but have to keep going on.
I shot with 4 people this week, interviewed for one wedding, worked a regular week at my career (up until today when I took off), filed my taxes, spent hard-earned business money on equipment and delivered tons of images to people. WOW!!!
I got to shoot with some incredibly lovely young women but they all need their images to mail out immediately for a contest they’re participating in. You’ve seen some of the images if you read the previous entry. Here’s a shot of the young lady with whom I worked tonight. We started shooting around 8:30 and finished at 12:00! It was worth it (I think) and I look forward to working with her again. She had such a great personality and she (like the other girls before her) was a blast to work with.

I don’t support the “do what you want” theory in the extreme. I think you should live a principle-based life but that you should make some personally fulfilling choices in an organic way (where things don’t always fit together with 90 degree angles and straight lines). You don’t always have to have the answers and no one else needs agree with you.

Work is going well lately. I found a solution that saved weeks of annoying messages popping up for end users. The last time the corporation upgraded users’ software users had to make extra clicks every time they opened Word or Excel and those are two apps my business clients use everyday. I saved them that PITA. Good deal. To top that off, the application that I inherited from two other developers that has dragged on for months and months is finally going into Production in the next couple of weeks. Thank God!

I was talking to my wife at work when she got another call; we hung up; she called me back 10 minutes later just to say . . . I got busy and have to go. Hmmmmm. OK.
Since I’ve been doing a few paid jobs I’ve been waking up earlier and working more in the mornings but I still get to work late. I’ve taken to getting up at 5:00 in the mornings but by the time I get ready, get my daughter ready, deliver her to her grandmother’s and edit wedding photos or print family portraits I’m still hauling butt to make work by 9:00. I’ve even been editing at night.

So I had the Monday night session to work on this weekend and I had already scheduled a photoshoot (see photo following). Then I got a phone call late Friday afternoon asking if I could and would shoot a wedding for a family. The groom-to-be just got his papers and he was shipping back over to Iraq for a 2nd tour. He had a couple of months but apparently he was going to be traveling and taking care of business so Saturday was to be the big day. I picked up a Quantum 2×2 battery pack and rolled to the church building. We shot from about 1:30-5:00. The family was wonderful. I have their proofs on schedule to be reviewed Friday.
Today was more relaxed since it was just a TFP agreement between the model and me. We didn’t have to shoot any predetermined amount or time limit. We tried out several things and I got to really play with the lighting some. Here’s one photo from that set.
