Just an update.

I haven't performed any major feats here. I did, however, get everything I need on the computer for my portfolio. Really. My Dad and I set up the tripod and easel and got a shot of every elevation on every project board. Now I have the images in the computer that I need to work with to get my awesome portfolio finished.

Now all I have to do is... everything else. Don't judge me. I'm working on it...

I have officially opened the 'Photoshop for Dummies' book. It's scary. And large... The first sentence says something about, "The depth and breadth of the program is unheralded"... great. At least I will mostly just be setting portfolio page layouts and not mastering the art of illusion like my Dad does.
I would be lying if I said that I was looking forward to this part. In reality, I should be... but who lives in reality anymore? I would much rather curl up on the sofa with an episode of True Blood than teach myself how to use Photoshop.

This is when I get this odd appreciation and respectful awe of my boss... I know she doesn't go home and plop herself in front of the television at night. She will take her work home with her if she needs to. I've seen her do it. She just recently took her work on vacation with her. She works with a restaurant/resort in Tahoe, where her family stays a lot... and I kid you not: she came back with a list of crap they need and catalog pages marked.
It can't be easy to own and run your own business. There is a reason she has repeat clients, and a reason she is serious about work... it's who she is. It's her baby. I get that.

So if I want that, then I have to work for it.... so excuse the short blog, but I have some reading to do.
