What am i doing?

I realized today i haven't updated my blog for 4 months now.  In all reality i haven't had much to update it with, slow winter months and all.  With that being said I do have some updating to do and some images i need to get done.

So what has been happening?  Well a few months back i did a shoot with Kyle, and got some really great stuff.  In a tragic turn of events my computer crashed...3 times in 2 months.  Somehow the file with all the retouched images of the shoot was the only thing not backed up...honestly i don't even know how that happened because one of the images was by far one of the best i have ever done.  So after the first crash we got things back up and running, then the second crash required a trip to Reno where we reinstalled the OSX leaving me with non of the retouched images.  Well i somehow managed to re-retouch the best image to look 99.9% the same...and then i backed it up lol.  After that the computer crashed again, so yet another trip to Reno, this time they replaced the hard drive.  So now that everything is back up and running i have a lot of catch up to do.

The shoot with Kyle needs to be re-retouched, i have images from shoots I've done with Shelbie that need to be done, some shots of Amanda that have to be finished and other work.  This last Friday i photographed the LHS 2012 graduation, so before i can work on my own stuff those images have to be finished, printed, and mailed off.

So that has been my chaotic photo life, one thing breaking after another.

Personally the shift to moving and a new job has fully begun.  Mallory graduated from Chico a few weeks ago and i have somehow managed to get her partially convinced to move to LA with me.  Next week we are heading down to look at areas we might wanna live, show her the art scene and what LA has to offer, and we might look around at some job locations.  I'm playing with the idea of only booking things out to September, and only because i have a wedding on the 22nd.  I feel October will be a busy month of filling out job applications, and writing cover letters.  Crossing fingers that by next year i'll be living in LA, with a job, and loving every moment of it.

I should have some images to post here soon! Sorry for the long delay.  It's not like when i was in school producing work every week.  For the most part I've been doing head shots and small corporate like jobs, nothing to interesting.  Every now i then i get one of my awesome models (Kyle, Amanda, or Shelbie) to do some work with me,  and eventually this summer I'll be photographing Malloy's sister Tawni for a photo spread.
