Workend - May 27th

I meant to write this up last night, buuuuuut after a long couple days and a few drinks, I was out like a light before I could touch a keyboard. It was a good evening giving me the chance to catch up with friends, make new ones, and surprisingly have a very interesting conversation about photography.I enjoy when I meet a person who shares an artistic interest in photography, like I do. Mostly because the people I talk with primarily have experience with film. Having learned photography on digital formats, it's awesome to me to see that there's always similarities in the technique and process regardless of if you're shooting film or digital. Overall, though, it's looking more and more like I'll be doing more photography work on the weekends. Which is nice, I like doing photography, so the more often I can do some AND get paid for it, the better. Right?Today, despite being off the clock for the past 24 hours, I've been starting some planning for our trip to the SEMA show in Las Vegas this year. I'm partially hoping to have a little more personnel on duty so that our media is produced as quickly as possible in the best possible quality. Which, in all reality, is the name of the game. Last year, we came close with a plan that I had in place, so basing things around that, we'll be successful this year.I know, being vague is not the nicest things, but this is stuff that probably should be under an NDA or something, since my process seems to out-perform news outlets and our competition. However, our department wasn't as connected to the rest of the marketing department as it is right now, so I feel this year will be a nice show of effort and strategy on, well, my part. Not to toot my own horn.Tomorrow, after finishing up with the video at church, I'm going to be helping out a local metal-working artist who sets up a booth at craft fairs where he sells his sculptures. To get into bigger and better events he needs to have professional photos of his booth, showing how he lays things out and what it all looks like as if you were walking by it at the show. I imagine that I'll be getting a few shots of his sculptures themselves, too. It's one of those things that I thoroughly enjoy doing: helping someone live their dream by using my talents. It's also why I like photographing local bands. Yeah, the big bands are one thing, but there's something even better about the guys who have scrapped up the last few dollars just to be able to get the right amp to make their performance at the local pub sound just good enough.Monday will be a nice day, though. Both Sarah and I have the day off, which is nice. Note sure what the plan for the day is just yet, but that'll be half the fun in it, right? Just going off on an adventure, anywhere.For now, though, I'm going to try and relax just a little bit, get the camera all ready, and wait for Sarah to get home.
