I know... I've been a very bad blogger....
In all due fairness, however, I am working three jobs now in lue of my up coming trip to Germany!!! One of my new employments is working at JCPenny Portrait Studio's. It has been absolutely amazing! My manager confessed to me that my training was one of the most difficult ways to learn that she has ever seen. I had to learn the fast and hard way because, that's just how it went! I had shoots with maternity, twins, families of 12, 4 boys under the age of 6, fiesty 2 year olds, relentless toddlers, frustrated teens, odd couples and courageous survivors.
As a result of learning how to take posed portraits rather than casual candids, pardon the alliteration, my brain has been non-stop. I find myself looking at random individuals and thinking: "They would be great to photograph" or, "the way the light is hitting that baby... GORGEOUS!" or my favorite... "That would look great in a 10X10!!"
::Sigh:: I find myself doodling a lot more now and surfing the web for ideas and inspirtation. I hope I get to put them to use in the near future!
It has been a while that I have looked forward to spending 10 hours a day on my knees making kids and grown ups alike laugh :) What a tough job!!
