Whew!

The viewbook. The project that seems to have eaten the last few months of my life. Light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, I have lost the ability to complete sentences and edit out cliches. It's been one hell of a project. I think my inner cat lost one of its lives on this project.

It has been a huge undertaking...
1000+ emails
70+ students interviewed
6+ days of photography
45 students featured (last time I counted)
50% longer
Tons richer

It really is an awesome piece.

When I think about what we started with last year and where we are now... I'm proud. And tired. And just a little bit sad.

Sad that it was such an effort, an effort to stay positive through the last few months difficulties (budgets, layoffs).

And above all [it's finally official and I can say it], sad that my immediate manager is leaving and this is the last thing he'll have a hand in.

Or maybe its just a post-project slump. This project has possessed my mind, that now I don't know what to think about. I know there are a ton of things I back-burnered. If only I could remember what they are.
