This page will come to include some of the funnier mistakes, bad photos, etc. that resulted from my projects.

Mistakes:

1. Hmm, here's a lesson for everyone. When taking pictures that you'd like to get developed within a week, make sure not to use professional grade film that they have to send away. Oops. Guess who did that?

2. When painting, make sure that if you are using oil based paint to get paint thinner so that when you go to clean the brushes you don't coat your hands in black paint. Hmm, guess who did this one too? Guess who had to drive to Wal-mart at 3 am to get paint thinner because she couldn't stand her hands being sticky and smelly anymore.

3. When breaking mirrors, buy sheets, not bathroom mirrors. They have sticky adhesive to the back that you have to pull off piece by piece.

4. Back to the mirrors, use gloves, as not to get 10,000 shards stuck in your fingers. Just a suggestion.

5. When taking photos of animals, if an animal refuses to pose, such as a peacock, who has feathers that you REALLY want to photograph, don't chase them for 45 minutes in the cold while small children in Girl Scouts uniforms laugh and point at you. Notice that the bird is running in a circle so that you can NEVER be behind it to get a photo of the tail earlier, as to avoid embarassment and a waste of time. Again, just a suggestion.

6. When hoping to take photos in a museum, make sure to call first before driving for 3 hours to find that they don't allow cameras. As always, just a suggestion.

Bad Photos:

These were some of the MANY photos that weren't chosen.  Most of them were for poor composition.
