"I turn my camera on..."

So here I am again! blogging twice in one week! How exciting?!?

I did come out with some good photos from the wedding, and I am content. It was such an extremely STRESSFUL day, due to me not being prepared. My battery died and I was forced to go on an unwanted adventure to fix the problem. Long story, a detour and many tears later I make my way back to the hotel after 2 hours of craziness. From there on it was breezy and fine. : ) I worked fast and I think with working in Manual all day I did a pretty good job! Although, I definitely dont see any more weddings in the future. (other than the one Ive already agreed to do in October, this was before I did this one so Im committed to it.) I'll just shut up and show a little sneaky...

I didnt go to the reception because I was just SO exhausted and I didnt have an off camera flash for the lighting. I cant stand to use the on camera flash, I absolutely hate photos with a brightened subject and a completely black background. SO I came home, ate dinner and sacked out. : ) It was an energy sucking day but Im glad I had the experience because I have come to learn that I am NOT a wedding photographer.

So about today's title, Im loving this song right now by Spoon. I saw some weird Youtube video of a yellow sponge dancing to it and stumbled upon the song again tonight trying to remember where I had heard it before. LOVE LOVE the rich colors in the video too! Anyway, checkit out...I could listen to it all day long, so makes me wanna get up and bust a move:

Okay, Im off to get some rest. Have LOTS of things I need to do tomorrow, including a much needed trip to the LSS!

Ciao for now. : )

Okay, I need to hire you to shoot some really cute kids! Who you say? Well, my grandchildren of course. I'll catch you at RR. You do a great job and have a great eye. Now, you just need to learn this one trick----just breathe! And now you can pat yourself on the back and we'll do it for you also! Pat! Pat!
