the good thing about tomorrow…

I used to only try to post work updates on here. But after thinking about this for a while, I have decided to let you all into my personal life for a bit. I mean photography is all about relationships and life. So, why not let you in on mine. Here is what was on my mind today….

Another Monday. What can I say. Not a big fan. I like Tuesdays and I like the weekends. I do like other days too but for some reason Tuesday sticks out. Seems to be the day I get the most done. But, even Tuesdays in the winter get a little challenging.

Each winter I go through a little funk. Its strange, I kind of go into hibernation. I don’t work as much (being a natural light portrait photographer in MN has it’s challenges). I try to reinvent things and try new stuff. I sometimes feel like I should move somewhere warm during the winters so I can continue to function. I forget things in the winter. I often need to be reminded that I am still good at my job and that I actually still have a job. I can tell spring is coming though because the high school seniors are starting to email! (quick thanks to the big Guy upstairs for job security!)

Anyway, today I was stirring with all of this and now it is 3:40 in the morning and my mind is going a million miles an hour. I have a major to do list and can’t calm down enough to sleep. Wonder what tomorrow will bring? probably a nap. Today during my daily blog trolling I came across this video. It completely and perfectly explained what I go through every winter. Seriously. I watched it almost in tears because I am always trying (see above) to explain how I feel in the winter. It’s a few minutes…you will think it is over a couple times…but it keeps watching. It is great. I am so glad I found this. Now, when I feel alone, and bummed that winter is dull, I will watch this.  

This post is going a million different directions, kind of like my mind. I promise a more sane post tomorrow or I mean today…Ugh. Need to sleep. Here is the video. Zack Arias’ video curteousy of the Scott Kelby blog. (insider note: the first part is supposed to be making fun of all the “hype” pro photogs” get wrapped up in, myself included. so go ahead and laugh. the other parts are supposed to be serious. The second note I have is, that my Mom hates the phrase ” that sucks” or “I suck” so fyi - it’s in the video a couple times) 

what’s a post with out a photo? 

good night.
