new world forming, picturesque in it's dance

The Fall is definitely coming on fast. After such a brutal summer, I am so primed to fall right into the autumn.  I already have some interesting things going. For some people, the world narrows down to the person that they are interested by. I am not one of those people. For me it seems like the world opens up and takes on my curiosity with renewed vigor.

 I have found that I am not feeling as nostalgic as I usually do when the Fall girl wakes up. For the most part, I am just looking forward to the future. I know that I am living in a way that I will want to remember later. So many things are moving for me, or poised on the edge of starting. I am making headway where it counts and everything else is being left by the wayside. Granted I am having to acclimate myself with my new  abbreviated budget, but now that I can actually use my kitchen, it's do-able. I feel like entertaining at home more often as well. I think that I am just over whatever I had been doing for the past few years, and I feel like I have a lot to accomplish. I am definitely finding new ways to network myself for my business, and for my photography. I am finally getting a little more recognition and I am getting more subjects in to sit for me. I am trying to catch them at their most "them". I actually took photos of R passing out in my bed. They are beautiful. He looks hotter in my bed than he does anywhere else. I wanted to capture that. I am debating whether or not to show them to him. I am not sure I am ready for him to see himself the way that I do. I will have to send him one eventually.

  The photo shoot with Anna went beautifully. We ended up staying in my house, but I got some photos of her that were just amazing. We ended up sitting around talking about life and looking through some other photos that I had taken for most of the afternoon. Then I was trying to get ready for the wedding when Boss calls me freaking out because Lucy's hair looked like shit. The other stylist had done something horrific with her hair. Who In Gods Name would let a bride wear her hair down when the service is on the RIVER on an warm and muggy day??? So I packed up my curling irons and made my way downtown. I fixed that miss into a down do that held up against the river wind and loads of dancing, and I did it under five minutes just before we started walking out to the river. Matt and Em were there, and Darlene and I just sort of affixed ourselves to each other because Boss way busy trying to assist with the wrangling of people. At the river, we couldn't see shit, so Dar and I just monkeyed around in the back of the crowd. Luckily the ceremony was fast and I got a few decent photos after. I actually took more of the river than I did the actual wedding. I got a few shots that really count though. When Dar and I finally made it back to the reception hall, the band was playing and it happened to be the Memphis Dawls. I have a ridiculious crush on Holly Cole. I gave her my card and told her that I would love to hang out, or take photos of her sometime. She said that she had seen my work and that she loves it, so we shall see. Then there was Gus's chicken and waffles, and cigarettes. It was perfect. I spotted R's wife(she is beautiful) and was sure to never get near if she was standing with Lucy. I was not taking any chances on being introduced to her, though she was sitting outside when I was leaving. All and all I think it was a rousing success. I was supposed to go to the P&H for the last Oracle and the Mountain show with Boss, but I went home to change and succumbed to exhaustion. She came in and covered me up and told me to stay in bed.

 I think that the weekend went off rather well for a new moon. Now let's see if I can get next weekend to come off as well. Hopefully there will be more sleep involved.
