Wow. I'm already excited about this weekend (even though it's going to be busy), and it's only Tuesday!
I'm taking Friday off from work and getting a TON of stuff done. Some of it is annoying, like going to the DEQ to get my car registration renewed. But some of it will be fun, too, like meeting and chatting with several different people whom I'll likely be working for or collaborating with in the near future... huzzah!
Saturday morning is a clothing shoot with a repeat client, and
matrixleap will be assisting me! That aspect will be interesting; I've never really worked with an assistant before, because I usually either handle things myself, or have Boy there to help me. And we may also be filming a bit, so I can pull together a little promo video.
Saturday night is
typsie's luau birthday, which sounds fun and awesome. When it comes to my wardrobe, I tend to avoid anything floral like the plague, but I think I have a cheesy plastic lei kicking around the closet somwhere...
On Sunday afternoon, I'll be doing a fashion collaboration with another photographer, and that'll be really fun. I've met her before and like her quite a bit, and we have some awesome models and stylists lined up, so it'll be a nice chance to play and see how other folks do things. It seems like I haven't shot fashion in forever!
Overall, I'm feeling surprisingly good today, considering I had to get up at 5:45am this morning to drop Boy off at the bus station. I hope this is due to the recent bed improvement.
Oh, and I totally self-timered my new employee photo earlier today, hahaha. I figured I should, seeing as I have ten pounds less fat and ten inches more hair than when I got hired 2 years ago. All of the photos are a definite improvement on the old ones, but today I figured out how I could set up the space to actually *get* some background separation, so I'm liking today's employee photos way better than yesterday's. WIN :D
The only thing I can think of to complain about is that my PAX badge hasn't come in the mail yet. BOO-URNS. USPS has generally been made of fail, lately. They also recently broke the new french press I ordered on Amazon... I pulled it out of the box and whee! Broken glass! Guess I need to find some time to call about having it replaced.
