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.

Well, well. Happy tax day. Having jammed my weekend full of plans (hosted multiple events at the studio while vastly misjudging the time involved), I find myself scrambling to get my tax payment in the mail so it can be postmarked on time, while scrambling to get a blog post up without having one ready to go in the morning for the first time, while scrambling to clean up the studio and do laundry and get the house in order and kick on the air conditioning for the first time, all before departing town tomorrow afternoon for a quick work trip. Yes, spring has sprung and things are moving.
Let’s see if I can’t get some more blog posts in the pipeline and keep this streak going for a while longer. Would hate to end it on such an uneventful note.
