They really ought to figure out a way to make it taste better. Or something.
"Simple" 4/13/08
So yesterday I did a bit of a reshoot of CJ again. Turns out the web designer of our church's website saw my work and liked it, so he asked us to reproduce it with some posing, for use on the website. For a quick 10 second or so shoot, it came out pretty good. In fact, it took me longer to set up the flash and umbrella, and do testing, than it did for the shoot itself.
What's also pretty cool is that from this, I've now been tapped to do updated headshots for the staff of our church. That should be pretty fun. They've offered compensation for the job, but considering that its my church, I'm probably going to do it pro bono. After all, my church has always been open to me and has been my place of refuge, and they've never asked for anything in return. I should at least try to return the favor.

So, I finally got myself a monopod. At a very decent price too. A Manfrotto Carbon Fiber monopod for only 40 bucks. Original price was 120! How'd I get it knocked down so far? Well, for one, I actually had a store credit at Samy's Camera for about 20 bucks, so that brought it down to about 100. Then, in an awesome turn of events, the guy ringing me up asked what types of photography I specialized in. I told him I do mostly portraits and special events at the moment, with the intent of going into full time weddings. Suddenly the guy is very interested, and exclaims he's a wedding photographer as well. In fact, he's got a wedding coming up in a couple of weeks and he's gonna require a second shooter because his usual second shooter had to drop out. He asks if I'm interested, and of course I jump at the opportunity.
So, after a quick exchange of business cards, he gives me his employee discount for the monopod as a show of good will. Thank you, Mr. James. You're awesome. And thank God for continuous opportunities for work that keep coming in. My sights only keep setting higher and higher now.
Yeah, don't really have much to say today, but at least I updated.
