But it really doesn't count for much if you don't go back to the office and edit, and then do some color corrections, and then put up a web gallery for your client. And even more importantly, when you get a list of images from your client you really do have to sit back down and do all the post processing you crowed about being an ace at on the shoot day. The retouching, getting the color exactly the way you want it (as opposed to settling for the "correct" way) and then burning the disk you promised your subject.
Otherwise..........
But, once you get into the habit of following thru you start finding yourself getting things done almost unconsciously.
I promised Selena I would take photos of her for her nascent but quickly blossoming career as a singer/performer if she would give me some time as a model for my just finished LED book. She did her part and now I've done mine.
I hear from a lot of models who get burned by photographers. The photographers promise something in exchange for a model's time and energy and then toss a few unprocessed files into an e-mail and walk away. No wonder models don't take photographers as seriously as we'd like to be taken. So, I'm encouraging everyone out there with an uncompleted project to jump to it and get it done. Once you've cleared the decks you've let the universe know that you are ready and able to jump onto the next fun project. And generally the universe delivers. (No 30 minute guarantee. That's just for pizza.)
