It's been a long time since I posted something worthwhile, and it's not because I've left or because I stopped taking pictures. Here's why:

1) Bookkeeping
Most of what I shoot these days is B&W film. If I want to post it, I have to scan it, and each scan can take up to 15 minutes per image (if you include creating the presets for the scanner). I then have to process the raw images into something that will look nice on a computer screen, so scanning can be an all day process. That isn't too bad, except time has not been on my side as of late.

2) School
Engineering schools aren't known for being easygoing. Last year was especially bad because I had 20 page reports due every week. Hopefully things will become less intense as time moves along.

3) The dA Political Forum
I don't fully understand the appeal of the dAPF, but it has one.

4) Minecraft
Need I say more?

5) My Job
I was working a student job at Dryden Flight Research Center for a while. While I was there, I didn't have my good cameras, and the images I did shoot weren't really up to my standards (on top of that, my laptop died yet again). Now that I've finished my first rotation in this job, I should have more time to focus on photography with the equipment I'm most familiar with.

6) USLI
I should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm the project lead for the University of Washington's USLI team this year. That means I get to write all the paperwork no one wants to deal with. Needless to say, it's a really cool competition and an excuse to fly huge sounding rockets.
