Monday thoughts

Ah, it's Monday again and here are my many thoughts of the week:

-Due to my many activities this weekend and all the fun I had, I now have completely lost my voice. It's not just hoarse. It's gone. I can only whisper. The next few days should be interesting.........

-Yesterday I had two shoots with two fabulous couples. In the afternoon, I shot Gabby and Chris in order to re-create some formals from their wedding in Cancun. We had their three flower girls, their ring bearer, and one of the bridesmaids to get a few shots. It was a windy day, I tell ya and we were creative with the locations and backgrounds. Well, they don't know that yet since they haven't seen the pictures yet.

-Then I headed downtown to shoot Jacquie and Kris and to try a few new things. Things didn't start off as I had planned because I forgot one little piece that then prevented me from using supplemental lighting, and it was unbelievably cloudy. And windy. And cold. So we adjusted and went in a different direction. But they were great about it and humored me! Then we headed to dinner afterwards at a really neat restaurant and sat and talked a long while. If my voice was hoarse before dinner, then it was pretty much shot after dinner, but it was worth it.

-I'm trying to wrap everything up before leaving on Wednesday for Vegas. Trying my darndest.

-Is anyone watching what's going on in South America?

-I decided this weekend that I shouldn't be as bad at playing pool as I am since I live with a pool table. I need to practice more. Such a worthy goal, right?

-Saturday morning, I helped another photographer with his Indian wedding. If you haven't been to an Indian wedding, then I must tell you how colorful they are. The clothing they wear, men and women, are beautiful and adorned. The bride is very beautiful with her clothing and her jewels on her face. The families really celebrate this union through dancing and socializing and ceremony. I didn't stay the whole time because I was just asked to cover the time that the bride wasn't with the groom, but I was there to capture a good portion of it.
