Tonight I finally made my first camera club meeting for this season (which started in September). I was raring and ready to show off. I printed up some business cards with my photoblog’s URL, grabbed one of my photo calendars and my new Canon DSLR and head out.
I was fairly outgoing for a change talking to people there. I even blurted out a comment during a quiet moment at the Photoshop demo.
Aaauggg, I was about to tear my hair out listening to the speaker though. He was this old guy (ok, most everyone there is an old man) who teaches Photoshop at the community college who talks so.damn.slow! I thought we would never get done. That said I did learn a little bit new stuff, more than I thought as a 12 year user. I mean I know there is a lot of stuff I don’t know about Photoshop but I didn’t think this guy was going to touch any of it since the audience was full of old people that aren’t computer saavy.
Speaking about showing off. Even thought I will probably be painfully embarrassed, I am submitting one of my kaleidoscopes in the members art show gallery for the Lake County Artist Guild. It is the only reason I joined the guild is to try to sneak one of my scope prints in. I am sure it will look odd next to all the paintings. I am going to do it anyway.
