man, i swear, this has been the crazy-busiest last month of my life. that's a good thing, but i feel bad because i can't get the work turned around and back to the clients as fast as usual, which is really tough when we're dealing with events since people understandably really want to see the shots. but it's wrapping up now and now i've got my secret weapon (photoshop wiz trevor) in place to help me out. working on Kathy's wedding right now, and am going to be putting up a big ol' chunk of photos in an hour or so, but have an early wake up tomorrow for another all-day charity event. just for my own bearings... within the last month i have been on a mini-roadtrip with KA and Buster, had a show opening with giant photo canvases (still need to post photos of that), mini-reunion with Rob and Paul, walked around downtown galleries with Paul's dad talking about his invention which involves energy generated from magnetic discs, shot a huge hoedown surprise bday party which had crazy scenes at the end, shot a great barmitzvah with Rob, did a solid week of studio shooting for a travel accessories company, a related model shoot in SF, went to a skateboarding demo tour, met the grandnephew of the last czar of Russia who is a shrinky-dink artist, finally made it to the famous piano bar in Oakland "The Alley" with legend Rod Dibble, testified at my neighbor's sentencing on his behalf (he still wound up in prison), and I know I did more nice little stuff too that I'm forgetting, but oh well. to recap, lots of friends, lots of work (personal and commercial), lots of parties, some good dates with michelle, lots of good conversations. now i feel full from all this good living and just want to lay down for a while. but not yet.
