...And Now a Month of Nonproductivity

I honestly had big plans for this break. I planned on doing a bunch of tutorials from Lynda.com, catching up on reading (fiction and non-fiction alike) as well as some painting and drawing. In reality, I did NONE of it. Yes, I feel like an underachiever this winter break but I'm okay with that. It felt nice just to switch off my brain, go to the gym more, relaaaaaax, veg out and watch TV shows and films.

I did accomplish a few big things. I purchases a new (used) camera, which will be the camera I'll be shooting my documentaries on. I purchased a SONY PMW-EX1 and got a great deal on it from a friend! He really looked after his equipment and it has low shooting hours. He wanted a quick sale because he just purchased a RED Camera. I'm keen to play with that, too, but for my purposes this SONY will be just fine. I sold my old camera, the SONY HVR-Z1 to B&H Photo Video when I was in NYC this past weekend. It was a great camera, great picture but I realized I needed to move away from tape. Sometimes, I am reluctant to technological change when I need to embrace it.

I still have one more week until the second semester starts. In the meantime, I'm going to nurse this nasty flu I brought from NYC and I have Air Force drill this weekend. I'll try to get some artistic projects done in between. Have to stay motivated!
