Creative Workflow: The Elements

In one of my photo classes called Creative Workflow we are working on a project called The Elements. We can interpret the elements however we please and photograph what we see fit. Anyways one morning when I was shooting for this class I took this photo

Can you guess what this photo is of?

Persephone (my portable hard drive)

I currently have 3 external hard drives, Selena, Minerva and Persephone. Selena and Minerva are desktop hard drives, not meant to be dragged around, but I have been using Selena as a portable for almost 4 years now. I am really worried that one day she will stop working, so I bought a portable hard drive last semester, but had issues with it always trying to eject itself while I was using it. I had planned on returning, but I think I may have just fixed it.

Here is a screenshot of my laptop, Persephone is the red gummy bear with it's skeleton showing (icon courtesy of Jason Freeny). She has been plugged in for more than 30 minutes with no files open and hasn't ejected. YAY

Hopefully she doesn't eject now that I post this.

Lightroom

Currently in my Creative Workflow class and we are discussing printing from Lightroom. Before I had photoshop I was sooooooo excited you could print from Lightroom, but once I had photoshop I realized how much better it was printing through there instead of Lightroom. According to my teacher though Lightroom 4 allows you to soft proof and eventually Lightroom will do it all and there will be no need to have Photoshop, unless you are doing crazy editing to your photo or digital design stuff.

I personally love Lightroom. I don't like editing my photos because I think it makes it less real, but Lightroom allows you to perfect your photos.

Here is a look at the print module in Lightroom. (YAY Star Wars clock)
