Photographing

Sorry to the regular readers, which is usually Fred, who checks my blog at about 7:39am everyday. I am sure he probably has a regular morning routing like I do. I get up 1/2 hour before I need to, shower, brush teeth, put in contacts, put on deodorant and then hop on the internet to check my sales for the night. I usually skip CanStock and 123RF because of their slow sales. I never check Fotolia unless I get an email about a sale. I start with BigStock, Dreams, iStock and finally Shutterstock. I'll add sales to my spreadsheet and then move on to Facebook, emails, Twitter and finally my.yahoo.com to check the news and blogs of the day. By then it's time to iron a shirt, get dressed, get the girls ready and go. When I get home, the same routine, except I'll check CanStock and 123RF at that point. And for those of you who chat with me on Facebook, I usually have multiple tabs open, and one is usually Facebook, so it may look like I spend all day on their, but I am actually doing something else.

Today I am off from work. I am actually about to clean off the porch, then I will try setting up the lights out there and get some self portraits. I have the back door cracked a bit, since the weather is warmer outside then in. The kids are out playing in some old flower pots and the cat is even trying to muster up some courage to step out there. Then I might start packing some boxes.

Watched "The Time Traveler's Wife" last night and I enjoyed it. It was a rental from Netflix so it didn't have the bonus features. When I really enjoy a film, I usually watch the features it comes with, but lately I have been getting a lot of rental discs that only have the movies.

Job Opening I heard about on facebook "Writer and a photographer, but writing primarily and perhaps do a bit of media escort here in sunny Iraq for 6 months or a year. They get a 70% pay increase and three two week breaks (for the 1 year gig). Um, they can have all the food they can eat, a free clean bed, free laundry service, a front seat to history...tell me what else...their own desk, free internet...hmm I can be reached at martin.downie@us.army.mi"


I would be tempted if I didn't have family. 


Going to help shoot some b-roll for the movie tonight, and help set up lighting for the shots tomorrow, so the actors won't be standing around bored while waiting for us to get ready. 


New Recipe Tuesday was cancelled this week, and rumor has it that it may be cancelled all together. Which I don't like, because not only do I look forward to it, but the people I talk to at work look forward to hearing the tale of the Tuesday meal. 


Well, going to get started. I may post a pic here later if I get one I like, or else it'll wait till tomorrow.
