After two lazy/busy months of not getting a new e-mail newsletter out the door, I pumped one out yesterday... and buried in the nonsense updates about what I've been shooting was a little note that made me smile to type it in: "I've been spending most of the Spring crisscrossing Florida doing assignments by land, air, and sea (quite literally)."
The crappy picture of my thumbs up was taken from the co-pilot seat of a powered parachute ultralight aircraft, one of 3 different lightweight aircraft that I got to fly around and shoot air-to-air images in on assignment for Popular Mechanics a couple of weeks ago. As any occasional reader to the blog knows, I just got back from Cuba. And in a few more days I'll hopefully be heading down to the Keys to drink my ass off and take some really fun pics again.
In short, this week I'm in the lucky position of realizing just how good my lucky ass has it. I'm making money doing what I love, meeting some very cool and interesting people, and am enjoying the excess of free time to hang out with friends and family. Nearly every photographer is used to having strangers and subjects alike exclaim, "damn, you have a really cool job!" It's so easy to forget though, especially when they mention it in the middle of an assignment that you are busting your ass to try and make something out of...
There are problems. I have problems, we all do. But right now I'm focusing past all of that on the beautiful position that I find myself in on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon in Miami. And with that, I need to go get some flowers... Happy Birthday!!! to two amazing women in my life: Gammy and Judyta!
