Working at the newspaper had, uh, stressfull moments, to say the least.  However, little did I know how stressfull working for myself could be at times as well.  Here is what I’m in the middle of.  I am in Michigan to shoot for a client that needs their photos taken in the snow.  We have a bit of snow here, but also 30mph winds and looking for a high of maybe 10 degrees, before you add in the wind chill.  I’m also looking to be shooting for another client that has some clothing that needs to be shot like, yesterday…  OK, in a hurry anyhow.  Unfortunately, their clothing was shipped to my Kentucky farm, not the Indiana home.  So now that package is working it’s way from KY to MI.   Apparently KY doesn’t offer overnight shipping from all places.  Who knew?  OK, so maybe it’s somewhat understandable.   

So to top off this, I have a Pocket Wizard that’s been acting up so I ordered a new one and had it shipped to me here in MI.  All’s well except that the package has to be signed for.  They offered me an arrival time of 12/10/2009, between the hurs of 8am and 7pm.  How helpful is that?  I tried to get it changed to no sig required, but that can’t happen till after the first delivery attempt has been made…WHAT???

Alright, so now I have to get to the farm in KY to get some work done there, I also have a friend that has killed a decent deer in IA earlier in the week and since I couldn’t make it there for photos then, has frozen the deer in position for photos. 

Did I mention that I have to be in Galen, IL for a wedding this coming Friday?  ATA in Columbus, OH in  like 3 weeks, SHOT in Vegas in 4.  I need more time!

Have a great Christmas and New Years!
