I've got some big things coming up fairly soon in my life. For starters, this coming Monday, I'll be heading back to school to further extend my education in Photojournalism! I'm really excited about this coming semester because this particular class gets to work directly with the school newspaper so this is something entirely new for me. My photography style in itself is geared towards photojournalism but this will be my first time working in a printed, journalistic environment. Who knows? Maybe a couple of my photos will get published in the school paper! And getting published is always a good thing in the field of photography.
Second, for the first time in decades (I forget how many years but to put things in perspective, the last time I was here Boyz II Men were topping the charts with "I'll Make Love To U"...) I'll be back in the city of New York to shoot another wedding with Pamela Masters! I can't begin to explain how excited I am about this upcoming gig and trip. I remember being in my adolescent years in NY and I absolutely loved it. Los Angeles didn't have a metro subway system yet and the NY subway was my first experience. I also remember it being grimy. This was before then mayor Juliani put Times Square through its disneyfication process so it'll be interesting to see what new Times Square experience will be. So, because it has been so long for me in the big apple, I'm taking a week off from LA to get a fairly good experience. 2 days prior to the gig, gig, and 2 days post gig. I'll be a kid in the proverbial candy store.
There'll be other gigs that'll sure to come. They're not set in stone just yet. Other than that, I'm still working on the scanning and releasing the film photos as quickly as possible. Still working on getting the home lab (the color film aspect of it at least...) set up and I'm nearly there which is a good thing because my exposed rolls are collecting quickly and they need to be developed asap. Lastly, I'm still shooting quite often. That'll always be a constant.
