Pacing Is Everything
Thanks go out to my good friend, PJ for the love I got in my inbox this morning;
"You haven't posted for a while. And you don't have to apologize or explain. I hope you aren't agonizing over it. Don't let it be too much of a mental burden...the pressure to post. No one will feel cheated if you spread them out a bit and simply post an interesting story about how your photo adventures are going...even if it's a story about how they're going nowhere for a while. We all love a story about human limitations. Honesty is all that's required. Thinking of you..."
Like a marathon, I suspect pacing is everything in a one a day, 365 photo project. It's bright and early this Tuesday morning and I have not missed a single 'daily shot', but blogging has taken a back seat to shooting and the huge amounts of digital workflow I have generated by taking three photography courses/workshops simultaneously; Advanced Studio Lighting, The Fine Art Nude, and Lighting For Editorial & Fashion. In the past ten days I have worked with fourteen different models!
When not in the studio, I often fall back on my Apple iPhone 3Gs and my Panasonic Lumix. I ran 20 miles (30 kilometres) on Sunday and I still haven't downloaded the Lumix!! And to be honest, training for a marathon often feels like a full-time part job in and of itself.
So, thanks all for bearing with me. The pictures are there. They're coming...
Friday, at two minutes to Midnight, and realizing I had yet to get my picture. I was desperate! I had been sitting in front of my iMac 24" monitor for what seemed like forever. I am dying to go on a trip. As I sat there stumped, up popped my screen-saver... Saved by Apple and Steve Jobs.
Apple 3Gs.
