Last week I was preoccupied by the Art Crawl. Most of my nights, I did not get enough sleep. This also meant that I didn’t have time to run. Today, I finally got back to my regiment and I’m still a little sluggish. Wasn’t completely bad. I only ran 3.02 miles. I didn’t have any major issues. My left ankle was a little sore, but it was okay.

For all those living in a cave, Grand Theft Auto IV is released today. Go get your copy. It’s getting incredible review by practically everyone. IGN gave it a 10 which is something they haven’t given out in years. This time around there will be multiplayer built into the game. Imagine sixteen players running amuck in an open sandbox environment. It’s going to be insane. Besides that, the graphic engines is immaculate. The details are just intense.

I will be running out to get it tomorrow, probably before I go into work. You can also get it at Amazon.

I have officially survived my first photography showing at the Saint Paul Art Crawl this weekend. It’s been quite an experience. Everything went great. I got a couple inquiries on purchasing some of my photos. That’s always good to hear. I also had an interior designer ask me if I can shoot water towers and make poster size prints. The best thing about being at a gallery showing of your work is meeting people who are so excited and interested in your work. I heard a bunch of people make comments like “that’s nice” or “this one looks cool.” Those are great comments and I it good to hear that, but what I really loved are the people who were so intrigued that they had to flag me down and ask me a bunch of question about my photography. That’s the main reason why I put my photos out into the public. As long as I get people psyched about my work, I’ll keep doing it.

There are a few things I would have changed knowing what I know now. First thing is that I need to prepare a lot earlier. I literally left everything to the last week. Second, I should of prepared more support material (i.e. business cards, postcards, more informative website, etc.). Last, I think I should of promoted it a little more.

Overall, it was a great experience despite all the sleep deprivation. I also walked around the Art Crawl myself on Sunday. Saw quite of bit of great work. I’m sometimes fearful that art is not as strong as it used to. I’m feeling more that it is okay and that is good.

I have quite a bit of photos that I took from the whole weekend. I will slowly add the ones I like to my Flickr. I have a Art Crawl 2008 set created already.
