and those of you who have seen my current computer know that it is about time!!!
So today I spent a little more than $5.75 at the Photo Expo, but I got two Pocket Wizards and a new soft box! Yeay!!!
Today was the first day of the Photo Expo. Yes, I feel stupid. It is really great to be in the presence of all of the huge names and to realize that you are not as good as you think you are (haha but it is true) a good dose of humility never hurt anyone. It was also wonderful to see Gary Kirksey (one of my favorite professors from OU) and some other fellow alumnus. Amidst all of the insanity of the day, people running around, demonstrations overlapping, mounds of literature, and almost complete chaos, i managed to meet up with the other OU kids downstairs in the food court where much to my dismay, I found myself shelling out $5.75 for a Snapple and a banana. I think my brain was shot from all the excitement. And I’m going back tomorrow.
I’m back in the city! I flew in last night after two hours of delays (good ‘ole LaGuardia) I love flying into LGA… even though I don’t think I’ve ever had a complete trip in and out without a delay! Frank commented to me, “the traffic going in there is backed-up; why should the airport be any different?!?” haha. Anyway…
I love flying into LGA because the “road” (did you know there are “roads” in the sky that the airplanes fly on? i just found out) So the “road” into LGA flies just to the left of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan. It is so beautiful, especially at night. So if you ever fly into LaGuardia, get a window seat on the far left hand side of the plane! It is one of the most beautiful views of the city you will ever see. Enjoy the view, then thank me ; )
This afternoon I was a “visiting professional” to “Ms. Boyt’s” Art Class. (Ms. Boyt is most commonly known as Darci, one of my BFFs from OU) I cannot believe how young all of the high schoolers were! I thought I was so old in high school. Anyway, I tried to make my little 15 minute presentation on careers in photography to a group of high schoolers as relevant as possible. They seemed to be paying attention and actually asked questions! So I gave the 15 minute version twice to Darci’s two Foundations of Art classes, then her Digital Photography class was all mine!!! : ) After the presentation, Darci let me teach a lesson (on reading histograms and creating a masked levels layer). I actually LOVED teaching. It was very rewarding. Hummmmm……
Today is Tiffany & Thomas’s BIG DAY! …………….it is also raining!!!!!!
Is this the end of the world??? Nope. Au contraire– that translates to nice soft lighting from the billowy clouds and vivid colors on those beautiful autumn trees… yeay!!!!!!
i had forgotten how gorgeous this place is in the fall……… or maybe i just appreciate it more?
“Ohio” is how you say hello in Japanese… it is also where I am going this afternoon
Ohayou y’all
Over the past 36 hours, I’ve slept THREE!! The first 12 of those were shooting Kate & Rod’s wedding up in Rye. Now for the past 24, I’ve been doing MARATHON photo editing… with the help of my assistants, the goal was to have everything sorted, chosen, edited AND posted in 24 hours. It didn’t quite happen like that… things always take longer than planned, don’t they? But the wedding has been sorted, chosen, and 550 have been edited… leaving 200 to go. It is times like these when I’m like WHY do I think it is necessary to hand edit every single image??? Oh right. It’s not necessary. I just want to. It would be AWESOME to pull another all-nighter and finish this up, but I don’t think my little body will allow it…
So for now, here are some teasers… a three of my faves from yesterday:
