Yet Another Drive-by

[batskeets]

Well, my workload hasn't decreased, but at least I seem to have gotten the scary deadlines out of the way, so that affords me a bit more freedom than before. Woo!

Running was pretty good yesterday, although I cramped up somewhere around mile 2. That seems to happen to me quite a bit, actually... I can't figure out if I'm breathing wrong, or if it's because I'm unconsciously favoring my injured leg, or if it's something else entirely. (if any of you experienced runners out there have some thoughts on that, I'd appreciate them!) Lifting went really well, though. Lots and lots of core work!

I had a nice evening in yesterday; got a bit of work done, watched a bit of The Colbert Report (still effin' genius!) and made steak salad! It is bordering on ridiculous how happy I am about those three things, heh. David and Ben biked over later in the evening to talk business stuff, shoot the breeze, and have a few beers. I can't imagine that it was an easy task biking up that hill, but it was nice to hang out at my own house for once. :) We have a pretty nice pool table in the upstairs, too, so we played a few rounds of cutthroat, and I basically reaffirmed that I suck at pool. ::laughs::

Speaking of business stuff, the shiny new business cards have already begun seeping into the Eugene community... Ben left some at his hair salon yesterday, and I left some at the bank today. I wonder if anyone will bite. Speaking of, if anyone local-ish happens to know people who are getting married, or having some other event that could use a photographer, I can throw some business cards at you! :D We might even give you a cut of the profits, if you refer a paying gig to us.

I'm in a good mood today. :D I'm going to run again after work, then hit up Horsehead for a bit, and then see my co-worker's band play. Fun times, hopefully!

P.S. I put up some flower pictures and a couple sillier ones. They were edits done in a hurry, so be gentle!

Do you guys do video for weddings as well?

Sadly, no, but we are sort of looking for someone who does videography, so we can figure out some sort of partnership thing...

Don't mean to sound rude or anything, & I don't know how much experience & what kind of equipment you guys all have, but wedding pictures are usually a HUGE deal- I'm talkin' medium format film cameras & huge 3-point (or more) lighting systems. And since it's not something you can redo if everything doesn't turn out perfectly, it's not the kind of thing you want to do unless you're seriously prepared for it, which is why wedding pix are so expensive. That's the one thing you definitely don't want unhappy customers from.

OTOH, if you've got all that equipment & used it enough to know what you're doing, wedding pix are quite expensive... ^^;

Ditto. Wedding pics are a horribly complicated deal.

Wedding Pictures

If you guys want to pad your portfolio a bit, feel free to take some pictures at our wedding. The setting will be beautiful :-)

P.S. The photographer we hired for the wedding (earlier this year) is really nice and would probably be willing to give you some pointers.

Runner's cramps...

Bananas work wonders for cramps. I tend to eat a lot of bananas (at least one a day) and I can't remember the last time I had cramps of any sort. Then there are my friends who usually get cramps except when they've been good about eating bananas.

If you don't like bananas then look for another potassium source. (Vitamin pills might be okay but your body doesn't tend to absorb artificial sources that well.)
