Returing to work

Man, returning to work after a long weekend sucks..   4 days of waking up when ever, doing whatever whenever..   Next holiday.. 4th of July.. whooooppp whoooopppp.. i have to go somewhere this time.  no staying around the area..

Ok.. now!!! so im driving home and my frickin check engine light come on again.. Im like  WTF.. so i turn the radio down to listen to the engine.. to see if i can hear anything funny.  so i get going.. i hear this high pitched squeel and lost of air...  Hmmm boost leak.. great.. then i looked at RPM's when driving.. turbo kicks around 3000 RPM.. so no real pull at 3000..  GREAT !!!! so i gently drive candy home..  frickin intake hose came off.. this part of fix last week.. i guess tech, didn't properly secure the hose..

Aww, done

Pictures.. pictures.. i have trouble trying to decide how much to see photos for on my site... i want to be competitive with others.. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. so stressful.  I need to take a road trip.. DC, OBX.. or somewhere.. maybe even Downtown Savannah, Georgia

OOOOOOO OOOOOOO

I got out for some photos..  Whoooooo hooooooooo...

HDR.. photo

Its Friday for me...

Looking ahead to this weekend.. I have to work at the gym sat and sun.. BOOOOOOOOOOO!!! but its 7-1, so not that bad. I have to get out and do something this weekend.. maybe a road trip to OBX or maybe northward (Richmond or DC)..  hang out for the day and come home in the eve sometime.  Maybe I'll drive down Mon. I dunno. GRRRRRRRRRR, decision decisions..

but I have things i need to do locally.. as well. like clean my frickin house. lol

But enough of that

I have to get out for some photos.  street art and abandon buildings are my active projects.. and any other random thing that peaks my interest.  i have to set a price point on photos for site. so i can get that up and running.  so much to do.. not enough time for anything.. i need to work on time management..

Wed.. Great Day.

Wednesdays are almost my favorite day of the week..  Lets me know the weekend is close and I need to figure out what to hell to do with myself.  This weekend is even better.. Its an extended weekend, Memorial Day is Monday.  Im thinking, Friday sounds like to good day to have off as well.. 4 days off.. hmmmmmmm, but nowhere to go.. I have to work on this.

Candy is back and functioning properly.  I was so happy to rid the P.O.S Dodge..

I got some emails yesterday about so HS friends that want me to photo them.. Im pretty excited and nervous about this..  I need to get out more.. and learn more to make me better at this craft.. 

I spoke with former Brother-n-law/friend yesterday.. it was good to chat with him for a bit.  Its definently a missed friendship..  We will see what the future holds.

Oh Tuesday

Well..

Candy is in the shop.. check engine light came on for some strange reason.. So i dropped her off yesterday.. I have a Rent-a-car..  A frickin Dodge Avenger..  Let me tell.. That car is the biggest piece of SHIT.. Its big and clunky.. Cheaply made inside .. only thing going for is the satillite radio..  Why would some buy that car bewilders me..  It doesn't even look good.  Its like throwing a brick in the wind. OMFG!!!!  And most of all it a gas hog. I have driven maybe 30 miles.. quarter tank of gas used.. driving 60-65 on interstate.. speed limits in the city.    Candy get well soon.. I miss you so..  Feels like im on a bad date with this garbage car im driving at the moment.

Rant over...

Beautiful day out.. forgot my cameras again.. cant get a photo to post today.. maybe when I get home I can go out and get one. 

I need to go an set some prices on my site so people can download and purchase photos.. Ill look into it tonight..

It's Mon....

It was a pretty good weekend. No complaints other than it was to short.  But this is a holiday weekend.. so its a short week next week.. whooo hoooo.. i may take friday off.. hmmmm maybe..

I had a shoot this past weekend. It went pretty good. becasue some people showed up late.. it felt rushed. so i couldnt get the teenagers to relax and have fun..  Finally when i got them calm and laughing it was time for them to leave.. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..   I got to use my reflect, that thing is awesome, i just have to use it more to get comfortable with it and to figure out some techniques to use it properly.

on another note...  the rapture didn't happen as advertised.. lol.. but i wonder if it did and we didn't make the cut.. hmmmmmmmmmmmm..  oh well.

In another group i started.. we are working on a project called street art.. so i need to get cracking on finding street art.. so that could be anything.. I forgot my cameras this morning.. soooooooooo.. have to get them later.

UMMMMMMMMMMM.. Yea

So on the news, theres a guy predicting the rapture to happen today at 1801(601pm).  The funny thing is, the predicted it to happen sometime ago and was wrong.  When asked about his wrong prediction the last time..  He said Edison didn't have the light bulb perfect the first time.. WTF??  If you follow the Bible at all, you know it says 2 Peter 3:10 " But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." and there many other verses mention this as well..  I you know a thief is coming he no longer a thief.. you can make preparations for his visit..  If your your heart is with the Lord, you wont worry him coming because your heart is in the right place..  thats all i have on this matter...

AHHHH today.. gotta get some stuff today. Like start removing stuff from my second room.  I have a photoshoot this evening.. some Sr. Portraits and Prom pics.. should be fun.. I need to buy another battery for my other camera too. And check out some recommended places.

AAAHHHHHHH, Its Friday

So, Its friday morning.. weathers feeling great, suns out... and i have to frickin work.  But im happy to be working.  Im feeling somewhat accomplished this week.  Training volumes are going and website is up and running.  I have some photos to take this weekend.  Should be fun.

Ill have to get and take some more photos other than Prom pics.  But of what?? and where to go??  hmmmmmmmm...  Maybe a walk through Colonial Williamsburg. I still have open ended projects.. Abandoned Building and Walkways.  I have to create more little projects: but of what?  I have some photo books that have little assignments in them.. maybe i will make those my projects.  great idea.. ill get on that later on.

Also this weekend, I need to start cleaning out second room to create my little photo studio...

Well...

Site is up.. finally..

Because its published.. i  think i see something i want to change.. but it up and running..

Life has so many hairpen turns.

This is so weird.. Yesterday I read an article about a motorcyclist being killed in an accident.  So how or another i felt connected to it, immediately I hoped it wasnt someone i knew.  So this morning I get a call from my ex-wife, she delivered the new that Jon and mutual friend was killed in a motorcycle accident.  I asked her if was the accident that happened in Suffolk yesterday? she said yes.

One can never understand reasoning behind anything.  Prayers are with the family.

Sucky day and it just started.

A Rainy/Cloudy Wed.....

Last night, I got through a ton of editing for site.. I have even created Galleries... So Im on a roll, whooooo hoooo

This morning was tough.. I really struggled to get out of bed.. Seems that the temperature was just right. Felt great.. I think I could have slept a lot longer.. Man ole man, the storms were rolling in this morning.. I have a picture.. from phone, almost pulled over and used other camera. But i was already running late..

So tonights plan is to, write the about me (BIO)... scary thought.. im not good at that cant of stuff. Maybe i can get someone else to write it.  HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......

OK,  I have brought my cameras again today.. hopefully this time they will actually get used..

A photo a day.  LMAO.. we will see how this works out.

So, today..  cris and i experimented with car motion.. car in focus but blurred background... it was a tough task.. we need (at least i need) more practice 

A Day none the less

Today started slowly...  I woke finding myself dragging my feet.

So, I hope to have site at the end of the week.  I also need to start carry cameras everywhere I go...
