(no subject)
It has been a while since I updated but the last few weeks have been crazy.
I have been working on 2 very different photo shoots. One happened on Friday and I am so happy with how the photos turned out. But I had no doubts about what Tasha (Redwall Photo) could do.
The second photo shoot (also with Tasha) is happening this Friday and I have a lot of work ahead of me to get the job done. But, it will get done. :) I am looking forward to this shoot. We have an interesting shoot planned for sure.
I went to an industry day that was part of Chicago Fashion Week and found myself facing several opportunities that I did not expect. These opportunities I would have killed for when I graduated from college. I gave up on ever getting to do these things and now, here they are. One is an internship. I think it would be very good for me to do an internship but there are a few things I am uncertain about. The other will allow me to do exactly what I am doing now but with support and mentoring. Why I was reluctant to apply for that opportunity, I'm not sure.
You know that thing they say about addiction where someone has to "hit bottom" or finally figure out for themselves that what they are missing is worth more than what they get from what they are addicted to? I think that also applies to negative behaviors like procrastination. Procrastination isn't exactly the right word. I was guilty of letting life pass by and assuming that if something was important for me to do it would happen. I knew that wan't really how life worked but it was the easy way out. I let so many opportunities pass by because I didn't pursue them or follow-up. I became aware of this a few weeks ago and started looking for these opportunities as they were happening so I wouldn't pass them by. Two days later I had something small but obvious happen that I missed which was my big wake up call that has spurred big changes.
It also helps to have an amazing friend talk you through your "I'm not worthy" freak out. ;)
