Thanksgiving is upon us. While the birds quake in fear, I plan photo expeditions into the wild. Thanksgiving is happening in Laramie this year, which means a drive up to Wyoming, which I rarely look forward to. However, in this case, I’m scheming. With my improving photographic skills, I have a couple of sites I’d like to hit before eating myself senseless at the inlaws. Dinner is late in day, so I ahve the early afternoon to drive up 25 into Cheyenne where I can shoot some interesting rock formations, and then over to Laramie on I-80, where I can stop and shoot some Vedawuoo rocks. I’m thinking more HDR pictures.
I’m back to submitting stock. I just had two new stock photos accepted, which I will blog later on, in case you’re eager to use a nice photo of a ground squirrel or a close-up of a garter snake’s eye in your next design. I find that if I go slow and just upload a handful at a time, and have a big stack ready to go, I am much more relaxed about rejections. I don’t care about my acceptance rate. I don’t care how well it sells. I’m just interested in slowly building my portfolio and getting better. It’s nice.
Maybe some day I can treat my writing with the same relaxed manner.
The rest of the long weekend will be devoted to building Diamonds in the Sky for Brotherton and getting some Roundbottom scripts in the can. I’ve got 2 more weeks of sabattical and then I’m back at it again. Bigger and better than ever, I tells ya.
