I'm not sure how it's all going to go or how much I will really enjoy it but I know I need to go into this with an open mind otherwise I'll doom myself from the get go. It'll give me more time to be in the field, drive around the state, and get a fresh perspective on things I am only used to seeing from my silo'd bubble.
There'll be more on that in the future but for now I figure I should be wise and get to bed early and not be late on my "first day." But why change routine? I stay up too late and do alright.
Other weekend news - it was a good weekend. Saturday turned out to be a lot better than I could have planned. All you can eat sushi always equals a good time. We tried a new board game (a game of things) and it was just as I had predicted - dirty, wrong and all kinds of awesome. I didn't snap as many pictures as I could have but...really...what am I going to do with hundreds of pictures of the same 6 people from one night? Not much. I had a tough time with the 100 I sifted through. Moved them down to under 50.
It reminded me again of how much I enjoy editing. I don't try to stream the event together with a theme or anything. For right now, since I'm still learning a lot, I am trying to look at each picture as an individual and edit it as a standalone. At times there'll be a good string of pictures with the same look and feel but I don't want to throw away any opportunities for something unique to come out of my brain. I think I wrote this too (or told someone) but the best part of editing is that they can come out to how I think they should be. I'm the critical eye. If you don't like them that's ok because I'm not being paid and I'm having fun. It's the sassy truth.
The more I shoot the better I get and the better I can adapt to my surroundings. And people don't seem to mind as much that it's out and about with me. And if they do - that's fine because I don't mind. It's fun.
Err, that's about it, I think.
Our awesome friends are coming to town this week for an extended stay for a wedding and work but we'll get a chance to hang out with 2 cool people. This week should fly by and then comes a party at Richie's and having some bar fun in the heights. I look forward to it already.
If you're sitting at work and you're bored and want to kill a few minutes - feel free to check out the pictures from last night here.
Here are my couple faves from the night and then it's time to rest on up.
