rambling because I can't leave the house.
I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately. You'll be pleased to know that I've been incredibly busy with my photography. It'll seem like sometimes I haven't done anything new for a while, but really what's happening is I'm shooting a lot and not doing any post because I either don't have time or I'm too lazy to do it at that moment. I had business cards made about a month ago and I gave all those out so I had 200 more made. I was pretty amazed at how fast they went and how much business actually resulted from them. I bought the moo.com minicards because I felt they were different and I liked that I could put my pictures on them. To me it's like giving out a free sample of my work, which I found over time, really helps many businesses. Everybody loves free samples and giving out a taste of what you have to offer gets people trying something they may not have even thought about before.
I had some sort of allergic reaction on friday that I'm still recovering from. I woke up in the morning covered in hives, which I initially thought were spider bites. My face was slightly puffy, but nothing to complain about really. I went to work and took some clariten for my face and when I came home, I just spent time in bed trying to get better. The morning I woke up and my eyes had swollen almost completely shut and my hives were worse than the day before. I called Vance and had him come into work for me at 6:45 and I was supposed to go in for him at 10:30, but I was thinking the swelling in my eyes would go down by then. I didn't get any better so at 9 I went to urgent care where they told me I was having an allergic reaction to something and now I'm on lots of meds for the next week or so. I'm sure work is pretty upset with me, but when you're sick, you're sick and there's nothing I could have done about that. I think maybe I had an allergic reaction to pickles, but I've never been allergic to them before so who knows. For now I'm just sleeping lots and spending lots of time on my laptop because the meds make me really tired. I feel like I can't get out of bed.
I think I'm going to apply to Art Center and Otis this year. I'm not really nervous about getting accepted, but I'm pretty nervous about the cost. I guess I'll just apply for loans and scholarships and see what happens.
I've done many hours of editing recently and I finally feel caught up. The problem for me is that I'm noticing more and more work that I'm just not proud of anymore. I'm getting to the point that I want a better camera or better quality. I'm working on this though. I just want more for myself, as of late.
I shoot quite a few zivity sets in the last couple months and I have many ready to go up. yay! I just need to submit paperwork and finish uploading today. That's what I've dedicated my day to. So hopefully, sometime in the next couple weeks, I'll have some dates for you guys (marc!).
I haven't been very active with Zivity recently. I check the site everyday, but I feel like a lot of the content is boring so I'm not very inspired to get in there like I was before. I'm looking forward to the new publishing system where the BEST sets get published as "featured" and the rest of the sets will be published as "new." While I do look at most of the sets on Zivity, I generally just browse and when I see a great set, I actually spend time looking at it.
I shouldn't watch anymore tv today. I hate wife swap. there's so many women that I would love to meet face to face. I can't believe how awful some of these people are.
someone email me.
