KGHekghreigh.

I have nothing to blog about. Kinda bums me out. Cus I want to blog.. but I have nothing really to say..
Other than, my friend Hunter and I are starting this new, really crazy, and intense workout sesh. It's a video workout called Turbofire. Let me tell you, it kicks your butt. We've only done it once and we most def cant keep up with it. So we're going to try it again tonight and see how that goes.
Other than finally working out, I've just been thinking a lot about my future. I'm not sure what I want.
My ultimate goal is Paul Mitchell, we all know that. But my mom of course, wants me to go to college first. You know, have a fall back. And I want the same for myself too. But I just dont know if I want it in the same way my mom does. I'm really thinking about getting my degree in communications. But I'm not sure if I want to do an associates at SLCC, or if I want to do a bachelors at the U. It really is such a big deal.
I either go to the U for 4 years, then go to PM, which, in case you cant do math, is 6 years before I can start a real career.
But if I go to SLCC then that will be shortened by 2 years.
But then if I go to SLCC and I decide later on in life that I dont want to do hair anymore, then I wont have the worlds greatest degree either.
I REALLY DONT KNOW.
I'm trying sooo hard to work this out in my mind. But I just dont know. Designing my future is not as easy as it sounds.

Fiiiinallyyy.

Verizon is getting the iPhone 4. Oh I am so excited! I want one sooooo bad. Too bad I'm not going to get one for a loooong time. Cus I have to save all my money to get my new laptop.. which is going to suck. And I dont have a contract up for like 6 months. Plus, my mom's phone is probably going to break soon, which means she'll need one before me... And the next avaliable contract isnt for like another year after that. Bahcrap. Verizon is against me. Why cant they just make it so everyone can buy one with an expired contract, but only for the iPhone? They'd make so much money! But I hope they get the white one. Cus when I do finally get one, that's what I want. Ahh, well now I'm going to go for a run, cus I'm home alone and bored. Hopefully I can come up with a money making scheme. I'm pretty good at the usually.

...

So yesterday I did a photoshoot with my friend Sierra, at the main library. It went fantasic and the pictures I got from that shoot were probably the best pictures I've taken in my life. I was so happy with the outcome of those pictures. I swear I've looked at them 30 times since last night. So when I got home I went straight to editing them. And lazy old me, I just save the edited version over the original one. Which for a photographer, is definetely a bad idea. [I need to stop doing that.] But anywho, I spent so much time on esch picture, I'd only gotten through about 30 of 260 we took, when I realized... SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY PHOTOSHOP/COMPUTER. Each picture I was saving was saving under the same file name. Instead of saving under Sierra.Library 032, or whatever number it was, they all were saving under just Sierra. So everytime I edited a new picture, it saved right over the previous picture that I just edited. When I figured that out I just about threw my computer at a wall. I was so frustrated. After all the hard work, and new editing I was trying, I couldnt believe that they were all gone. I still dont know why it was doing that. So after crying for about 10 minutes, and sulking for another 30 I decided to try again. My Photoshop was still doing the same thing after I restarted my computer, so each time I edited a new photo I had to sit there and type in the correct file name. Let me just tell you, when you do that 170 times you start to get reaaaaaallly annoyed. So by the end of this trial I came up with a new idea. I'm buying myself a new laptop, and a new version of Photoshop. Cus my version is old and not very good anyway. But hey, me getting a new computer will benefit my whole family. One: I'm paying for it, not my parents. Two: I will be able to wipe everything off of this computer, and give it to my sister. Three: we will be able to take my sisters desktop and put it downstairs for the 'rents to use. Cus the computer they have is slower than molases. It takes 30 minutes to turn on, not kidding.

Oh, but now I remember why I was telling that big long story. So I put all the pictures that I edited on to my S.McClurePhotography page, [http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/SMcClurePhotography/149054355147194]
and tagged Sierra. So all of her friends and family started looking at the pictures. Everyone loved them. Now her friends and family want photoshoots too. Meaning that I now have more paying clientel. Plus a bunch of my friends liked that link, and have in turn asked me for pictures. I'm so excited that my little hobbie is going to become something profitable, and that I'm going to be able to share my work with my friends.

I need to start coming up with new photoshoot ideas, and locations. Ahhh. If you have any ideas or recommendations, please share them! And also, please check out that Facebook page, and take a look at some of my work. :)

Here's a few of my favorites from the shoot.
