At a stand still

I have a great deal of visual ideas mapped out and thought through for my cards. I have about 7 to 9 concept ideas for visuals on the cards. At this point I can start moving ahead and get photographs taken for my my next design layouts. I need a camera to take my photographs for my design ideas as I only have a small cannon that does not take high resolution photographs. 

I went to the campus supply building and they are not sure if I can check out supplies or not because I am in the MA Design for Communications program. The person at the supply department told me it depended upon my program putting money into their department. I was also told that the head of their department was not there and they could not give me any supplies without his permission, but did give me his email address so I could contact him. 

I sent him an email and am hoping I hear back from him before he leaves. If not I will have to go with plan B and rent a camera. 

In the mean time I am designing my graphics needed thus far, gathering my text for the cards and organising my sketchbooks.
