shooting.

something i've really been struggling through as of late is how much i DON'T shoot anymore. i mean sure, i take photos of the cat in his new surroundings. i take a lot of photos with my iphone, who doesn't. but i don't shoot what i'm inspired to shoot anymore. part of me understands this as a transition time (it's been 8 months, am i still in transition mode?), but i also know i didn't move out here JUST to tech or work for a company. don't misunderstand me, i'm very happy working at splashlight and the opportunity and training it has to offer, but that by no means means i can't shoot! arri and i actually talked about it yesterday and without me even mentioning how i've been feeling lately, she said "you need to keep shooting." and she is right. even if only once a week or once every two weeks with editing and research the opposing weeks, i need to be shooting and hunting down small gigs to bring in extra money and hopefully start to take off.

that being said, this is the start, its nothing fancy, i didn't even use a reflector, let alone lights, but it puts me in a train of thought, looking at objects as potential subjects again. next, this week, i'm setting something up and shooting. so hold me to that.
