I have so many ideas for this ape costume. So many ideas…
I just thought I should make a formal announcement that I am going to take a sabbatical from blogging formally. This sabbatical really already began, and I anticipate it lasting until at least May, but maybe longer.
This isn’t to say that I’m out of photos to publish. In fact, the contrary is actually the case.
This isn’t to say that I’m taking a break from photography, because I certainly am not. It is just, that you won’t be able to see my unpublished and yet to be taken photos. At least not here.
Although, I’m sure there will be the occasional blog post about tenderloins, travel, movies, music, life, whatever…
I’m just taking some time off from this project to pursue a couple of other projects. Hopefully those projects will bear fruit someday and I’ll be able to share those with you as well.
Until next time,
Your Humble Narrator
One of the most popular weeks at the Computer Mine is Customer Service Week. There are lots of theme days and people get to dress up in costumes. The week climaxes with the crowning of a Customer Service Week King and Queen. It reminds me of Spirit Week at dear old Boone High.
I was contracted to take a few pictures of the participants. Here are a few of those photos:
Not sure where next week’s Wednesday Randomness will take us. Probably down portrait lane…
I don’t publish the pictures of families I do for Christmas cards before Christmas because I don’t want to ruin the surprise of anybody that may be getting a Christmas card.
But today is Christmas, so I am going to release one picture, with a little bit of back story.
I normally do all of my studio photographic work in the small studio that I have cobbled together in the basement, but that studio is currently in disarray due to a basement shuffling project I have been working on for at least 8 months.
Because of that, I transformed by dining room into a makeshift studio to take a picture of the Gorshes.
One of the benefits of having the studio in the basement is that Naima is afraid of the basement. She stays out of the way.
But, I wasn’t overly concerned about her getting in the way because she isn’t overly fond of having her picture taken.
But, when the Gorshes were all set up for their pictures, Naima ran into the picture and posed herself.
I will just repeat, Naima posed herself in this picture. Nobody urged her to be in the picture. Nobody told her to sit in a certain spot. Nobody told her to smile and look at the camera. She did all of this herself. It should also be noted that she fought like crazy to not be removed from the photo.
The good news is that I can now rent out an adorable golden retriever to any family that needs an adorable golden retriever for their family photo.
