The photo shoot last weekend went really well. I still get nervous when I’m shooting things for hire (being utterly humbled over the fact that the client is, in essence, entrusting me with their memories), then I realize that not every single frame is going to be the most awesome thing evah. I should have remembered that from photography classes in college. We’d have to shoot one 36 exposure roll of film for every print that we turned in. So, if 3 prints were due for the assignment, we had to shoot 3 rolls of film. Maybe more.

With that in mind, getting 15 decent shots out of about 100 isn’t bad.

_I’m 25 yrs 11 mos today. I say this because at my orthodontist’s office, there’s a laptop at each station so that the person working on the patient’s teeth can update the medical chart. So, whenever I go, there’s the inevitable period of waiting for the doctor to get to my station to check my wires (or to apply a new bracket because the assistant accidentally snapped the old one off my tooth while trying to force too high a gauge of wire into it), looking up at the polka-dotted light fixture or at the screen to my left, and then I notice my age. It’s always listed in years and months.

_Finally got a professional freelance opportunity. Yay! for patience. Let’s hope they like my designs.
