on friday night we returned from our eurotrip and it’s been a haze of a weekend. we attempted and failed to watch season eight episode two of game of thrones, falling asleep about halfway through. then we woke up st about 3am both saturday and sunday morning and couldn’t go back to sleep until mid-afternoon. saturday night we went for all-you-can-eat sushi with some friends - i was totally prepared for that after gorging myself on pizza and pasta in italy for several days.
on sunday i had a photo shoot in the afternoon in bushwick and despite a whole lot of technical difficulties, i got some great photos of five kids for a manhattan-based talent agency. the kids were friggin adorable and a lot of fun to work with. we only had one episode of crying at the very end from a very tired little guy. it helped that i had my squeaky rubber ducky and a string of fairy lights to keep the kids happy, and the parents were totally compliant and ready to help when i needed them. i’ll probably post separately about all of the technical issues, but honestly they didn’t detract from the results, so i can’t be too pissed. although i should probably withhold my celebration until the client sees the photos and let’s me know her thoughts.
today is back to work, and it’s going to be a long ass day since i have late shift - so i’ll be on the clock for 12 hours. it’s going to be hard to stay awake all day because i’m still a little jet lagged—not in the uber-fatigued and feeling gross kind of way, but more in the somewhat aloof and perpetually yawny way.
i’ll be getting caught up on the trip, and will be posting daily blogs after the fact in this instance, including some photos and vlog videos, in the coming week or two. i took a lot of video - tons of b-roll - so i have a lot to comb through as i build the vlog, but i did my best to stay focused and really most of the clips will be condensed down to a couple of seconds at most, so the videos should be pretty short. once i’ve built out the daily vlogs, i want to make a comprehensive travel video that details the ups and downs of the trip and walks through the costs and logistics.i have no doubt that i have plenty of material to draw from, so now it just comes down to hard work and dedication.
