What's been happening? Well, lots of shooting and lots of busy-ness. I had to shoot a few more graduations. A few went well, a few not so well. I still got a cash bonus though! (That reminds me... I need to pick that up.)
Memorial Day weekend was fantastic and pretty relaxing I guess. Saturday Ryan and I went to Jack & Jill's wedding where I got to see several of my pledge sisters, which was awesome. I got to talk to Joanne for a while, which was very nice and all the girls got to meet Ryan. Haha. At one point Joanne said "so whose wedding is next?" and they all pointed at me. :)
I also spent a lot of my free time over the weekend practicing with some of my new Strobist techniques. Some were good and some were not so good... I don't think I'm afraid to bounce light off a ceiling anymore, but I also have definitely learned the value of having my camera off flash. I'm really wishing I would have had Strobist before I bought my studio light set because I would be in much better shape now if my lights were smaller and battery-powered. I've found a way to use my Metz in this way though and I'm thinking of buying a Nikon SB24 soon, which will serve the same purpose. You can see some of my practice shots at www.flickr.com/photos/hollybirchphotography.
On Memorial Day our friend Mike hosted a big cookout in a park near his house. A whole bunch of our church friends showed up and we ate way too much food. We'd eaten all the hot dogs and burgers when Gatanya showed up with like 50 chicken legs to grill. It was ridiculous. We had a good time playing volleyball, chatting and lounging though. That night we went to Gabe's to sit on the roof for a while. It was fun but I was severely dreading coming back to work the next day... but now the week's almost over! Yay!!
