Getting reading to go get a preview tour of a venue with my friend Veronica. :) I’m shooting her wedding there next month. Whee!

Prom tonight. Wedding tomorrow. Gotta dump my cards and recharge the batteries.

Must prep before I get too tired to think…

Prom season starts today! (for me, at least.) I shoot them for the paper. Proms are actually a lot of fun when you have no emotional investment in any of the social interactions that are going on. I just go and take pictures of the pretty dresses and jump around on the dance floor. Of course, then I have to come home and type cutlines and submit my gallery, but Lightroom moves things along pretty quickly.

It was a bit of a chilly morning, but the day ended so beautifully and softly warm! I went outside in my bare feet to take a picture of the moon. :)

Tonight is the 3rd annual amateur competition for the burlesque show where I work the door. The last two have had some pretty amazing acts come out of them, as well as helped start the burlesque career of a few new performers. It’s definitely a fun time, so if you can make it out, I suggest that you do! (It’s liable to be crowded, so showing up close to doors opening at 8pm is advised.) 

Yes! This is the show I shoot. Come to it, it is fantastic. (Come early because otherwise it will be sold out and you will be sad.)

Wedding in the AM. Going over my gear list, charging batteries, formatting cards, making sure I know where my pants are.

I am struggling with the photographer’s version of writer’s block…

It’s a beautiful morning to back up your hard drive!

Quote
"It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself."

If you hear something nice said about someone, tell them. The knowledge that people are saying good things about you when you are not around is fantastically uplifting.
