I found myself in a crappy mood yesterday, but I got over it. I made awesome chili-lime tilapia for dinner, had a discussion with Boy--mostly one-sided, but *I* felt better, at least--and decided to blow off the coast trip and have fun with the Doomsters instead.
I've been a bit concerned about wedding bookings, because A) we raised our rates for 2009, and B) people seem to be cutting back (even more?) on their photography, what with the down economy and all. But, I just saw a fax come in with a signed contract for one of our Big New Wedding Packages, and then I looked, and there are other bookings in the calendar that I hadn't heard about yet. So, yeah, I feel better now. ^^;
And, after a long break, I'm FINALLY getting back to some fashion shooting. The break was nice, but I was starting to feel stagnant after wrapping those bridal shoots. A wardrobe stylist contacted me about shooting last night, and that was apparently the kick in the butt that I needed, because now things are falling together for a soft, summery fashion shoot next Wednesday. Hotsauce.
Speaking of shooting, here are just a few images from the 300+ photos I shot at Berkeley!
I LOVE the little wushu kids. They're amazing!




The guy below takes TaiChi at my wushu school :)


This guy coached me for my first 2 years of wushu. Daaaaang! (inside joke)


I had a lot of fun shooting these, in spite of the gross lighting, and it proved an effective distraction from the sheer terror of competing in my own event. XD
