not enough progress~

but a heapload of ambition, hehe

here's my bag of tricks/ i should be working on:

 

got everything i want to fit in this bag

and in no particular order:

thing on left is tripod, then gopro and camcorder, etc...  i am a novice in everything here, at best*

the red book in top right is a tai chi/ meditation book, i've referenced for ages, and have lots left to learn from.

and this is not even all of what i have to 'work on' sheese:

i'd like to finish breath of fire/ snes, so i can move on to this pier solar game.  so much to do, so little time.

anyway, i will try to start some warmup sessions with the contact juggling, and maybe have something of that to share sometime soon, eh?

[EDIT]
hehe, warmups, hehe.  I'll show ya, 'where im at' as i get back into the 'cj' thing, ok, hehe:

 (oh, and this is what the retro panasonic camcorder turns out like, fyi)

[EDIT 2]
(i deserved some warmup today  :P )

 

i think this has potential~

quite some time ago, i worked for panasonic for a brief period.  and they trained me on a bunch of their consumer devices.  kinda like with canon, i've liked both brands for their picture/video devices.  and i've added a retro video device now, from panasonic.  it takes sd cards, so i think its newer than the ones i worked with back in those days, but i'm old, so its still retro  :P

its does 720p and its definitely retro*

 i'm still pondering things to do with this, but i'm having fun with the possibilities.  should work with the tripod i have, that i've used with the gopro.  and yes the gopro is more hq (hero 4) doing 1080p video, but this panasonic is much cooler.

anyway, this thing is Panasonic HC-V10 (black), for the record.

and that is my post

[EDIT]
i guess i can share some frame of reference of video device/ setups i've used before.  the following was with an old gopro (hero 4) and a pretty economical tripod that works perfectly imo. (and which i think this aforementioned panasonic will work with too, tho i haven't tried yet*).  anyway:

 

leaning into a 'graphite' mood~

 

getting my 5.6mm lead setup organized/setup.  i plan to move forward with this brass kaweco lead holder.  i am excited, tho tempering my expectations

graphite and inks are both kewl, but its nice to flip-flop sometimes  :)

working on the offline things

ya know...

over the years...

i've done some of my deepest work in the tai chi/ chi studies while confined in psych wards...  felt free to walk around all day, and practice movement dance, and do things like coloring with oil pastels, outside of the therapies and structured activities...  sometimes i never wanted to leave.

i haven't been deemed psychologically unfit enough to go back to a psych ward in a long time.  but i am inspired 'again' to see if i can structure my routines a bit more like those i had while back in those times.

this would be easier if i could simplify things a bit.  this would be hard.  but i may start considering another round ebaying to sell off some more of my crap.

just desiring a deeper dive in the arts, in the disciplined nature of 'practice.'

we'll see if i can nurture this into some fruition.

anyway, thanks for stopping by, folks.  (sorry about the 'unfriendly' post last night...  not in such good spirits)
