Portfolio = stare at a year’s work at hard work… find good photo… make AI CD label

TOOK PICS of the gym’s basement yesterday — I like the ones that aren’t very marketable — go figure:

The assignment WAS to take action shots of people USING our gym equipment. But I just got the new flash. And I love taking the fun photos too.

Don’t worry I joked with the 8 or 9 guys who got their photos taken. Called them all male models. Told one of them that he looked happy that he was wearing a clean shirt. Great guys. :)

Lol – the first one could go on our notices: PLEASE RACK YOUR WEIGHTS. Market that one….

So I have to (HAVE to) construct some sort of portfolio of photos past. Sadly enough that means going over my carefully backed-up CDs from my year at the Leader/Niagara this Week. It’s no easy feat – I photographed everything.

What is that? Like actually not loving every photo I took isn’t tough enough. Apparently we’re having pizza today.

I have one (ONE!) photo in mind – and I took it with a Canon Powershot — a point-and-shoot. That’s kind of terrifying if you ask me. Sept 29/08 – One of my first official FORT ERIE jobs at the Peace Bridge Authority Office Building Opening.

There’s the Surfing Santa too.. from Dec 24/06

Ohh Nov 6 (rain dated from Oct 12) the Bi-National Walk Against Domestic Violence – two sides of the walk met on the Peace Bridge. I was there, across the way – my first I ever WALKED the Peace Bridge – All to take a photo.

Oh the Earth Day celebrations 2007 – I have some good ones of the boy scout making little planter. And I think I have one of people building Blue Bird feeders.

Oh! my first BIG Political Story – Covering Hedy Fry’s (Liberal Party Leadership Campaign – July 2006).

Wow what I trip down…. that lane…. call it what you want.

Below is my desk right now… the CDs are the backups… the papers on the typing stand is JP work, the papers to the left (bottom) are all my job search efforts, under them are my Relay for Life work (which btw is not running at all).

Dr. Darryl just surprised me! My orthotics are in!!! I get to running again! In my new running shoes! YAY!!

OMG – after all that Walmrt Portrait studio just called – training shcedule for next week
