Low res
Anyone else feel the resolution of the photos is too low? A width of 480 is kind of totalitarian, imo. I think I'm gonna switch up the layout soon, to something without the ridiculously large sidebar.
So studying in earnest for step 2 starts tomorrow. I'm kind of easing my way into it. 30 pages yesterday, 50 pages today (hopefully, I still have 15 to go), and 60 pages a day with 50-100 questions on top starting tomorrow. Eek. It's been a long time since I've put in 8-12 hours a day in front of a book. I don't particularly want to push back the date of my exam though... Meanwhile, I'll try to write some sort of a personal statement, ask for letters of recommendation, fill out my residency application and figure out how to finalize my schedule this year, etc. And here I thought I was done with this applying stuff 3 years ago.
So I've been jumping from hobby to hobby recently, and I've picked back up photography recently. This blog is probably to blame. Let's see how long I can keep it up, and how far I can take myself creatively. I've never been a really creative person, so it's something that'll take some time to develop, I suspect. Photo Friday (see my last post) is my latest idea on how to challenge myself to stay interested. They have a new theme each Friday, and everyone gets to submit one picture a week.
Anyways, back to work.
Life and Death
Mark, in the moment of critical decision... or something like that. It was a pretty high-pressure operation, so noone noticed me slip into the OR to take this.
This has been one of my favorite photos, so I'll give photofriday a shot. The theme this week... somber. Gotta challenge myself, right?
Note cards
Studying at the local coffee shop, Amit's notecards. Lamp was kinda cool.
