Butterflies on a String
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
When I was taking my photography class, my teacher always warned about cliché photos. For some reason, she was quite the party pooper. She hated rainbows, and butterflies and all the classic clichés. Anyhow, for one of my finals I sent her a photo of a couple of clichés. I ended up getting a decent grade on my photos. Among the things we learned was about the camera formats. Jpeg is the smallest file format. It does not matter much if your photo is on the computer.
If you wish to print a photo, this is where png comes in. The png has to include all the adjustment layers of the photo to work right. When the photo gets printed, it gets done in different layers. I takes a couple of minutes depending on the layers. There were other formats required for the printer, but I don't remember. If the photo comes too blue, one needs to mess with the settings of the printer. FIU originally had better printers, but some douches came and stole them.
The teacher thought that a student had accidently left the door open. This had allowed the thieves to steal them. As for me, I think that one of the teachers stole them. One of the most common woes of FIU teacher is the poor salary. They get all those grants for the school, but they do not see a single sent. Whatever money that enters the university gets spent in silly construction projects. Salary wise, it is the teachers fault, if all of them decided not to work for pittance, then all would benefit.
The students could also go on strike, they could not get any paid classes till the class prices drop. If they get replaced by outsides, they can keep the new students from entering. If you do not affect the pockets of the big guys, one will never see any change. Alas, both groups lack focus. They are being eaten by the leg, and they are more concerned with mother nature and getting it legalized. This is part of the reason why I do not bother to make any friends in College. As far as I am concerned, they are all fools.
What does this have to do with butterflies, well nothing. It just serves as a point of contemplation to get started with my rants. People usually need something or other to go on inspirational rants. Those drawing blanks prefer to work with music. I have never known a person to listen to music, and actually get something done. I hate listening to music when I write. Pure, and unadulterated silence is what works for me. It helps me listen to my thoughts, to the voices in my head. You put that in a book and there you have a bestseller.
