I think I’m one of the few people that didn’t dread the start of the business week now that the holidays are over. The reason for that… I’m a photographer, I love my job. Plain and simple… I love what I do.
\nEven in today’s rocky economy and needing to live carefully, I still prefer this over having a job I hate reporting to each morning.<\/p>\n

Today I spent sorting photos, making edits and updating sections of my portfolio. A large portion of my income recently has been coming from autocross events and track photography. So, I’ve been working on updating that section of my portfolio with my most current and favorite pieces.<\/p>\n

I also had some time to practice more Photoshop techniques… never a bad thing. Plus I get to create crazy stuff like the shot above… so what if it’s three months after Halloween. Haha.<\/p>\n

I was also a bit bummed.. the other night had this really awesome “Cheshire Cat” looking Moon. I know you all have seen Disney’s Alice in Wonderland and know what I’m talking about. Unfortunately, by the time I got home that night the cloud cover completely set in… so, I took this shot last night. Still nice, but very similar to a shot I did last month.<\/p>\n

More shoots coming in the next week. More racing to cover as well. And I think I’m doing a private fashion shoot in one of the clubs in Hollywood – I just have to pick which I want to shoot in. Should be a lot of fun. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
