hello professOR!
so, this weekend was the show in lafayette. i sold four pieces! i feel a bit used, though. honestly, i priced my work even lower than the cost of materials. but, since i anticipated the selling fiasco, i a. made an agreement with each buyer that i have the rights to photgraph it at any time b. rented a nikon d40 from our local camera shop and took some photos for my grad portfolio:
so, there is the reworked 4×4, but much better represented. i really want this camera. 
wordpress just kindof elongated the image , so if you want to see the true image click.here
thanks, you are the best.
since i had such a fancy camera for two days, i decided to do some stop animation. i cannot have a video plugin here at wordpress, according to them “for security reasons”. so, here is a link to the 30 second video i did on sunday. here is a link to
the video
i love doing this stuff and i think i will borrow cameras to do a lot more
i don’t think that it is the best i can do, so i really want to revisit it. jim must have liked it as well… he linked it herehereandhere
