When I find myself getting intimidated, I remind myself that everyone poops
What a crazy, amazing and exhausting shoot filed week this has been so far!!!!
Sunday was a lovely 8 hour shoot with some of my new friends who are fest/circus performers. We had Mia the bellydancer, Lex dancing with swords and thai fingers, Fleck the clown/mime juggling, Fleck the contact juggler and a fire performer (a.k.a.) the fabulous, flamboyant, heterosexual and sexy TimTV. All of this wonderousness took place at Theatre Bizarre and if you haven't been there, look it up. Then take the amount of amazing talent from that day and times it by three.
Following the shoot was one of those rare, in-depth, five hour conversations in dark place with TimTV. What a wise and delicious character he is!!! He is already an incredible addition to my life. He poops. ;)
Yesterday (that would be ah...Tuesday) I drove out to Charlotte (west of Lansing) to shoot with Reven who is a well-known, well-respected female nude model. I am shooting her, and several other models for my Adv. color final. Her friend, local photographer Erica Spencer, let me use her wonderful basement studio to do the shoot. Both were very welcoming and extremely fun to talk to. We ended up getting into an hour or so long discussion after the shoot and then we ended up carpooling into Lansing to lightpaint and scout a location for one of Ericas upcoming shoots. We spent about an hour and a half running through an apple orchard at night illuminating the trees with external flashes. Needless to say, I got home several hours later than I had planned but it was pure amazingness.
Today, I have plans to shoot 3 other models in the studio at OCC, also for my color final. One of them may be backing out, another is not responding to my confirmation so...hmmm.. At least that will leave me three hours to shoot one girl. After yesterday, I don't know if I even need to shoot anymore, I have so much to work with already. But I love this project and I'm likely going to carry it beyond just my final project.
I work tomorrow and then practice/party at my instructors house in Auburn Hills.
Friday should be fun. Emergency CLICK meeting to discuss some internal issues, a job interview at Regeneration at 7:30 (Yes, the amazing thrift store in Ferndale ;) ) and then circus practice at the Dojo!!!!!
