Someone is feeling better

Someone is feeling better

Eh. It could be the exhaustion that's causing this...

FOUND IT!!! wow

[Chris Dana]

Bookmarked. Thanks for digging that up, Leesa.

[sidx001]

thanks Lisa!

[LeesaB]

no problem guys,I really should save it..it's a great thread with a ton of advice...

make sure you add your images to it!

[Kathy H]

Hello again people.

I am working on a senior girl right now so I should have some images up before too long.

James 400 shots for the customer means about 600 for the photographer! LOL Remember you have to have some culls! :D Congrats on that though, that's really great!

[sidx001]

Will do. Well, I'm off to get some much needed beauty rest...

Lisa, I'm glad the temp in St Louis has dropped, it hasn't here! it's still 90+ degrees although the humidity has dropped to 60% finally.

ttfn

[sidx001]

Thanks Kathy, for me there will be at least 600! Have a great night all!

[LeesaB]

Oh and James...remember at least the 1st few shots will not be that good till you make her comfortable...I never count those first few shots till I get them to laugh and relax...

My next E session, the guy is wound so tight, I am already working out my game plan for him!

[Kathy H]

Good night James.

Chris I just looked at your blog again because you cat makes me smile as much as mine do. I see you have 5 comments on your latest Kanu entry, see you are getting a following.....you and that cat might be famous someday!:D

Do like that one guy said and tell them to relax then say this is nothing, I shoot porn too! :shock: That should put them in the mood! LOL

[LeesaB]

Ha I forgot about that...

I will try to use that.

How you feeling Kathy?

[Chris Dana]

Good night James.

Eh, most of those people are from facebook. I haven't broken out into the "real" interweb yet.

The photographer I work for did our e-session and wedding. I thought she was going to kill me a couple of times because I don't really do a decent smile on command.

Bring a baseball bat. Tell him that if he doesn't relax, you'll make him relax.

[LeesaB]

LOL, I think we will be fine, just got to get him to relax a bit....ok a lot, he's a major store manager and wow, does he wear it...I've not really seen him smile much, hmmm....if ever but we are the ones to do it!

[kja]

Boy, my multi-million dollar dog is sure earning her name LOL Just got back from the vet, but hopefully this will help us knock it on the head.

We once had a 3 grand vet bill for a severely constipated cat. That was fun.

[kja]

Chris - I love the blog!!! Great cat, great writing, great sense of humour. Love it!

[Chris Dana]

Thanks, Kristin. I need to get in the habit of posting more often. The problem is I don't want it to only be for the cat; I want to be able to show my other photos as well.

[Kathy H]

Chris would it make you feel any better if I said I loved your texture photos on the blog too? I honestly did! But I think a texture on the cat would be nice too! j/k

Kristin what is wrong with the dog?

Lisa, I feel fine, just pouting a bit because I don't like being "LAME" :)

[Kathy H]

Addition to my last post:

I liked the whole idea of surgery a lot better when it was going to happen to Chris, NOT ME! Sorry Chris:)

[Chris Dana]

I appreciate that, Kathy. I'll have to figure out something to texture the cat with.

[LeesaB]

we could ask Chris to just do this for you...

You think for sure surgery or maybe exercise? bone on bone huh...probably surgery, or it will just get worse, when do you think..this winter?

Gosh, I know when I had my gall bladder out I was HORRIBLE

Hmmmm (pondering)

What would I do if my cat was constipated? Let me see.


I'd probably jump for joy. I really get tired of cleaning the stupid litter box. Of course, after a few days, she'd probably explode. That would be the second celebration.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:;)

[Chris Dana]

Insert cheesy 1000th post here.

You'd go from cleaning up the litter box to cleaning up vomit, Tom. Pick your poison. :p

[LeesaB]

Tom, get one of those automatic things...

Chris...Congrats on the 1K !!!!!:D:D:D

[kja]

Kristin what is wrong with the dog?

She's got ongoing infections in her ears and on her skin due to allergies. It's kind of like hayfever. Things are pretty good right now and so we're going to try a spin on the usual treatment to see if we can't kick this over and maybe prevent worse attacks. Worth a shot, anyway.

You'd go from cleaning up the litter box to cleaning up vomit, Tom. Pick your poison. :p
Litter box, for sure. Kitty vomit is too gross...and the stuff from my cats always has lizard parts in it :D

[Chris Dana]

Good thing you're on the other side of the planet. I'd hate it if your cat tried to eat the iguana after she's born. :p

[kja]

Hehehe :D

[Kathy H]

Ewwwwwwwwww kitty vomit with lizard parts! That's a nice bed time thought! LOL

Good night all!:)

[Kathy H]

One more thing....Kristin I am glad you had a good holiday and made it home safely. Your presence was missed here, I'm glad you're back.:D

[Belmondo]

One more thing....Kristin I am glad you had a good holiday and made it home safely. Your presence was missed here, I'm glad you're back.:DOur cat has taken to eating the fringe off our Karastan rugs. She then poops them sometime later along with her regular business.Usually the string remains, hanging an inch or two out of her rectum. I have to get a tissue and pull it the rest of the way.

Don't wonder why I don't care if this cat explodes or not.

[kja]

Eeeeewwwww! Nasty, Tom! ROFLMAO - nice visuals we are adding to this thread, for sure :D

Kathy, thanks! It's nice to be back!

Maybe it's a fuse. Light it next time. :lol:

[SuzyView]

Good morning to you all! I've been off lately reading that stupid Twilight book. I'm only done with 1 just now and getting to 2. The young women I am in charge of at church are going nuts over these books and I promised I read them so we'd have something to talk about. :)

I took pictures at bowling yesterday, very boring.

[sidx001]

Greetings all! My goodness but the topics went sideways after I left! I woke up this morning to cats with anal retentive fuses! I need to stay up later :D

[SuzyView]

James, good morning! I'm off to shop. See ya'll later and it's my son's birthday today, so I'll be in and out.

[Derweissehai]

Morning all. Just saying hi. Got a fun day planned. Gonna go take some shots of the jaguars during practice today. Also try and get some work for this month..have a good one. Will check in later.

[Belmondo]

Maybe it's a fuse. Light it next time. :lol:Brilliant, Chris!! I'm now carrying a book of matches with me. I'm a little worried about the methane. I'm not sure if she'll just blow up, or take off like a rocket, shooting flames behind her.

[LeesaB]

Morning all

I crashed last night...kinda glad I missed THIS party LOL Cat butts ewwwww

Not much planned today, but that is ok. Everyone is still sleeping, I just got up...we are lazy here!

Hey Lisa...

You'll have to try some St. Louis BBQ Ribs.



Oh, wait.



I believe they're pork.



Too bad for you!!!:p:p:p:lol::lol::lol:

Seriously....on a scale of 1 to 10, how are you feeling about your new hometown?

I like it here, It is kinda strange not knowing anyone, but yet it's kinda fun.

I miss my daughter a lot, but I guess that is expected. but, my place is with my husband and still growing son! Everything else will work out.

People here are very nice, we've had a few things happen that just made us laugh..I should probably blog about them, maybe that will happen tonight..

I do miss a few things...Giant Eagle Biscotti and Taza's a med. place I love to eat.

I have a lot of work ahead of me...house, business etc those things will keep me busy for a while I hope!

scale of 1-10, probably a 6 or 7 right now!

Ribs...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww LOL

Villa Pizza Omgosh the best!

Provel cheese ICK (what the crap)

[sidx001]

Ok, I just received an interesting phone call. I've been booked to shoot a wedding in October and the bride just called me and asked if I would be willing to shoot the honeymoon?!! She just wants pictures of them during the day (thankgoodness!!) as they go about their vacation and said that they would pay for me to do that...

Has anyone here done that?

No....can't say I have. But jump on it.

[LeesaB]

Never heard of it, but do it! Make sure they pay your way and your expenses...


where is the honeymoon...(hoping for someplace nice)

[Kathy H]

I've never done that either, but it sounds like it could be fun and a source of some great pictures.

Lisa already asked but I'll ask too, where is the honeymoon?

[sidx001]

They are going to Puerto Rico for 10 days. Tammy said that her parents were the ones that came up with the idea and that my expenses would be paid for... I had just never heard of shooting the Honeymoon!

[Kathy H]

Here's a bit of history for you. My best guess is it's about 35 years old. A friend of mine emailed it to me today.

HOW did I miss this? This is great!:D

[Kathy H]

I would be all over that! Not so sure my husband would be overly excited about me spending 10 days in Puerto Rico without him though. hummmmm:)

[LeesaB]

James is going to Puerto Rico WOW WEEEE! Talk to some of the pros about taking equipment over and watching your stuff

Kathy....got a PM coming your way ahhahahahah okay sorry about that LOL

[timbernet]

I would be all over that! Not so sure my husband would be overly excited about me spending 10 days in Puerto Rico without him though. hummmmm:)

I would do it in a heartbeat!!! That is a killer deal!

[timbernet]

Speaking of Honeymoon photos - Mike Fulton and the gang at Tri Coast photography had a funny "commercial" filmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2kAx5nFjLY -- they guarantee the wedding day, just not the wedding night :-D

[LeesaB]

I've seen that video....and a few others they have done. They are great

Kathy, take him with you...just hide him! LOL

[Belmondo]

HOW did I miss this? This is great!:D

Not sure how you missed it. Glad you didn't.

[LeesaB]

anyone around? I'm done doing web cam with baby Ami

[sidx001]

I'm here...kinda quiet today!

[LeesaB]

yeah it is...

I'll be leaving for church in a few hours, now talking again to my daughter on web cam again... Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's uhhhh exhausting..

[LeesaB]

Hey james any good jobs in Springfield? we are trying to get my son in law a job down here so they will move.

[kja]

Howdy, All! I got to sleep for one more whole hour last night...woke up at 2am ready to go instead of 1am :( I hate the transition from US time to Australia time!

Did get a new blog post (http://www.kristinsnews.blogspot.com) up with my trip to San Francisco, so at least I put the time to good use!

What's happening in here today?

[Chris Dana]

Those are some wonderful photos, Kristin. Thanks so much for sharing them. I've only been to SF once, and that was a very quick trip (one evening), so the scenery was really a blur.

[LeesaB]

Kristin Omgosh I loved the blog!!

I have a new blog also

www.movin2missouri.blogspot.com (http://www.movin2missouri.blogspot.com)

I will try to update every night while I am here...

[kja]

Thanks, Chris! I was just happy snapping away this trip. Originally I was going to take the time to really work on some photo skills, but once there and with all that was going on, I just decided to not get too serious. I'm happy with some of them for what they are :)

Lisa - thanks! I really need to get my butt in gear and get some more stuff up from the trip. Love your new one...great to see what's happening.

Can't believe your fuel was only $2.58 - we are still hovering just under $8 here and it's killing us.

[LeesaB]

I was amazed at how much you pay for gas there... and that's a liter right?

I'm sure we will be there one day too, with Iran holding us hostage I am very sure we will soon be in big trouble once Israel goes in and destroys them

[Chris Dana]

I got my expodisc today and a couple more CF cards. It took me longer to thread the little string through the hole on the Expodisc than it did for me to order the darn thing.

[kja]

We're at just under $2/litre right now, so just under $8/gallon. And while I saw prices drop at the pump while in the States over the past couple of weeks, we here in rural Australia have not seen a drop at all - which is just plain wrong, imho.

Cool on the expodic, Chris!

I was in a weird state while in the US - just didn't feel like shopping so didn't pick up the FlipIt, the Tokina 10-17, tripod or much of anything else that was on my list so now I get to pay shipping. Stupid, really, but oh well.

[LeesaB]

I hear you Chris, I bought a hand strap and Tom had to send me directions to figure it out.

Btw: I LOVE IT! now!

Yeah even the canadians by from us now, we're headed to a third world nation...

[Chris Dana]

I know it'll be helpful. at least the first shots I took were a little cooler than I like (at least on the LCD), that's no big deal, really.

[LeesaB]

Chris, sometimes it's just fun to have new equipment and play,....

Have fun and enjoy!

[Kathy H]

Good afternoon people!

Thought I would pop in real quick and see what's happening before I go cook dinner.

Kristin the blog is GREAT! I especially LOVED the San Francisco parts, that's my old stomping grounds.:D I nearly cried when I saw The Cliff House! We used to spend many weekends down there, there used to be a boardwalk, midway with rides and a FANTASTIC old Fun House. The images you took of that area brought back many happy memories for me. Thanks for sharing!

Chris got new toys! Pose the cat with them.:)

Lisa are you going to some cool church and take photos or are you going to a church service?

I told you, sign that son-in-law up to work at Costco.....They pay GREAT and have AWESOME benefits!

[Kathy H]

That's funny! :lol: I have seen a few of their videos but not that one.

[kja]

Kathy - thanks for the kind words :) I don't remember all of that at the Cliff House, but Louis' is still there and I do remember it as being far funkier than the rather spartan look it has now. Ahhh, progress. But it's a beautiful part of the city, for sure.

[Kathy H]

It was called Playland at The Beach and was torn down in 1972. My dad took a lot of photographs there, I'll have to dig those out one day soon.:D

[Belmondo]

I loved the San Francisco shots, Kristin. I bet I could tell you within 5 ft just where all those shots were taken. The Cliff house is a pretty good place to eat. Surprisingly, a lot of locals eat there.....it's not all tourists. They make a sensational Bloody Mary there.

We're heading up to Reno for the weekend, so I hope I'll have some photos to post this weekend. I'm not sure how much room I'll have for camera equipment in the car, but by golly, I'm going to take something.

Lois says she's going to 'pack lightly.' Translation: "Instead of one large suitcase and 27 smaller pieces of luggage, I'll be taking one medium sized suitcase and 27 smaller pieces of luggage." It might be the difference between taking a 40D with the 24-105 instead of just the G9.

[kja]

Wow, no wonder I don't know it - I didn't even go there until the early 80s for the first time! Shame, it's a cool area.

Isn't it fun to walk down memory lane? One of the things that pissed me off about my computer death was that I had just finished scanning over 100 old family photos an hour before (computer was working flawlessly, I even commented on how well it was running!) and I lost those as I was in a hurry to get out the door so didn't back 'em up to the ColorspaceO.

Oops!

[kja]

Tom - I know a lot of locals still eat at Louis' a few steps up the road, but didn't realise a lot ate at the Cliff House...might have to remember that!

Have fun in Reno :)

[Belmondo]

Tom - I know a lot of locals still eat at Louis' a few steps up the road, but didn't realise a lot ate at the Cliff House...might have to remember that!

Have fun in Reno :)

Thanks. We'll probably stay in San Mateo on our way home. I'll wave at your mom.

[kja]

Hehe, I spent more time in Palo Alto than usual this trip, but it was good.

Went to the big camera store one day...kinda fun to see all that stuff in one place.

Ate out a lot, of course.

[kja]

Yup, that's the one...I can never remember the name of it LOL

[Chris Dana]

We just got back from the tour of the iguana hatchery and I realized that along with packing the bag for my wife, I have to keep the camera bag packed at all times. :lol:

[kja]

Hehe - good to be prepared!

[LeesaB]

Hi everyone...

Kathy I told my husband i would go with him to find a church, so, we in all of our wisdom (ha ha ha) are trying to pick a church. Some of these places are amazing and large. The one I like the best has 5k members... amazing

I'm home...well, as home as I can be in Missouri. LOL


Tomorrow busy day, check out a town close to ours for shopping etc. and take our son to school orientation How fun!

[kja]

Wow, that's a lot of members!! We don't have that many people in our TOWN lol

Sounds like you are making the best of the move, Lisa.

[LeesaB]

Well, "it is what it is"

A lot of the churches here are that big.

I just want to get my business going, trying to figure out how to do it, if I can be a foreign business or do I have to get another LLC, taxes etc. not sure.

So...I just keep picking away at it

[kja]

That's all you can do - you'll get there, but what a pain!

[Kathy H]

We just had a huge storm come through! WOW!

Thunder, lightning, and a rainstorm with drops as big as golf balls! It was soooooooo cool. Now it smells like summer rain, I love that smell!

Power went out for about 20 minutes so we just sat outside and watched the storm.

[LeesaB]

The storms are amazing here, I caught my first lightening strike,I'll post on my missouri blog tonight, it's not that impressive but, it is my first one! Just wait.

We just stood outside and watched the storm roll past us. It was amazing. The skys here are very beautiful also.

[Kathy H]

You know Lisa, I still have not gotten to talk to my daughter. She calls and leaves messages, but I never catch her. Her last message was that she bought a new laptop, a mac, on tax free day.

Hopefully I'll actually get to talk to her soon.

[LeesaB]

Keep trying, we'll be going back to the galleria for pizza at least one more time.

I try to pay attention so I can do it myself ahhahahahhaha

Ok, I just updated the blog, I need to get these pics to go last not first I'll work on that tomorrow LOL

[LeesaB]

Night all

Long day tomorrow

[Belmondo]

Night all

Long day tomorrow

You have no idea. We have a 650-mile drive to Reno facing us in the morning.


.......and I'm already tired.

I saw that on the weather map! I agree, the smell of summer rain and a good thunderstorm is amazing!

[kja]

ROFL I don't know if you guys have seen this blog, but you gotta go look - I'm sucked in and can't stop now!

Here's a link (http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/07/freud-would-have-field-day.html)to a wedding related post but you've gotta scroll through the whole thing, there are some that will make you cry laughing!

[Derweissehai]

Morning all. Hope everyone has a great day. Should be here all day, and be sure to tip your waitress.

[kja]

HI :)

Well, Thursday is kinda hectic, then kinda slow and very tiring - just so you all know what you're getting into :D

I'm struggling to stay awake for at least another hour or so coz I want to force myself back onto a real schedule - this being up and working at 2am after four hours of sleep has got to stop!

[Chris Dana]

I saw that blog a couple of weeks ago, Kristin. It's pretty amusing what people do with cakes.

[kja]

Hehee, I haven't laughed that hard in ages..a great way to waste away a few minutes for sure. Some people are just insane!

[SuzyView]

Hi all! Speaking of cakes, I made my chocolate fudge cake last night and it was delicious! I think I'll be eating it all week. :) Bad mommy!

We went to Olive Garden last night and our son's birthday dinner there. Everyone behaved and the food was filling. We took 1/2 of it home. Next to our table a boy had his birthday as well and his parents had a dslr taking tons of pictures and I laughed. I left my camera home and didn't bother as my family gets too embarrassed now.

Sens me a slice...mmmmmm cake.

[Kathy H]

Suzie my family begs me to leave the camera in the trunk when we go anywhere "inside" public. They can deal with it for awhile if we are outside somewhere but have also told me that it's "embarrasing" sometimes and they feel like hiding from me! LOL

Good morning all!

Huge thunder & lightning storm going on and I am shutting down the computer for a bit.

See ya later.....YIKES!

See I knew I was right. Boy the photos I have for blackmail later on are gonna be good ones.......lol

Also here's a photo I did awhile back and edited in LR2 lat night

[SuzyView]

That's a beautiful shot!

[Derweissehai]

That's a beautiful shot!

Thank you. And yet no ones wants to hire me. Their loss. LOL

[LeesaB]

okay went to check out my sons new school...way cool...oh and it's OLD..so they are building a new one due to be finished next year

Oh and old is...15 years WTC LOL

More work to do..

I filled out a request to send flyers home with students and put 4x6 cards on the desk in office. So I need to design a cute flyer to send home! yeah...

I was thinking two things.

There's a new girl in town....

OR

I may be new, but I'm not new to photography..

any other ideas...I'm SO NOT GOOD at this....

[kja]

Wow, quiet in here!

That's a beautiful shot! Was it for your portfolio, fun, client? Very pretty, for sure!

[LeesaB]

I'll be back later, going to throw balls at my son (baseballs )

then to get some groceries

How about this...

The New Girl In Town.....

FRESH

HOT

MODERN

CURRENT STYLES

W/Traditional knowledge and experience

WELCOME:

CREATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY

blah blah blah....

[kja]

I don't like "current styles" but otherwise it's sounding like a good track to take. Might be easy to slip into cheesy so you'll need to watch that, but it sure has the potential to be bright, fun and outgoing!

Wow, quiet in here!

That's a beautiful shot! Was it for your portfolio, fun, client? Very pretty, for sure!
Were you talking to me? If so it was for the both of us and yes a client.

[kja]

Yep, to you ;) Very pretty model, too.

[Derweissehai]

Thank you very much. Can't wait on her to come back down. I need to get shoots like that.

[SuzyView]

I just did the dishes and it's hot. I'm hot and can't get cool. Hope the weather gets better tomorrow.

Hi Adam and Kristin!

[LeesaB]

Hey Suzy...buy one of those personal coolers that you wear on your neck. I have one but have not used it YET!

Got it off of QVC I think...

Kristin, what is I take styles off and just use Current, hot, fresh, modern any other adjects you can think of?

[kja]

Hey, Suzy, long time no see!

Hmm, Lisa...what market are you going for? I like adjectives :)

[LeesaB]

Kristin

These will be 8x10 flyers handed out to juniors and seniors at local high schools in Missouri, since I'm new in town I wanted to make something like a new girl in town, like a new classmate etc.

[kja]

Ah cool, for high schoolers! Do you think "modern" works for that? I guess as a high schooler I would have thought "modern" being mentioned more like some stodgy old guy trying to be cool...but that could just be me!

[LeesaB]

I don't know any hip cool sayings or adjectives besides Emo LOL or grunge

not sure that would work in this spectrum LOL

I also would love to write a bit about how we shoot, outdoors and how we feel about it. etc.

[Derweissehai]

Hey guys and GALS. Been in and out most of the day. Here are a few from yesterday.

The snake I didn't even see until I was editing tonight. DOn't know what kind it is. But it sure is green. Look close enough and you'll see what it's going after.

[kja]

Maybe just let your images work for you and stick with something very simple like your New Girl in Town phrase? Then have a little blurb about valuing individual looks, not just your average senior portrait etc...

[LeesaB]

Nice shots Adam, wow that is a green snake. :-)

I did not see what it was going after or if I did, I had no idea what I was looking at.

Ahh good point! I may do that...I can't do anything perminent till I get back to my Mac. But I am going to get it all ready to go...so when I get home, I can get busy!

[kja]

Nice shots, Adam! Almost gives me the push I need to get out and shoot something again ;)

Lisa - I'm always up in the air for wording with that age group. They seem to be really diverse, but more than that a slight mis-wording and you're tarred for life LOL I dunno - we don't have seniors here so it's tough for me. But simple, classy and high-spirited images with a few well chosen words that aren't trying to be "cool" seems like it should work well.

Thanks Kristin. Just looked it up. It's a rough Green Snake. Non-Poisonous..thank god...my son would have freaked if hey saw it. Got a couple more to upload.

[Derweissehai]

2 more.

My favorite Gator. He likes to pose. This is the second time I have spotted him in the same spot. Oh and some mushrooms on the side of a tree.

[kja]

Love the mushies!!

Gator is cool just laying there...

[LeesaB]

How far away from the gator were you?

[Kathy H]

HI EVERYONE!

This weather today is just crazy! We have been hit by nearly back to back storms all day, since 6am. Thunder, lightning, heavy downpours, & hail. We get about 10 minutes every hour of sultry sunny heat, then black skys again!

Hopefully I get a few minutes on here before the power starts flashing again.

Cool shots Adam, the lady and the nature shots.

Lisa I think I would go with something like....
"Now available in your area" "Senior Portraits done your way"
"Creations Photography" "We Shoot to please YOU"

or some nonsense like that :D Okay I'm nuts:p

[Kathy H]

I forgot to add to the above.....

Lisa don't tell them you're HOT ! They'll be wanting to date you! :lol:




Did you miss me?:p

[LeesaB]

Hey I just sent you a PM hahahah

Wondered where you had been!

I've got to blog yet tonight..no pics just a blog of words,

[LeesaB]

Lisa don't tell them you're HOT ! They'll be wanting to date you! :lol:

Belmondo the town, or Belmondo the mod?

Is there a town called Belmondo?

I'll ask Jean-Paul Belmondo.

[Maureen Souza]

The Mod.......;)

[Derweissehai]

Love the mushies!!

Gator is cool just laying there...

How far away from the gator were you?


Thanks Kristin.

The gator was a good 30 to 40 feet away. I made sure to stay on the bank and use the big lens.

[Chris Dana]

Today's going to be a really hard day.

Two years ago today my father passed. Between that and some other crud that's going on right now, I'm an emotional wreck today.

[LeesaB]

Chris

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that no matter how hard this day is you will find memories to make you smile and laugh also!

And you know if you need us we are always here, ok, well, I am always here LOL

[Bobster]
