Back from Spain, and Maryland. Spain obviously wasn't enough of a vacation for me, so back on an aircraft to Maryland I went, just days after returning to the windy city from Madrid and Sevilla.
Priceline.com served as my travel agent thanks to a recommendation. And after naming my own price, I received a super-early departure time, a small plane, and I had to check my carry-on at the gate, preventing me from perusing my book on Tufted Titmouse tweeties and other songbird species of North America; which I had forgotten to transfer from duffel bag to cargo shorts. The alternative: window-seat exposures with my Canon SLR of small alien-figures ripping apart the left plane engine via an access panel in the top of the wing (Twilight Zone reference, and totally irrelevant to this blog entry).
I was able to pick up a couple of unexpected event gigs in DC, which was much welcomed!
Now, armed with creative ammunition from both Maryland and Spain, I'm eager to get back to work so that I can travel again in the near future!
Upcoming shoots include an entire website of jewelry, both modeled and shot individually; a lifestyle editorial shoot for an airline magazine; a coffee shop; a super-stylized portrait of a friend/colleague; a race car driver in Tampa; an ex-football player in Tampa. Busy is good!
I'll end with a quote--paraphrased--which I heard from a guy in the airport:
"A beer at 10-o'clock in the morning is quite odd..but two beers is not."
