solicit


One of the local bear club board members called me last night and asked if I’d be interested in shooting a fundraising calendar featuring the hotter and/or less shy members of the club.

I said I’d think about it and get back with them. (I’m getting better at just knee-jerk saying “yes” every time someone asks me to do something for free).

There must be a line somewhere between generous and mercenary asshole… I’m still searching for it.

Thinking about saying yes though…

If I spread it out over several months it wouldn’t make that big of a time impact….

and I did justify the Nikon purchase by promising myself I’d use it to push my career further along and just not use it to shoot empty apartments……

and I’ll get to shoot pseudo-sexy pics of some seriously sweet-on-the-eyes fellas like my chronic obsession of half a decade, John, (a.k.a. “Crash”)…

and I get to oh look a chicken.

OBSESS, PLAY

This has been the first winter where I’ve begun to appreciate the freaky tundra low-angle sunlight outside…. It has a tendency to make the common look haunting… like semi-neglected handball courts I drive by damn near every day in Forest Park.

I’m starting to feel stifled by the 500 pixels wide max in this layout provides.

My snot-nose has turned into rubber-nose, (a sign of recovery) – and I felt coherent enough to return to the office today… Kevin however came home last night with a sore throat – and,… yup.. he’s on his back sick as a dog this morning.

We’re keeping the old camera… it’s a nice back up and now Chad will have his own to grab whenever the itch to make Chandids hits him.

Soooo.. I made a new camera source icon.

juicy


I made this pact with my fellow media / photo grads at Webster University:

“If ever we shall run into each other in the future and one of us is shooting weddings…. we were obliged to shoot that person and put them out of their misery.”

So do you think “engagement photos” count?

Jake, the big boss’ assistant, henchman all around probably the biggest charmer of the whole damn organization,) – asked me if I’d take a photo of him and his wife-2-B to use as an engagement photo.

I told him of “the pact”….. He said something witty and thought provoking…. and before I knew it I was making arrangements to meet them over the weekend in front of the Art Museum. Damn that charm… DAMN IT!

The shoot went fine… If you believe in omens – the permanent bitter cold overcast of the weekend broke for 20 minutes and I got sun.

I think I got a few usable shots for Juicy.

who? Jake and Susie… “Juicy”..

We’ve taken to the annoying self-amusement of naming our couple friends….

jodfoster, (Shannon) and her common law hubby Duffel? = “Shuffle”

Erin and John = “Eon”

Anthony and Brenna? = “Antenna”

nnnnuck nnnnuck nnnnuck

Shutting up now.

Already not blogging.
