Calm before the storm

I haven't really written anything lately because, well, I don't really feel like I've been doing a lot lately. The last 3 weeks has been kind of slow. I planned it that way. Come September and October I will be shooting a bunch of homes, both for architects, builders and magazines. I've got 5 weddings and it will be fall, one of the most beautiful times in our little corner of the world. Which means I'll be squeezing out lots o little shoots in the Aspens as well.

So after a few weddings and some editorial assignments, I decided to dig in and do a lot of long needed maintenance on my office, computers, equipment, brain and so on. I hate it. Maintenance is the most boring tedious stuff in the world! But...it has to be done. Because if it isn't, I get shut down right in the middle of the most important jobs. I get stressed out, grumpy and nobody wins.

I also took an opportunity to enjoy a little of the place that I live in, Durango. The water on the river has been gin clear and the fishing has been selective but fun. The trails are dry and in great condition. The mornings have still been cool enough to get in a spin on the road bike. The work I've been doing over the last few weeks allows and demands that I get outside to work off some of that technological drudgery.

But now I feel good and prepared. Fortunately, I got my stuff together because one of my clients contacted me this morning and notified me that our shoot for next week just got rolled forward to this Thursday. Here it goes!

I hope to have some more photographic discussions in the next few weeks. It should be a delightful blend of "Check out this cool photo" and "now, why do people have to be like that?" Either way, I'm looking forward to the future and all it holds. Should be fun!

Cheers
