I can’t believe it’s August. This year has just flown by, I think likely due to the fact that we’re still planning a wedding that’s going down in about a month and a half now. I can only hope time will slow back down once the wedding is behind us, but likely this won’t be the case.

I had been thinking that work was slow this year but I think it was largely a mirage and I’ve kind of been busier than ever. Previously, I’d have fewer large jobs with more downtime in between the shoots. Lately it has been more small jobs and a feeling of constant hustle. I’m also reworking my career a bit to focus more on video, which is time consuming in itself, while also contemplating a fully new and different endeavor on top of it all. It’s no surprise my hairs have been rapidly desaturating lately.
