I am a grad student at GWU.  I'm trying to learn as much as possible
about computer graphics - programming and theory - this summer to 
ready myself for an intensive graphics course taught at GWU this
summer.  I'm basing my study on the book "Computer Graphics: Principles
and Practice", by Foley and VanDam.  This book is used for cs185 and
cs219 (I think), at GWU - for those of you that are familar with the
GWU curriculum.  Beyond the initial graphics concepts I'm very interested
in 3-D modeling and 3-D animation.  The course I am preparing for in
the fall is a Computer Animation course.  Anyway, back to this summer's
studies, I am using SRGP and SPHIGS which are simplified graphics 
packages discussed in detail in the Foley and VanDam book.  My problem
is that I'm new to graphics, fairly new to C and I'm trying to 
learn this at home on my 386 machine using Borland C++ which I just
got.  It would be great if I had some occasional help (say once or
twice a week), to get past obstacles.  The person I'm looking for
ideally should have:

1) Taken some of the graphics courses at GWU or somewhere else at the
   graduate level.
2) Be familar with SRGP and SPHIGS - or some other similar graphics
   package like SUNPhigs or GKS.
3) Be well versed in C.

I live in DC and am flexible on the times we could meet.  The time
period I'm looking at is over the next 2-3 months.  The rate is
negotiable.  If you are interested please give me (Tim) a call at
202-537-0266 (Home) or 202-342-2410 (Work).
