So busy

Busy is good, but I’m trying not to stress. I’m off to Chicago tomorrow for a shoot, then onto Missouri the next week. Fun fun.

Overload

MindFock

I am so much better when I don’t edit my photos for at least a week. So often I miss amazing images because I have either something in my head at the time I clicked the shutter, or I was so openminded going into the shoot that I didn’t know what to expect.It’s so hard to explain: I know when clicking the shutter what the image will look like, but it’s like this photo mindf*ck in my head as to what I am expecting the image to convey. I wonder if other photogs feel that, or am I just weird?

Ok I’m done editing for the night, I’m getting emotionally attached to my images. I did at least catch up on all the DVDs I haven’t mailed to my models. Sorry my lovely ladies. The DVDs ended up in the tax stack, and I’m deathly afraid of taxes this year, but they have to be done… I do not like paying so much when I survive on so little….

One more cup of coffee and then I’m turning Zepplin off and shutting down The Beast [my PC]. I need to get out, talk to some people or something!

March Madness

I’m exhausted but felt the need to write a post since I have not posted this last week. I am still recovering from the photo trip to Omaha without a day off, but things are picking up and working hard makes me happy.

Not a cold, not now!

Darnit- Woke up with a tickle in my throat this morning. Why couldn’t I have been sick weeks ago when I was slow? No, because I have been out more shooting and shaking hands and the other day I was near kids and that’s how the germs spread. I need vitamins and oranges and some preventative care!

On a lighter note I’ve been thinking of spring and fruit and travel so I shot this photo. Entered it into the http://www.saveur.com/ cover contest. It was worth a shot.

Gearing up for the season

No more dilly-dallying as my mom would say! I think my legwork and due diligence this winter might be paying off. OR everyone is getting excited for spring and I am seeing more opportunities. Either way, I’ve been loving that busy feeling again, I do not like to sit around during the winter!

Between the normal commercial work I talked a friend into coming over for a shoot in my basement. We had great fun doing makeup and making slime. I got one great intentional shot and then a lovely mistake. Love it when that happens! I learn from all those lovely mistakes and make them intentional the next time.

Another Week Begins

Another week begins and I am excited to see a bit of green grass peaking from under the giant piles of snow out back. So while we are still covered in the beautiful cold white stuff, I am trying to take advantage and have a little fun with it!
