What’s been going down?

SONY DSC

Man, I can’t remember the last time I actually downloaded some blog worthy words from my mind to this blog.

Things have been so insane lately. We got this task of taking pictures of an entire gymnastics team–that took us to getting up before 5 in the morning to do our day jobs to get out and take pictures until about 8 at night, which of course was about an hour from our house, and then going through the pictures to make sure they were all sharp. That was tough. Not to mention that two weeks before, I was sweating in nasty New Orleans.

I also got a new digital camera body, and two new lenses (the same one–18-50 f/2.8, because the original broke…then suddenly the second one broke). And now I have to wait for B&H Photo to reopen (they’ve been closed for the past week for holiday) to return the lens…which is weird because I am heading back to New York next week–so I should just drop it off. Eh, I don’t know. This lens is making me lose faith in Sigma, though I am in love with their 10-20mm.

So pretty much, for the past couple months, I’ve been all about taking pictures. I got to experience a ton of new things, like professionally taking pictures, to coming up with a mobile studio, to a crash course on lighting. Not to mention the ongoing addiction to Flickr.

This won’t let up, either. I mean, next week, I’m back in New York. Then soon after, it’s a photo excursion to Page, Arizona for some Antelope Canyon loving. Then quite literally afterwards, I am going to San Antonio for some food and photography. Plus, I have to sprinkle in a return trip to New Orleans and Denver somewhere in there.

So there you have it. I spend as much time on the shutter as I do clicking the left mouse button.

Wow, that looks really freakin’ awesome with the 10mm focal length. It’s like a stalk of cauliflower burgeoning out of the ground. Shortly (?!) I’ll have mine up for you to see.

Yes, the 10mm is awesome. I’ve kissed it before, you know.
