Q: Arrange each piece of paperwork or evidence neatly in a folder and in the order that you wish to present it to the judge. It might be helpful to have a checklist of points that you wish to make. Specifically, the court address, hearing time, and court-room number.  The courthouse that you will have your case heard may not be the same courthouse where you were first arraigned.  Be sure you know where you are going and when you need to be there. Your case will not be the only one that the judge will be hearing that day; rather, he or she will be hearing several cases.  The order in which the cases are heard will be determined by the court.  Be prepared to spend an entire day at the courthouse. You may want to pack a lunch or bring snacks. You might have to pay for parking, so be prepared. The judge will then briefly review the details of your case before allowing the prosecutor to present the evidence against you. Do not interrupt. There may be bits of information that are new to you, or that perhaps you were unprepared to address. Specifically, pay attention to any discrepancies between the prosecutor's verbal argument and the hard-evidence being presented. If any of these conditions have not been met than you may have grounds to have your case dismissed by the judge.  A "request for production" was not received, or was not received in the proper amount of time.  Your hearing has been delayed by the court beyond a responsible expectation to a "fair and speedy trial." Your court clerk can will have more information regarding the number of days your state has determined as "fair and speedy." When it is your time to present your case, begin by providing a detailed account of the event from your own perspective. Include relevant information such as exact time, day, intersection, weather conditions, etc.  Point out any discrepancies between your account and the prosecutor's. Does the prosecutor's account match the hard evidence? After you have described the conditions of the event, and after you have addressed any discrepancies, you should go ahead and re-assert to the judge why it is you wish to have your case dismissed.  Were there any extenuating circumstances that you believe should be considered? Is the timing of the light flawed? Was it unsafe to stop? Only provide evidence that fully-supports your claim, or that directly challenges the case as it was presented by the prosecutor.  After you have presented your evidence, the judge will then move on to the closing statements. The prosecutor will go first. You do not necessarily need to respond to his or her closing statements as you have already made your case. Reiterate and summarize your argument or the reason you are seeking dismissal.  Be as clear and concise as possible. Speak as if answering the question, "why should your case be dismissed?" Be factual, not emotional. If all went well, then you may have just successfully defended yourself against a red-light camera violation.
A: Prepare all of your evidence. Check your paperwork for the details regarding your hearing. Appear in court on time. Identify yourself to the court when your case is ready to be heard. Listen to the prosecuting attorney present the case. Take notes. Ask for the case to be dismissed. Describe the event in your own words. Assert your claim. After you have made your case, present your evidence to the judge. Listen to the prosecuting attorney's closing argument. Provide your own closing statement. Wait for the verdict.

Q: If an idea captures your and won't let go you've got to pursue it. Great artists don't worry if it will sell, if it fits current artistic trends, or will take a long time to make. Great artists jump into their passions with open arms, trusting themselves to make it work. If you want a unique, refreshing artistic voice, then you need to trust your voice. It can be hard to embark on a project that feels weird, new, and experimental. But remember -- if you can't get passionate about the project, how can you expect your audience to feel passionately about it? There is a reason burgeoning painters spend time sculpting, and vice versa. All forms of art are intrinsically linked, and they share similar vocabulary and skills (color, shading, composition, etc.). By pushing yourself to approach art differently, you open yourself up to a wealth of new influences, techniques, and styles.  Push yourself to get out of your comfort zone -- this is often where you make the biggest breakthroughs and personal discoveries. This includes other forms of art, such as writing and music. Creative expression, whether with a paintbrush or a piccolo, is about getting your ideas out of your head and into the audiences. The medium you use to do that doesn't matter. Great artists are often great readers, using books and literature to push themselves to new ideas and philosophies. They are unashamed of their past, no matter what it is, and are confident using it for motivation and inspiration. Furthermore, great artists rarely say "no." They keep their minds open to everything, becoming a sponge of influences that come together to make something incredibly unique, and incredibly you. For most artists, art is a form of communication. You create art because you want to share it with other people. Otherwise, you could just leave the ideas in your head. Exactly how you want to show your work and to who is your choice. You could try to get your work shown in galleries and put up for sale. You could try getting published. You might be more comfortable putting your work online and possibly selling prints of it. Or maybe you would rather just frame some of your best work and hang it up in your home for your family and friends to enjoy.  Ask for honest critiques, and try to accept them with grace. You will never catch everything, and your audience's opinion will help find areas to improve in. Ask people what they think about the art, and what it might mean. Does it match up with your own thoughts and ideas? Did you accomplish your goals with the piece? Could you better communicate them your goals, or are you happy with ambiguity and differing opinions? Constructive criticism is designed to help you improve your artwork, either the piece you're working on now or your future works. A person giving constructive criticism will usually point out both the flaws and the strengths in your piece and make suggestions on how you could fix the flaws. While it isn't always fun to hear, criticism is something you're going to have to deal with as an artist. Learn to identify when a criticism of your work is valid and use that information to focus on correcting your mistakes.
A:
Trust your gut when choosing projects. Experiment in a wide variety of styles and disciplines. Draw influence from your entire life, not just your artistic pursuits. Show your work to others for thoughts and feedback. Accept constructive criticism.
