My camera works! Robyn suggested that my memory card might have been defunct and it was! I&#8217;m so glad I don&#8217;t have to buy a new camera. I&#8217;ve grown attached to this one. I own a Canon PowerShot A95. I bought it from Aimee Steinberger through livejournal and totally sniped it from others when she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, it&#8217;s been one of those weeks.
I&#8217;m &#8220;finished&#8221; with The Swarm, but unfortunately my camera is out of batteries. It&#8217;s sad because I just bought some expensive lithium advance types and barely touched my camera. Instead, one of my roomies barrowed the camera, drained the batteries,  and I&#8217;m too awkward to suggest replacing them out [...]]]></description>

Brenna requested that I get some detail shots of the linocut, so I went and took some close ups today and straighter shot of the whole print.

I printed for most of my afternoon. This is was how I spent all of week 9 on, carving and prepping my print. I made a proof print for my mentor meeting on Saturday.
