I had a job in West Palm yesterday, had to be there at 10am – which meant I was up at 4am getting ready.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"> 4 hour drive since I went a wee bit over the speed limit and then I had the opportunity to work with </span><a href="http://oneperfectmoment.com/blog/"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Neil van Niekerk</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">, modeling for a group of talented photographers in a lighting course he was teaching.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">It was a very last minute job, so last minute that I doubted its authenticity and I spent about a half hour researching him, checking out his phone number, calling the hotel where the seminar was being held. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">“Yes… I understand he has a room there… but what <em>kind</em> of room?”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">If theres a bed involved... I'm not interested.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Expecting a sham, I was surprised and everything checked out.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">There is very little I dislike about modeling, but those things, I dislike strongly. Like working 24 hour days, driving 4-6 hours for a job and doing all over again before having the chance to re-coop because the work is there and who knows when more will come…</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">When it rains it pours, sometimes there’s nothing then all the sudden everyone wants you. It’s crazy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I know, I’m so big time ;-)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Anyway.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">The job was way more fun than I expected. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I’m no photographer, but if I was, I would want to take one of Neil’s courses. He was fun, interacting with the class, he really cared about what he was teaching.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">If he saw someone falling behind, he took special time with that person and caught them up.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I have done several seminars, and he was by far the best.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I mean….

Interesting... veryvery.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Michelle was very cool down to earth.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">As usual, I talked too much and was the total dork that I am.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">But I had a great time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">And I got to chase some seagulls in my wedding dress which was tons of fun.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">And stand up on rocks and pretend to be a diva.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">It was definitely some of the most fun I’ve had, mostly because I got to play, it was so out of the box…. I loved that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I can’t wait to see the pictures, of and Michelle took some kind of video of me running down the beach, my veil flew off while I was doing this so I don’t know if she will use it or not, or if it even turned out. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">But the recorder she used was cool; it was a tiny little thing, something I’ve never seen before….</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Unrelated to the world of fashion… I was taking a shower before the shoot yesterday morning and the bathtub fixture flew right out of the wall, spraying water everywhere.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">So yesterday after the shoot, I came home and repaired my bathtub/shower.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Yes…. I rock.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">The only reason I did it was because I pictured my poor hubby getting home from work at 7pm and having to go into the bathroom and work on the shower for 3 hours.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I went to Lowes, got the parts (I took the broken part and they gave me everything I needed)and fixed it myself.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I am awesome.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Haha.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I was actually really scared I was going to screw it up, because there were a lot of little parts and cement, and o rings and other stuff involved.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">And I had to saw a piece of PVC and I only had one chance to get the measurements right.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">But the shower works now.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">And Hubby hubster was very surprised and happy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Yay Me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">If modeling doesn’t work out, I can be a plumber.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">;-)</span>Andihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09486622855974159684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565261934465512739.post-71488960758309597862009-09-15T20:00:00.006-04:002009-09-16T10:42:45.239-04:00Photo Shoot - David Wilson - Journey Photography<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">David and Amy Wilson make up the incredibly talented <a href="http://www.journeyphotography.com/">Journey Photography</a>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">I really cannot say enough great things about their work, I just love what they do. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">If you are not familiar with them, please do yourself a favor and go check out the website, my special favorites are their pieces where they collaborate with <a href="http://www.laurenrossi.com/">Lauren Rossi</a> and create some awesome work. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Here are the shots that I got with David when we worked together…</span> <div><div><div><div><br /></div><div>(Click on each photo to enlarge)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGBOY6hzaJomarP961wGbEF6I7KxI5E9c5OxuW4P-m1RZVbFy6Wmjo4D1AHuLHq6o60e2ZstLPGYEnaBRvXz_QbiDlWYGklwbtzV2PiIneRVwP_Z0F_SpHhJbRjzvo169fqYQjQbs7iJwz/s1600-h/IMG_7174_Ocean+Glaze.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382073249191847378" style="FLOAT: left;
