9/11/2007 - Realistic Expectations

Things are moving along dear subscribers. The E.I. staff has already gotten the initial set up of My site completed, leaving your WebMistress very pleased. It shouldn’t be long now before you start dropping in to join Me.

As the title of this entry states, today I have to resign Myself to accepting realistic expectations. This is proving to be somewhat of a challenge because your WebMistress is a perfectionist who is unable to indulge Her desire for it. I have come to the conclusion that if My gallery is successful enough, first on My priority list is to invest in a new computer.

The further I progress, the more frustrated I have become. I feel like I’m driving an old VW Bus through the streets of San Francisco. I keep running out of virtual memory, thus am having to compromise a great deal. Anything not essential has to go. So, the little prop details I’d like to include sit collecting dust in their folders unused. More frustrating is the lighting situation. I long for the day when I can set them up right… sigh… to have complete shadows in every piece and not have to settle with no more then three lights in a scene.

I am confident these little things won’t be all that obvious to you, or that it won’t be as big a deal to you as it is for Me if you do happen to notice how sparse the scene details are. But, it sure is driving me nuts. Providing the highest quality work I can is important to me.

So, dear subscriber bear with Me as My skills and equipment improve over the course of this venture. Know that your investment in Me will in turn be invested in you.

Now that I have vented… it’s back to work. Hopefully I’ll make it through the day without throwing this ole’ Dell through the window of My office.  ;-P
