over the original - so - I kind of can't delete them - because then I'd be deleting the memory. 

I also have this thing where I want to delete all my mistakes. 

So you can see why this is a problem. 

Anyways, I figured out how to make them not so grainy - you have to apply the filter to one of the color masks, not to the photo itself.

It makes sense to me.
