As you may, or may not, know, in addition to my photography business, my day job is as a photographer for a local catalog company here in Cheyenne: Sierra Trading Post. There I mostly photograph product for the catalog where my specialty is "hard goods," or, basically anything that is not clothing. I do some clothing here and there when needed but mostly I am responsible for product ranging from cufflinks and watches to large 8-person tents and bed sets. Most of it involves shooting the same type of product over and over... it's amazing how many styles and manufactures of sunglasses there are.

On the Shutter-Vision side of things, I recently picked up a contract with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to photograph product for their Catalog and Online Gift Shop. It's come at a time where I have some personal situations in transition. but I believe once I get the ball rolling there and get over the initial crunch with the product, and as things slow down a bit over the next couple of weeks at home, it should go pretty smoothly.

In a personal note... Brodie gets her cast off on Wednesday, assuming everything goes well at the appointment. I can't believe it's been 4 weeks already. She definitely hasn't let it slow her down. At day care she tries to climb the climbing wall and ladder on the play set, though they don't let her. Last thing we need is for her to slip and have something else happen. There have been a couple times where she's made it half way up while they were briefly distracted by another child... I wouldn't be surprised if she planned that. Needless to say though she was not happy when they would take her down. Yesterday when I picked her up she wanted to jump of their front porch like she used to before the cast, that porch is nearly as tall as she is. I didn't let her but she did jump off the bottom step. It's going to be interesting watching her readapt to life without the cast. She'll be glad to have it off but we'll really have to work with her leg to get her back to normal. I think it'll be a quick recovery though, if the way she adapted to the cast was any indication.

Until next time...
Be Good or Be Good at it
