Overload.....
I've been very behind on my editing lately and its frustrating to have photos piling up and no time to properly finish them.
Most of my time has been occupied by work, and when I'm not at work, I'm doing side jobs. I've been getting a good amount of eBay jobs as of late as well as a regular job tutoring in Photoshop. I'm also gearing up to teach a bi-weekly image editing class with a coworker (if we can get the syllabus finished up). Last week I did an on-site color calibration and some other photo work on the side!
I can't really complain because work = money, but I don't want to ruin my hobby/passion. Working at a camera store is bad enough... One of the problems I'm running into is that I'm forced to keep heavily focused on the technical side of photography and I feel that it is affecting how I think artistically. I would have a ton more ambition, photographically speaking, if I wasn't so involved with selling, teaching and constantly learning the latest imaging technology. Its hard to get inspired to do anything besides buy the latest equipment. In college, I was always interacting with artists, absorbing the work of both modern and classic photographer and never was I more inspired. I feel like a tool salesman as opposed to a carpenter.
A photographic retreat is what I need, a sabbatical of sorts to focus on a project, perhaps finish a series or start a new one.
In the meantime, here is more of the same: One from the recently recovered memory card, and another of Tasha from a while ago.
