Thank God for backups.  The new 2.6.3 version of Wordpress was giving me issues uploading files so I tossed it in the trash.  Grrrr!

Now I really don’t feel like saying much.  Must lay down.

I better hurry up and post before I forget and crash under some warm and cuddly covers.  I haven’t even had time to process any photos from the shoot on Saturday.  I know my way around Photoshop pretty well but Lightroom is new to me.  I’m soliciting help all over the place (help!) and I’m having nightmares that I’ll use up all my space because I have three copies of every image I take.  All due to my lack of organization of course.

The to-do list is long and pretty important:

• enroll for benefits at work
• update Wordpress….again
• make some changes to this template
• finish the alphabet project already
• really clean up/throw away/organize stuff in this office
• take decent photos of our home to show to all of you kind, patient souls out there (I haven’t forgotten, just been swamped)
• do my back exercises (I have been slacking so hard on my daily exercises that I am about to reschedule my follow up appointment.  bad girl, bad)

P.S.
Thank you for your comments, I love it when you de-lurk.

It was a little chilly out yesterday but I picked up my friend Jay and we were on our way to Morrison.  The owner of this antique shop out there let myself and about eight other photographers run around and shoot her store.

While out there, the same thing that has been happening happened again.  My cam bag started hurting my back and it is cumbersome too.  I’ve been on the look out for a new one with no luck.  There aren’t any camera shops selling the kind of bag I’m looking for.  Right now I have a smaller backpack style Lowepro bag and ever since I upgraded to my 40D, it’s overstuffed.  My dream bag would be one that’s more like a messenger bag so I’ll have easy access to my lenses.  Here’s a bag at Fossil but it’s not technically a camera bag.  Wishful thinking.  After doing more research on the Shootsac, I think I’m going to pass right now.  Maybe in the future I’ll get that, but it’s not meant to be a camera bag, just something you use while you are shooting.

Domke - cute and the style I’m looking for.
Kata - might have to look into these styles a little more as well.
Tenba - just found this bag on YouTube, looks like it may be a winner.  So much for the messenger bag idea.  Just found out it’s being sold at eBags.  I will be checking out bags tomorrow!

So the search continues.

This is short and sweet.  I’m going to be out all day today going to an antique store photography meet up in Morrison.  Then later on we have plans to go to the new Comedy Works!  Our friend Dave won twenty free tickets so we get to go.  Should be fun, I’ve never been before.

Have an awesome Saturday!

Man was I having a bad day until about four hours ago.

It snowed today, right after I did my hair all cute and curly.  Due the snow and cold weather I had to cancel my shoot.  No corn dogs at Safeway when I was craving one big time.  The list goes on and on.

Then my day turned around.  I just got back from meeting an awesome group of photographers.  We met out in Boulder which is about an hour away from me but it was SO worth it.  I love meeting new people with the same interests.  It’s cool and dangerous because we pretty much had to be kicked out of California Pizza Kitchen tonight.

Very worth it.

P.S.
Husbands are great because when your day is craptacular, they humor you by running outside and letting you shoot a few shots right before sunset.  Thank you baby, I needed that.
