Just a post to pass the time

I realized I haven't posted here for a while. Partly because I don't have anything pressing on my mind at the moment, and partly because most of my focus has been on Photography, so naturally my photo blog is the place I post that stuff.
But, just to throw a few things out there here's a basic update, in no particular order...
I had a photo shoot yesterday with a model named Franchesca. She and I actually work at the same place, but in different departments so once we learned of each other, and I mean that in the "Oh! You're a model? I'm a photographer!" "Oh! You're a photographer? I'm a model" kinda way...we talked about what kind of images she wanted to add to her portfolio...and decided on Pinup style. Cool! Pinup is fun cuz it's all about the attitude! I got my MUA on the job, and she brought a Hair Stylist and it was off to the races! Sorta. I have been having some technical issues with my lighting rig, and wound up spending too much time having to deal with that. Consequently I wasn't at all as happy with the lighting rig as I have been in the past.
But, I still feel we got a number of quality images to choose from so I'm feeling good about that...

hhmm...let's see...something NOT photography related...Oh! I actually filed my taxes ON TIME this year! Woot!! I'll be getting a nice refund from Fed & State so that's nice.

I am (once again) doing a Refi of my mortgage to lower the interest rate from %6.5 to %5.5 and save about $160/month. That will be good, if it goes as planned. My Mtg guy has all the paperwork, so now it's just a matter of making arrangements to close before the end of April.
When I am done with this...I don't think I will even THINK about Real Estate again for at LEAST 20 years!

What else...what else...Oh! Due to high demand, my friend Jessie has decided to open his American Taijutsu school again and is operating out of my backyard because he lives in a townhouse and doesn't have a yard. Class is on Sun mornings & Wed evenings...I work on Sundays, but am off on Weds so I should be able to attend at least once a week. Woot!
Now I need to move some stuff around on the porch and create a storage space for class related items...

hhmm...Still don't have a girl in my life. That's really annoying because I think I am ready for another relationship...I just don't know how to get one. Hell, I Never knew how! Connecting with Judy all those years ago was a fluke! (A very happy fluke, but a fluke nonetheless!)

I just don't know how to meet women...other than as potential photography clients. That's easy. "Hi! My name's Steven and I'm a photographer. I would love to work with you...here's my card..." That's actually worked a couple of times, so I ain't giving it up...I just need to somehow convert that to: "Hi! My name is Steven...I would love to take you to Dinner, here's my card..."
Believe me I've thought about it plenty of times...but have yet to pull it off.

And that is all I have time for at the moment. Thanks for letting me rant at you. Feel free to Rant Back via the comments... Really! Leave me comments! DO IT! :)
