What Smena Saw

I am at odds: this blog started of silly but really isn't even though the title implies it is. I really believe most of the people on toycamera.com find me annoying, I am so not focused on school, this book thing seems pretty dicey being that I don't care for promotion and Alan seems all about promotion (And by the way, it isn't bad that he cares about promotion. It's just that I don't care and that's a problem.), this gallery show coming up is cool but why haven't I told anyone on toycamera.com. There is just so much that doesn't make sense plus I'm a bit wired because some how I managed to let Andy talk me into my second early morning mug of java. I need some Stones, a long road and a week. I need to get out a here.

Easter update: I did my first paid gig today. I shot my friend Carmel's daughter. I shot four rolls of Fuji 400 35mm, one roll off TMAX 400 120, a pack TimeZero and a pack of Spectra 1200. I can do this. I can make a living if I'm willing to wear all the hats. More about what that means later.


Day after Easter: I'm tired and hungry. I have to go to the lady about money which leads me to this:
1) Always get the money up front or at least agree on the number. I need to got this lady and tell her how much I spent on film and how much processing will cost which won't even include the prints she may want.
2) It's good to shoot them where they want to be seen but get them to move around abit more.
3) Remember the lessons of seeing: the tree behind us, her pink tennies but also the rip in her stockings.
4) They hired you, be incharge.
5) If they invite you to dinner or lunch eat first. They'll be looser and you'll know more.
