Well. What to say...
Life kinda sucks right now. I just did some figuring and I have about 300 hours worth of post production to do. Some of it from last year. Having a computer go down and not being able to get it to work for 2 months kinda dicked me. Not to mention almost all of my finished work from 2004 is either temporarily or permanently lost. By my calculations, I'll have to work a minimum of 6 hours a day every day for 50 days just to catch up with the 2 month backlog and all of the shoots I've done lately.
Simple answer, right? No more shoots until I'm caught up.
Nice plan if I could make it work.
One girl wants me to do a girl/girl shoot with her for her boyfriend. She's moving to SF in March so she wants to shoot sometime soon. She's a friend of MY girlfriend (Angeluca) so I kinda have to do it. Another girl wants to shoot this month, too. We've been trying to find time for a shoot for months now and we don't know when her schedule will free up again. Shooting with her is important in that she has an assload of contacts that would really help me out if I could get in their good graces. Other models are impatient to do SG sets. Others want to do shoots for their portfolios. It's hard to say no because I know there will be months when no one will be available to shoot. Dry spells are common in this game.
I mean, get real... A hot girl wants to get naked and is asking you to take provocative pictures of her while she does so. Honestly, is it going to be easy for you to say no?
There are also some big opportunities to show coming up that I have absolutely nothing prepared for. Like I said; all of my finished work is gone.
Gone.
I still can't quite get used to that. I can't allow myself to believe that. A years work. Gone.
All of the blood, sweat, tears and frustration that went into a years worth of shots. Just thinking about that makes me feel so...empty. And for my trouble I am left with a 300 hour backlog and models breathing down my neck demanding pictures.
And rightfully so. It's not their fault my computer freaked out and died. We had an agreement and I owe them pictures. It's just frustrating because I have so much to do and I really don't want to rush and do a sloppy job. That wouldn't be fair to the model and wouldn't do much for my already tarnished reputation. Can you hear it? "I waited 2 months for pictures from him and they all SUCK!" Yeah. That's what I need.
