Miscellaneous ramblings.

Remember a few weeks ago when I did a photo shoot at a swimming pool under construction? The next big step where I'll be involved is this Thursday when they spray the gunite on the rebar. What's NOT going to be fun is that the gunite crew will be starting at 5:30AM to prepare for the first concrete truck's arrival at 7:00AM. I figured I'd get there a bit before the concrete does... I live a little under 2 hours away. You do the math. That's EARLY. I sincerely hope the weather cooperates. It would be a shame to go to all that trouble and not have anything to shoot.

I'll be clicking away this weekend too. Our agency is putting on an event for a large company over in Huntsville this coming Monday. Setup for it will start Saturday and run through Sunday. I'll be taking pictures of things as the workers take the empty area and transform it with a stage, trusses, lights, huge projection screens, sound systems and seating. At the actual event, I'll be sitting in the press area photographing all the activities. I'll be behind my camera a lot for the next few days. Looking forward to it though!

There's a possibility I'll be involved in some aerial photography sometime soon. A client of mine owns (and flys) a twin turbo-prop plane. I also found out that when he's not using it, it's leased out two 2 NASCAR drivers to use to get from home to the tracks. This might lead to some other cool possibilities, we'll see.

On another note, this is the THIRD month in a row I have gone over on my cellphone minutes. They really stick it to ya when you go over. As such, I've been trying to find a cell plan that fits me better. Right now I've got a Blackberry 7100. I like it for it's email and web connectivity. I was considering getting a Motorola RAZR because of it's size but I'm afraid it doesn't have the functionality I need. T-Mobile gave me a deal on the phone but I told them I'd think it over and didn't make the change. Decisions...
