just movin' crap, sweepin' crap, moppin' crap, overall cleaning. the apartment looks nice now...and a bit barren. really need to get some furniture, a sofa and a bookcase. i can do without the nicknacks to clutter the space though.
it has been nice to see an empty room with blank walls. it makes me want to create pieces specific to the wall space. like the stairway up to the bedroom.
we'll see what comes out of that inspiration.

day 069
what sort of jokes can be made about today?
today was a moving day. i ran up to the studio before my mom and Jerry had time to wake up. there i burned a disc of images for Travel + Leisure to hand over to Lola. back to the homestead and grabbing mother and jerry and nicole and off to breakfast.
from breakfast it was just moving shit out one door, to a truck trailer, in another door. this one goes over the balcony, this one can fit up the apartment stairs...unless we pull the fabric off. no still not working....unless we pull this wood brace off. no, still won't work....unless we dismantle it.
wow, great, that worked!
all in all, productive. not so much creatively, but still productive.

day 068
nothing majorly creative. wrapped up shooting in the studio a bit earlier today, so i was able to knock out some file management crap that i have been kneading to dough (hee hee, i made a funny).
i also received a new studio fashion fan in today and played around a bit with that. i wish i had longer hair though, it really would have shown better.
tonight we journeyed out to Springvale Maine to see a NWA wrestling bout. wow, that was amazing on so many levels. the choreography, the showmanship, the flare, the plum smuggling, and best of all the crowd itself.
we decided to create our own wrestling persona's and have a shoot in the empty living room next weekend. So, anyone who reads this and will be in the portland, me area next weekend, let me know if you would like to have your wrestling persona photographed.
oh, and i also dropped of a CD of Emilitsa images to Maine Home + Design. and i worked more of the Lola images for Travel & Leisure.
i leave now.

day 067
good news, found out that a restaurant i shot for 2 years back is being written up in Travel & Leisure and they are submitting some of my shots for the publication.
i also stopped by and spoke with one of the owners of the restaurant and we are going to get together on saturday to talk about possibly shooting some new stuff.
aside from that, there was nothing much else that happened today.
day 066
didn't do shit. really, i didn't do a damn thing. it was great. i split from the studio as quickly as i could, booked it home and did nothing, but eat bad chinese take out and catch up on a week without the lady friend around (i.e., sexy time!). both passed out in bed by a little after 9 pm. it was beautiful.
was just told of a new food friend for tugboat. a gluten free pizza company. this weekend, i shoot pizzas.
oh, and i am sending out my food portfolio to saratoga today for a showing with a potential food editorial/catalog client. positive thoughts.

day 065
only 300 days left in my blog-year!!!!!!
today was fun. we knocked out a good chunk of work in the studio, always a positive thing. the fruit shots were a hit. dinner was great, good company and good laughs and thanks to gregory for picking up the tab.
it is amazing what the effect of having someone tell you "good job". maybe not just someone, but someone that you want an approval from. someone that you hope to earn their respect, or prove that you are worthy of a challenge, etc. just two words can really make a difference. it is amazing to me.
i got that and i immediately felt good about what i had done, then i had an out of body experience and saw myself as a friggin' puppy wagging it's tail because it's master has approved a behavior. then i felt a bit stupid. doesn't matter, i did a "good job".
creatively, it was about the fruit today. they looked amazing. and source was very happy. that is what matters.
