Wow... it's been a month?
It's impressive how quickly time can fly!
I hate to say, but I'm still (STILL) at the car dealership. I enjoy it because I choose to enjoy it, but it's certainly not what I want to be doing! The coworker I had that was actually a good worker (though not according to some people) "quit"... though I'm hearing now that he "got quit"... not too sure about everything, and nor do I really care. Weather's been so crappy as of late that I don't really care that he hasn't shown up since he put in his notice (he was supposed to be there til after Xmas) I've been keeping busy driving and such... hasn't been too bad.
I'm getting a little tired, however, of the seemingly constant rejection from various job interviews I've been going on. And the one job offer I got (more or less) I had to turn down as it was full time and my PT is getting busy enough that I'm needing/wanting part time work to free up more time to take on more clients and eventually get that to the point of supporting me! It's REALLY not going to take much more to get it to that point- or at least replace my current income! In the New Year, I'm going to approach some larger corporations to see about offering lunch time yoga classes as it's proven that relaxed employees are more productive and exercise energizes the mind and body. We'll have to see if that flies!
Shannon's photography seems to be taking off! He put an add on Craigs List and has had a couple contacts. One session he's done and got some nice pics. Another contact is for early January and it should be real interesting- she's native and her kids are going to be in full native garb- the traditional ceremonial... should be cool! He's been contacted for a wedding in early Feb, but haven't heard any more about that. He has a session this weekend for a couple gals including an (ex) rockabilly model which could be cool!!! We've also been doing a lot more of myself... playing with lighting and backdrops, ect... it's been loads of fun!

But it was kinda interesting at work... a couple of my coworkers are friends of mine on FB. One of them always blushes when he compliments me on the recent photos... and especially the most recent ones as I was actually nude- though very tasteful. (they wouldn't be allowed up there if they werent!) but the other day, he decided to show the other guy he works with the photos. Very little was actually said by him at the time- which really surprised me. He said he liked the style of photography, but very little about me. This morning I went in and was visiting... then he said a few things. I didn't realize he used to be a professional photographer! He asked me where I learned to pose... it's always just come to me... he said I have a natural ability to pose and I should take acting and modelling lessons to increase my repitoire! I've had a couple people say I should, but never coming from an actual photographer- I've just always shrugged it off! It's really very intriguing! I'd love to get into modelling!
Too much I already have so much going on and so little time to do it!
So for now, I'll work with what I've got (as I KNOW agencies would tell me to lose 30 lbs and I'm too old!) and continue to work with Shannon! He's got the great eye and everything! I have ideas of what I want to do for some photos... and whatever happens, happens!
