my muscles are hurting from all the shooting i did today. but i feel it was a pretty fruitful day, i got maybe 1 really good photo and 3 to 4 decent ones which makes it all worthwhile. i kind of got into my old mentality again, i worked and worked and did anything i had to, for the photo. i'm never happy, 100% happy, but considering that i think i did well. Fuss was one of the best models i've had, no complaints, no hesitation, she did everything i asked and was willing to do more. not to mention she let me cut her hair... after almost 2 days of doing her make up and staring at her face from behind the lens and all i figured she's 23-25 yrs old. she's 31. christ.

and i think with this (sketch version) i win the EMO PHOTO OF THE YEAR 2007-award.

















there's no excuse for something this emo. i guess once i got into the shooting mode i had to go a little overboard. i've always wanted to do the goth eyes!! wow sounds like excuses right there.

i said i'd be at the hotel tomorrow morning at 9:15, to shoot a portrait of Mark, because then they gotta run to the airport already. last time i got the idea for a portrait the last minute and it didn't turn out too good so i've been waiting for a change to redo it.

my fingers smell like blood. Fuss didn't mind real blood so i used it a lot today. it has its sides... cheap. very thin, which can be good or bad depending on a photo. great color for most photos. smells bad. stains clothes. you don't want it in your eyes or mouth.

i was on the german radio today. Mark has a weekly show on some nationwide station. this week he was talking about drinking, so he invited this natural born specialist (erm) to the show as a guest. i merely told what we've been drinking, in german of course :P exotic liqours from the german perspective.
