Photography

Happy Labor Day everyone! It was a beautiful weekend, although on Monday I was creamed in tennis, chastised by my partner for not blogging enough about photography (and too much on my driving habits) and spent most of my day worrying about the Bay Bridge still being closed on my way in to work on Tuesday. But hey, the burgers were good and I may have had one or five beers to go along with the whole BBQ theme.

I’ll get to the photography part in a minute, but first I was wondering if there is anyone on the planet who does not have the Bob Marley album Legend? That seems to be the only reggae you ever hear on the radio, or anywhere else, and I wonder if any stores actually sell it anymore, since everyone must already have it.

Alright, photography. Photography, photography, photography. I was just emailed my shot list for our shoot this week, and it kinda makes me feel good that someone was working on Labor Day. Somehow I have lost touch with the entire purpose of Labor Day, and while I know its purpose is not to go to work, but to have the day off, somehow it seems right that someone out there is working today, and I have been reminded of it.

Anyway, it looks like a full week of shooting chubby nutcrackers, holiday cocoa and marzipan stollen. Although I’ve been doing this for 20 years, shooting holiday advertising in Summer and Fall combined with the fact that the San Francisco Bay Area really has no seasons, always turns my world upside down. I never know what season it is, and therefore can never remember from one year to the next any significant events in any particular season. This has the effect of making me look like a complete stoner (which I’m not, by the way).

Anyway, where was I?

That’s all I’ve got for now! Did I write enough about photography?
