i put my paw on the shutter button

what a day... 8 hours of straight work. well i did sit a few minutes and managed to grab some food. but my feet were hurting from standing after like 2 hours...  so it turned out a looong and painful day. i am guessing tomorrow will not be nice at all, the legs will ache for at least a day...  i am so pathetic, like a delfin who cannot swim. "we shall remember jen as the girl who couldnt stay on her 2 feet for very long..." i think evolution has formed my muscles and body for computers rather than standing.

but i did the photo job rather well, as well as i could. so that part went okay. 4 or 5 more of these days - after my return. then i will have to report the income and will loose my unemployment allowance...

from today, at the studio. my list of the 36 photos to take of each model is taped to the stand. in the right order. i shot 14 people, and had to remove any errors so there would be only the exact 36 frames left of each. precise work! so at the end of the day i had 500+ shots. when god created photoshop CS4....she was truly generous, these batch processes and droplets are saving my life right now. each photo needs to go through 25 to 42 actions (all kinds of filters and modifications). at the end of the project i should have around 55 to 65 000 photos...

i did my nails on sunday, with a pink glitter effect on the left hand, left side.

nice stamps, with aurora borealis theme

the AUTHOR of the book cover project i was working on likes what i did with this new one. i was VERY happy to hear this :) and right on time, before the trip...  yay!

now, suddenly it seems to be getting warm in middle east, 20-23C during the day, nice! thats a summer no question. so even the nights are easier, round 15C, thats agreat news as well. but Istanbul is still at around 3-10C, so what to pack what to pack omg omg

and here at home its getting colder again, my nose froze when i was out. -11C now but feels colder!

i am getting very excited and nervous too. flights is tomorrow after noon.
