Long time has passed since I last posted here. At first I was going through a very busy time in the studio, which left me with no time for blogging-reviewing-discussing... Then, when I finally managed to clean my table, I realised that due to the crisis the booking of new projects has significantly decreased, forcing me to take some actions and do what I always put last - marketing. Rough times call for actions, this is why I am in the process of marketing the studio services to new clientele, offering summer discounts etc. So the blog suffers neglect but this is temporary. Sorry, blog :-)
Anyway, I wanted to tell you about a small accident I had.
I was messing with a mirror I wanted to carry into the studio, and carelessly did that without proper protection and gloves... The result was sad and painful: a nasty cut in my index finger, fixed by five stitches. All that, only two days before I had a wedding to shoot, imagine that. Well, a photographer's gotta do what a photographer's gotta do: shoot their clients on their special day! The day before the wedding I tested my ability to use my middle finger on the shutter button instead of the injured index finger. I found out it's easy enough to operate, and the index finger was not making too much painful effort when I picked up my heavy 1DMKII+Lenses. To be on the safe side, I hired one of my colleagues to function as a second photographer aside me. This way I backed myself up and felt more confident, knowing that if I need to slow things down during the wedding, he'll play first violin. Eventually it all went fine, I actually could do it all by myself but I'm happy I had assistance. If I ever get injured before a wedding again, I'll do the same and add a second photographer although it cuts down on my profits.
Oh, and here's my finger now, almost cured, just before I go to remove the stiches :-) Do you like my cactus?
