Just a mention that I have the most wonderful idea for a set. Of course I am keeping it close to the vest so to speak...I know it's very original and I have total access to the perfect props and locations shouldn't be an issue either...teehee...I think I smell a shoot coming on... biggrin

<ooohh , interested!

Well it looks like I'll be headed off to Jacksonville for the weekend. My wife's grandmother passed away yesterday and the funeral and all that jazz is this weekend. Let me say right up front how much I just love her family... Anyone have some broken glass I could crawl over to get ready for the weekend with all of those people? whatever

I dunno what...

Um, sorry for your loss? Not quite sure if that's the appropriate response, loss of the weekend or loss of your grandmother-in-law, you decide which.
Thank you so much for introducing me to this site! I absolutely love it. I just got into looking at all of the groups, now I'll never get any work done!
...and thank you for being so sweet to me.

Going to the Elvis Festival in Tampa this coming Sunday. Should be a hoot as several of us toy camera fiends are planning a meetup to shoot there. I do believe the internationally acclaimed Flying Elvis troupe will be dropping in as well. Hope any of you Elvis fans come out and enjoy it with us.
violentlydave:
haha crap, hope ya had fun. thanks for the birthday wishes, was spent having a few drinks w/ friends + grilling out (and luckily I dragged 'em all to my house, so I didn't need to drive home.. thus over indulged ! woop!)..

thanks for th einvite too, but too late for me obviously wink plus I'm trying to be very very lame for the next few months outta paranoia on the house. Spent this weekend cleaning through crap + throwing stuff out (I can PARTAY) as it was the last one before I close (this coming friday, woop)... because I need to do a few things in the house before I move.

Trust me, after about mid this year I'll be harassing YOU for shooting opportunities.. especially if any are at the Casino as I'll be living like 5 minutes from there once I move!!!


edit to say: oh yeah, post some elvis results! toy cameras be damned, admit it.. you took the 10d... wink.. so glad I did get the 300d before I did this house thing, since I don't see buying anything camera wise for a couple years now..

Someone gave me a line on possible studio space that I could make my own. Now let's see how affordable they can make it... whatever

Schweeeet. biggrin

Life has thrown a few curve-balls my way as of late... as if my noisy brain wasn't already full of stuff, right. Soooo, I'm trying to focus on straightening out some pressing 'issues'... actually, it's more like I'm working on shielding myself from other people's issues. Ergo, it might be a bit before I will be able to catch up with you. Unfortunately. frown

I am realizing how terribly bad I am at updating this journal...it's not like I have been overly busy living life as opposed to writing about the living of said life...I do however have a new assistant at work, which means I totally have my weekends free now. Yippee!!! smile

All I need to do to be official as an SG photogapher is submit a set...

Thanks for the well wishes... I'll take positive comments/thoughts anytime. smile

Hm, about the location for this weekend... not sure if I can come up with anything good on such short notice. However, I will still see if I can work some magic. wink

Spent time this morning/early afternoon with my stylist friend (before I picked up the crush at the airport). I think we may all have to get together sometime. She's been working more in an 'artistic director' capacity, and is not very happy with one or two of the photographers that she has had to use in the past year. I mentioned knowing of a very skilled & passionate photographer/artist and I swear she just about glowed. biggrin

Hope everyone had a great new year's celebration. We enjoyed a nice semi-quiet night at a bonfire thrown by my little brother's inlaws. His wife's family are a bunch of crazy Corsicans and we go over there every year for the bonfire. As usual there was much homemade sangria, which was yummy, and lots of good food. Too many little kids for my taste this...

I know it's a sign that I am not where I should be , doing what I am supposed to be doing. But does anyone else ever stop in the middle of a task at work and wonder "what the fuck am I doing here?!" ? Just curious...

and no, this does not apply to my photo work...this only happens when I am at my...

Used to get that feeling all the time,bro. In fact, used to say those exact words ('what the fuck am I doing here') every single day (at least once)... so I walked away from my high-paying gov't job. And although I've had the opportunity to go back - and for other, similar positions with much higher pay - I've resisted based on the simple fact that I hate feeling that way every day and no amount of money is worth it.


Visualize your dream(s)...

Happens to me all day long at my job. I need a sugar daddy or to win the lotto or something.... wink Not that I'd stop working if I had money but I would be doing something I love rather than doing what I have to do to get the bills paid.

I hope everyone had beautiful and very merry christmas.

I had a good one, even though I caught the xmas spirit late. we had a nice quiet time and even had a friend over for the weekend who didn't have anyone to spend it with. she was so shocked when we had presents under the tree for her. i told her we adopted her for...

That was so wonderful of you to adopt your friend for x-mas!

Sitting here pondering whether or not I want to do my yearly ritual of going to the mall on Xmas Eve. See, every year I usually go with a friend or two (if I can talk them into it) to the Ruby Tuesdays, bennigans, TGI Fridays....and have a few rounds before doing any last minute gift buying. This year I am pretty much done but...

Well as soon as my contracts are received by staff, the only thing left for me to do is shoot a set "on spec" before I can be an "Official SG photographer". I know it won't be an issue getting it accepted because I have some ideas and killer locations in mind for some future shooting. Nothing like being confident huh? wink

Now I just need...

Somebody entertain me...I am getting bored trying to entertain myself. I keep going back to photo editing. And while I do enjoy it, my eyes are starting to cross just a little after doing it for so much time straight... surreal

Um, I wish I knew something entertaining to say... for now, a Hello will have to do. smile

Had to spend Sunday in the office this weekend...Saturday did give me an opportunity to go out location scouting which was nice. I found several new places that will be great for shooting. Sometimes it just helps to open your eyes I guess. I already have some good spots, but it's always good to expand your repetoire... smile

your pics are amazing!
