More pictures.

You'd think I would have had my fill of picture taking after the weekend I had but NO!!! I spent most of the day at a client's office taking photos destined for their website (which we're doing). Nothing exotic here just typical "Sit here, knees pointed here, shoulders facing this way, eyes here, drop your chin a little..." type stuff. I do have the full lighting rig with me including one mammoth softbox and umbrella (lighting related). I guess people see the softbox and umbrella and that adds some "seriousness" to the look of the setup as many people commented by saying "Wow. This is the real thing." I wonder what they were expecting?

Ate lunch for the first time at Miwon over in Huntsville. DELICIOUS, FRESH SUSHI. Probably some of the best I've ever had no doubt. Good prices too. I'll be going back there. Nicole came along and ate too. She's an old friend of mine that actually professionally models. We talked about my weekend and after a short conversation, she agreed to let me photograph her. There's a little pressure on me here even though I'm just building my portfolio. She's shot with several pro-level photographers. I have a feeling she'll be directing me more that I'll be directing her. No worries though, she's a friend and I highly value her opinion and insight.

Me, Kev and Kyle met at the Guad for dinner. Food was good but the margarita was toxic. It was actually TOO strong. I had things I wanted to do tonight and didn't want to be impaired so I only drank a little of it before taking off.

I ended up bringing a memory card from Sunday's shoot over to CVS pharmacy to try out thier Kodak print station thing. It actually worked suprisingly well although it looks like I need to boost the color saturation on the 4x6 printing machine. The 8x10's I printed came out splendidly though. No adjustment needed there. Looks like I've found a new place to print photos en masse. At home, 100 sheets of 4x6 paper runs about $14. A full set of ink cartridges (6) runs about $80. I don't go through all the ink typically on 100 shots but invariably you run low on at least one of the ink colors. I'll cut down printing at home and just print when I need one or two and go to CVS when mass quantities are needed.

Bedtime already?
