April Foolishness

Sometime I get really upset when I go to the shoot and I wait, and wait, and no ones there. Not today though. I think I kind of new the girl was probably there, but that I just wasn't seeing her. She said she tried to call and txt but I didn't answer my phone. Though she kind of acted like that was my fault. My conclusion is that she typed in my number wrong and since she never bothered to give me her number, granted I should have asked, but I didn't have hers, so yup, the shoot today didn't happen. I just figure things happen for a reason, and I will do the shoot at a later date.

Time to go, read, and enjoy the rest of my Friday.

Stay tuned.

Sometimes you win some,
sometimes you loose some.

It feels like lately I've been loosing some.

Or at least getting alot of reschedules.

A lot of photos should be on there way this next month.

Stay tuned...

Restroom fun

She's a singer. She at war with a friend, over who can do the strangest shoots. This takes place in a public restroom. Please excuse the germs in case they can be transmitted via cyber space.

I didn't feel good. The wind was blowing every which way. Needless to say, I'm not sure how much I truly remember about this photoshoot. The model was nice. She's an activist for model's rights. She wants to put on workshops to prepare the new model. I actually think that's a good idea. There are alot of creepos out there, not to mention alot of scams, and I think models should be informed, as well as photographers that are just learning the ropes. It's not good if you have to learn the hardway.

Because it was a windy day, I had real difficulty with my reflectors and keeping it on the spot where I wanted it. I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to depend on my reflector more. I needed it though b/c the sunlight coming in through the trees was messing up the lighting. So the shoot went alright. Saw some random dogs, all huge, which I could have done without. No snakes though. Thank god. Last summer, we ran into a rattler, and let me tell you, that wasn't all that fun. So here's a photo from that shoot.

Sentimental

It was a beautiful day. How could it not be? It was the first truely warm weekend in months. I get to the park, there are families out enjoying the day, it was a perfect day for the shoot. Now I will admit, I had some trouble getting in the feel of this shoot. But once we found the little green patch of grass, things started going much better. The model was a chatterbox. I bit of a nervous chatter box, but nice. Sometimes I get so tired on these shoots. It's like you walk around and you are trying to use your creatively to get a good shot, it's like you only have this one to two hours to do it. Sometimes everything works out, and you get beautifulness. Other times, I just feel disappointed. I don't know if it's a good thing or not, this feeling that I have that I'm never quite good enough. The model was a newbie, so that's always more work, or it takes more time for the models to get a hang of it. I did get some good photos that I like. To me that is all that matters. I want to create a good time for the models. Where they can feel comfortable and express who they are and I can try to capture that on camera. It doesn't always work, and sometimes personalities clash. But I do always try.
