Current mood: slighty grumpy
Today wasn't actually such a bad day in 'retail hell' at one of my jobs... I actually got to spend some time chatting with people.
Therin lies the problem
Ever had someone put a thought/suggestion in your head? And then you spend the ENTIRE day thinking about this idea.... and you psycho-analyze it until it becomes something that it is most definitely NOT supposed to be. and you keep thinking so that you almost forget what the original thought was in the first place, and you aren't even sure what you are considering and whether or not to be mad/sad/hurt/frustrated or any other variety of complex emotions.
Aargh, so that was the case.
And, I couldn't stop thinking. Even though I had both reason and logic on my side. It was one of those situations where allowing myself to have emotions about this "suggestion" turned me into a feral cat. 
And it was just a smidge difficult - ok maybe lots difficult- to retract those claws and go back to normalcy. In which case, maybe i should just write down the analysis and it would disappear... *poof* 
that would be nice... what a great way to start the weekend. *sigh*

FYI: I use a Nikon D70 with a 18-70mm F4 zoom and a Sigma 80-200 F2.8 zoom. I forget what the power of the strobes is. I have two, plus umbrellas. I've also got some reflectors and and a few othe goodies. The main thing I need experience doing is fiuguring out the metering. I've read a bit on how to go about it... just haven't really played with the lights yet. My place is somewhat small which limits things a bit. Shouldn't be too bad.
Oh... I don't need others to put thoughts in my head to stew on. I do that just fine myself...
Hope you get outta that place and find a good one for the weekend...
Doesn't really matter... Playing with cameras and being creative is most important.
Just in case it isn't mentioned anywhere you've read yet... my education is in Industrial Design. I have a degree from College for Creative Studies and 17 years experince as an automotive designer. I think I have a good eye for color and composition.. I'm just slowly learning the technical aspects of taking pictures....
If you have ideas on themes .. start bouncing them off me. I'm a great brainstorm partner.
