The weather here has been so strange this year! I really can't believe how unorothodox it has behaved. All summer it was raining, windy and freezing and then Septemeber rolled around and it became incredibly warm and beautiful outside. Throughout October it hadn't even gotten cold enough for the leaves to change their colour, but then it snowed for a day or two. The snow melted and it went to +7-14 degrees everyday... Now it's the end of November, and we still don't have snow on the ground! That's so untypical of Winnipeg!
I'm not complaining, although a little snow would probably put me in more of a christmas spirit. Ultimately though, it doesn't matter because I won't be having a white Christmas this year anyways. I'm just getting a little frustrated because now that the temperatures have become -5 somedays, it's getting harder to shoot outside and I don't have my own studio space.
I've been allowed to use another photographer's studio space twice a month, but it's getting to the point where I'm needing it more than that. I guess I'm going to have to think of some places to shoot indoors, other than in a studio...
I'm very grateful for a lot of the client work I've been getting lately, it's nice to have some money in my pocket, but I'm reeeaaallly itching to do some more personal stuff. I've set up a shoot with 2 of my favourite models to take place next week, I'm not going to say who they are or what we're doing, but I'm sooo very super excited!
I want to try some more conceptual work, as a lot of what I've been doing lately is more model portfolios, where they need specific shots just to show off their face or body and not really involve any sort of environment or idea. I've been enchanted by so many artists here, and on Flickr... I'm so inspired!
Anyways, it's day 5 of my gym obsession until I go to Mexico... I should go get in better shape...
Oh.. and on a side note... my dad's snowmobiles were stolen last night. That makes me so angry
