MISSING: Have You Seen This Weekend?
I feel like my weekend disappeared into thin air! But I guess I actually did a lot of stuff.
I had to get up early to start some CDs burning, proofs uploading, and various and sundry other smallish tasks. I got a lot done, so it wasn't a bad thing, I'm just really growing to hate being in a hurry. ;p
Shoot on Saturday was pretty good. The designer picked the location, and I liked the look of the spot, but thanks to the surrounding buildings and the passing clouds, I wound up having to rush more than I'd have liked. The light was almost too bright when we started, but towards the end I kept having to shoot fast and move around to beat the shadows creeping up towards the bottom of the frame. Normally, I could work around that really easily, but they needed at least a few shots of each outfit framed a certain way for their website, so I was fairly restricted on how I could compose my shots. :/
On the plus side, everyone on the shoot was completely relaxed and cool, and the designer brought us all Saint Cupcakes! (nomnomnom) And, I also got to pick out two completely awesome dresses from her stock. :D I apparently saved her ass by being able to shoot this stuff so soon, so she's also making me a reallycute skirt from her new Fall line. AND, because I'm a bit smaller and her sizes run a bit bigger than normal, I can wear a size MEDIUM in her clothes! Hahaha, vanity sizing FTW. ;)
I biffed around with Boy for most of yesterday, which was nice, because we've had almost zero time for that as of late. We went to Fry's to get some parts for photo server upgrades, and caught a matinee of District 9, which I didn't know much about going in, but I enjoyed it.
I also wanted to go to the Farmer's Market up the street, and Boy talked me into walking up there. We came back with some summer squashes, red chard, and a 1/2 flat of *really* yummy strawberries that are now happily stored in my freezer. I think I'm going to hit up the Downtown Farmer's Market on Wednesday, too, and try to score some good deals on grass-fed beef and organic meats. Now that I haven't been so strapped, I'm hoping to make my shopping habits more locally-oriented and socially-responsible.
This week is looking less full, which is a good thing, since I head off to PAX on Friday morning! Holy crap, it's almost heeeere!
