I switched hosts recently, thank you so much to my dear
just_monicat who hosted my stuff for so long. I haven't had a real change to move everything over, so it's not all done, but I'm moving stuff over little by little.
For those who don't know, I entered 6 pics in the Fresno Fair this year, did I post about this already? Well too bad. I won 3rd! For the one pic that I didn't think would even place, b/c it a) It was about celebrating 150 years of Fresno County and it was a pic of Vanity in front of the Fresno sign and b) b/c she was half naked wearing a see through bra and you could see her piercings. But it won 3rd. I think it didn't place higher b/c well. let's face it. They didn't want a half-naked hottie to win. I can respect that, I guess. But what was even cooler, was that I didn't know I also won an Honorable Mention for my pic of
scarlett75's kids! That was really cool. Apparently it's a big deal if you even make it to the exhibit hall b/c of the volume of pics, but all mine made it, so I'm happy. I wonder if anyone bought them, I guess we'll find out on Wednesday.
To see which ones I entered, which I shoulda done earlier so that ppl could vote for it, dammit, check the cut.
Shooting more stuff tomorrow, Paul Mitchell shoot again on wednesday, going to LA for the weekend to shoot a friend and maybe another friend, been shooting a lot lately, it's just been bananas. I almost got to shoot my first SuicideGirls set for a girl who actually is not Vanity last weekend but that fell through. Oh well. It was gonna be awesome.
Work has been hella stressful and I can't talk about it in public. So i'll f-only that and post some pics that should be posted f-only anyway. :) So look for that. I hope you all have been well! Khat, call me since I don't have your #.
I also have made the conscious decision to stop undervaluing myself and raised my rates and am no longer doing trade on shoots, unless it's something I deem ok to do so for. My rates are very reasonable and after meeting with other photographers, the only way I can afford to get better is to start charging, and it's nothing personal, it's just business. So Lindsay, we now have matching rates, kinda. :) Take care all!
