December 16: I am glad that of my man’s now 28 years alive, I have been lucky enough to share a little over 6 of them.
December 17: I am sad to have missed out on a good pal’s party, but sooooo glad for the alone-time.
December 18: I am glad that one of our friends had an extra Burning Crusade beta key for us. 
December 13: I am grateful that my man can cook, because I sure as hell cannot.
December 14: I am glad that I have the presense of mind to worry that I am too shallow because I like to buy things.
December 15: I am glad that even though my astigmatism may be worse, it’s not glaucoma. Whew.
I photographed a returning customer’s newest baby boy this Monday. I rushed through the editing for her so she could get her Christmas cards out, but it still too me a long time to edit all the ones I liked. I didn’t get to do all the poses I’d like to have done. I wanted to do something like this or this, but the poor guy had been circumsized the day before! So a lot of the naked baby poses I had in mind were right out because he couldn’t tolerate having that diaper off. It did go well, however, and his mommy loves the ones I did get. Sorry for the crapton of pictures, but I just loved so many of them!
December 12:I am very glad that the mother of my first newborn shoot loves my work enough to give them as Christmas presents. That makes me feel happy.
December 11th: I’m glad to have the opportunities that I have and the capability and flexibility to make the best of them. I had my very first ever newborn shoot today. It wasn’t eveything I was hoping for, but I would say it still went well.
Larken and her two took me to the park today. I didn’t get any I liked of Benji, but this one of Isaac made my day.
December 10: I am glad to have found a new spot to shoot, expecially since all of the leaves have fallen and make my normal places too harshly lit now.
December 9th: I am very glad that I do not have all that I want. I can hope and dream, and never lose that wonder of something new. So many people out there have so much material stuff they forget what truely important.
A new LJ friend did this, and I was feeling the need to moon over some gear too. This is mostly a list of stuff that will be pretty impossible to get unless I’m a big-shit photographer one day.
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM $380
I need a low-light lens for small spaces
Canon EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM $1000
Image stabilization rocks hardcore.
Big softbox 2-3, $90 each
Eventually i’ll need some studio lighting
2-3 Alien bees, B800 $280 each
The flashes that go in the softboxes
Day 7: I am grateful that I can get totally drunk with my friends and watch soft porn when the occasion calls for it. Because those kind of friends are nice to have.
Day 8: I am glad that I grew up without contacts. It makes me love the sight of a very blurry Christmas tree.
