I am coming out of my cranky winter funk....(dammit my fingers so badly tried to write fuck instead of funk!![:D])
Work sucks...the work part, the people are okay, the pay isn't increasing anytime soon but my cost of living sure is.
GD and I usually carpool and one night a couple weeks ago he was driving and hit a deer, totaling the best winter driving car EVER. I hate driving the 4wheel drive truck on icy roads but of course, since we wrecked the car, we got ice. I did a SPLENDID 180 on the freeway, sliding the truck into the ditch with a huge whoosh and cloud of snow. (I was being a bit hasty in going from 4 wheel to 2 wheel and driving a bit fast, black ice and whoosh) Fortunately I was able to switch back into 4 wheel and drive right back out with zero damage to the truck. I cannot say the same for GD's undies.
My daughter just found out she is having another girl.......YAY!!! And not going to have more......double YAY!!!
My son is being less of an asshole (my kids really are too much like their mother) and put new tires on my zoom zoom M3 so I can drive it instead of the truck......for FREE! His way of saying he is sorry for being an asshole...
Now for the faaabulous news. My photography has always been a hobby. I occasionally sell prints. Most of those that sell, are artsy nature shots. Stuff I enjoy and don't really care whether other people love them or not. I just sort of fell into selling a few prints here and there. Nothing to retire on for sure. Portrait work, I have always done who I want, when I want and that usually means family. Several years ago, I began giving them as gifts occasionally. Even did a few really fun, multi dimensional collages as gifts. Since I found a good company to have quality prints done, I did some large prints and had them framed as gifts.
Well! Someone saw some of them, inquired, and wanted to know if I would do photos of their son. I was apprehensive but said I would give it a try. No interiour shots as I do not have proper lighting and studio. It was SO MUCH FUN!! We spent several hour wandering around the town, looking for good back grounds, trudging through snow, laughing...it was a blast. The best part.........the photos, some of them....AWESOME! The teenager loved them, the parents loved them, and..... they even all agreed on some. Because I was unsure of the outcome, I did not charge for my time, I only marked up the prints a little, to pay for my gas. Now.......other people are seeing those photos and asking about me.
Apparently I might be doing some portrait work for people! For actual money!
