It also puts a kibosh on the diorama thing I was doing. Long story, won’t go into it: basically if everything had gone according to plan, it would have been done on time, but dealing with this mess (and others) means that I won’t.
I don’t have the time to stress out about it. I could theoretically get it done on time, but I would rather finish tit at my own pace and for my own pleasure; if I rush it, it will not turn out the way I want it to anyway.
I’ll just have to refocus/redouble my efforts on the photo show instead. (Ha!)
I also plan on redoing some of my previous non winning entries, strictly as art/display pieces. Since I’ve invested a great deal of time and energy into them already, I might as well finish the job, because there’s too much of me in them to simply throw them out.
(This is also an issue with me and customizing: by the time I’m done with one I’m too darn invested in it to part with it.)
I wasn’t too keen on doing the video portion of it anyway: while I don’t have any anxieties about speaking in public or appearing on camera, I do not like “watching” myself. That part feels very, very wrong to me.
Which is also why I haven’t done anything on YouTube yet, though I suppose at some point it is going to be inevitable.
Anyway, here’s some compensation for my rantings today: here’s my Sample/Prototype Taima, and his photograph from the Just About Horses issue he was featured in back in 2010.

Oh, good! I'm not the only one who had to dash the diorama contest and focus on the thing you paid for (the photo show!) I don't like the video part either. Though, they did say that you don't need to be in the video. But, my problem is that I'm not tech savvy enough to properly make a video with words/credits - whatever. And I paper mached my diorama - I still don't think it's dry yet.
