Dojo and Photos and Retouching; OH MY!

So I've been a busy busy bee these past two days! :O Sadly, this busyness has not been because I have a steady 9-5 job. :P But it was fun and that is all that matters. :)

Both days have started pretty early, and anyone who visits my Twitter probably noticed that. xD

I spent a lot of my time at the dojo on Wednesday. Before going there though, I did my taxes and it turns out they promote their clients as well, meaning that I can drop off flyers and business cards and they'll help me out. Hecks yes. Just need some space in my basement for a "studio" and I'm set. :D

At the dojo we started with photos. Photos of the outside, photos of the inside, and then photos of Steve. He loved that. And I loved blinding him. Haha. It was fun though, and he also was introduced to the deadliness of a reflector. Bwahahaha Only briefly though, since I used a light kit to light him otherwise. I needed it for the dojo anyways.

After that I sat and chatted, and then we decided to work out.

[Insert eleven hour pause here because Steve and Sandra arrived]

By work out, I mean two and a half hours straight of exercise. Striking, grappling, weapons--you name it, we did it, basically. But it was fun.

And then his cardio class came in, and I did more photos. Those women are a riot, they really are. And I networked a bit, so I might have another new family portrait to do. :) Excellent. That always brightens my day.

Yesterday, Dan, Logan, and I hit up Saratoga since Logan paid me to do photos of him for personal use. Hecks yes, I do love getting paid. He also bought a print. Sadly, the money does go into my business account, but shit, it's money towards equipment. I like that. And we had a lot of fun. Logan and Dan are both great guys, and Dan has found a hidden talent in being a reflector bitch. Life is good.

Had to retouch all those photos though for him to choose from, and am still retouching shit from the dojo since I am slow and lazy and just haven't gotten around to it. ^^; I will though, soon enough. LOL

On the eleven hour break:
So today Steve, Sandra, and Dan dropped by. Steve needed to print his business plan, and since his printer is busted we let him come over and use ours. Sat and chatted for hours, and then Steve and Sandra headed to the dojo. Dan and I then hung out for the rest of the day.

First we just chatted. Then we went to the galla for Galway's art portfolio class from 5:30-7:30pm, and had a blast. I networked a bit, Dan thinks he found ancient ramune bottles (they really did look like it LMAO), and we just had a good time. I got him lost by taking backroads too, which was pretty humerous.

Tomorrow I'm going to be at the dojo by 7am to help Steve with a weapons class. That means I'll have to be up by 6am and out the door by 6:30am. If I do this right, I'll be out the door by 6:20am to get there a few minutes early. x3 I'll be tired, but it will be fun.

Anyways, since I do have to be up early, and it's about 10pm now, I'm going to leave you with photos from Saratoga and head to bed. Goodnight.
