I just got back from the photo lab on campus with three prints of the D5 key on the piano (the assignment was to photograph something that is commonplace and I figured that a lot of people take D5 for granted, especially during battleship) so I just wanted to share them with you guys before I have to turn them in and my teacher tears them all to shreds: "Ooh, you should have spot toned a bit more here and this black area could have used a bit more dodging. Tsk tsk." Anyway, here they are:

Those are not that bad.
Mine are quite primitive still. My teacher is not much help though,
I SWEAR he must have invented the camera! He really is that old.
Anyway, I only wish I could photograph as well as you.

You mean to say you have a photography class at your High School? You lucky booger! I, being from Old Town (yes, that's its real name), never had the opportunity to practice the very visual art - film - in which I am interested in in a scholastic setting. I'm here at college, trying to play "catch up" with everyone else. So, Jaman (Christopher), make sure you take advantage of EVERY SINGLE opportunity your school has to offer! Tell me, are you interested in photography as a career? Or is it just a hobby?

Yup.
my High-School has photography.
I am in it because my schedule is so highly specialised, that they could not find a 3rd period class for me, so they put me in photography. I actualy had hoped to be placed in AP US History, but she (my counsler) did not like that idea.

Well, here is my schedule:

1. Teacher's-aide 2. Spanish 3
3. Photography 4. Government/Economics
5. Zoology/Botany 6. Cooking
7. French 4 8. AP Literature and Compostion. (English)

Most of my classes only occur once every 2 days, so it is hard to put me in classes. She thought that AP US History was too hard for me, so she put me in photography. I am failing that class. I either have As or Bs in every other class.

So, you're on the block schedule, eh? We had that at my old High School. I liked how it was set up. By the way, I don't see any TRIG or CALC or INTRO TO LONG DIVISION in that list! What's up?Surprised Wink

Anyway, I didn't know squat about photography before college so I'm more or less in the same boat as you, Chris. So, if you have any questions about twin-lense reflex cameras, for example, I would definitely be the person you would not want to talk to! (Ha!) I'm almost lost over here, trying to figure out aperture settings and shutter speeds, not to mention developing! So, if you wanna talk photography with someone who doesn't know what he's talking about, I'm the guy for the job! Catch you later.

Yah man! We're on the block-schedule in Amador County.
Trust me, I would NOT do well in advanced math! I failed first-year Algebra!
Well, I'm not good at photography. So I won't ask you for help.
I do love French and Spanish though.
Moi? J'aime bien les langues!

I bet I've got you beat in the conservative background department.

So, that pronounciation - is it akin to, say, a swedish version of that phrase or a jamaican version of that phrase? I can imagine both pronounciations.

By the way, what kind of photo assignments have you had thus far?

The German bit was not that bad.
I have more problems here in Amador County, one of the most racist in California. But it is really not that bad here. I have a lot of really good friends who have my back. I am really really really lucky.
Anyway, "Jaman" uses the Swedish pronounciation. I got it off of a Danish rap song.
So far I've had Car pics, candid camera, group pic, picture of another picture, usw. To-day I developed 1 pic, and wrote some poems.

Were you BORN in California or did you MOVE there?

Danish rap, eh? I'd have to hear that.

Holy schmoly! You've had many more assignments than I've had! So far, the only things WE'VE done is "try out the camera's functions" and "Take a role of visually appealing pictures of a commonplace object," which resulted in the piano key thingamabob.

Interesting andecdote: Last year, in High School, a foreign exchange student from Germany spent the year with a close friend of mine while he attended my school. His name was Jose. And that's with the "Spanish" pronounciation. Is that weird? Anyway, he was a decent back-stroker and joined us on the swim-team that year.

I'm sorry; that wasn't quite as interesting as I initially thought it was. Oh well. Try posting some of your pictures. The assignments sound intriguing.

I moved to California, though I am heavily Californianised.
This year we have 2 foreign-exchange students. One girl from Germany, and one boy from Quebec. The Quebecer will join the Ski-team, and the German joined Girls-basketball.
I'll try to scan one of my picutres in. She's one of my friends.
I only turned in 3 assignments, out of 7. So I'm more or less going to fail that class. I'm really not that good of a student.
You're interesting enough, no worries.

Extra note: I'm really happy to be here. I'm really well off when I'm around my own people, but if I'm not, I get really uncomfortable with myself.
I'm not really that expressive of a person, so I may not give off many hints.
