I can't imagine that you would be excited to read about what I tried to do with film thirty years ago. Or what my professor said about my unspotted prints. Or the time a girlfriend complained that my photo of her made her look fat...
I can only write about a subject if I do it. Hands on. And I can only write honestly about the subject if I stay engaged with it. Otherwise? It's just a job...
The right balance? One day for clients, the next day split in half between my personal shooting and processing. And writing about it all.
Funny how a career all goes in a circle. In years past, around the end of year holidays, I'd be looking around for a fun new camera to pick up for myself. This year all I seem to care about is lights and lighting. The stuff nobody seems to be talking about anymore...
Oh yeah. I just bought one more of those Compact LED panels. So much fun. But...can't wear them out on the street....
Just got my package from B&H in time for tomorrow's shoot. Enclosed? A quick, pop up circular soft box made specifically for the Nanlite Compac 100, and an "egg crate" grid for use on the other Nanlite 100. Both well designed and constructed. Can't wait to use them.
ReplyDeleteStories from the trenches are always the best! Much better than going to the legion and having to listen to the same old tired war stories from someone who was barely there. Keep it up Kirk!
