A FAKE CONVERSATION WITH MY DERMATOLOGIST

So I had a random dream last night which included a discussion with my dermatologist about business, and how he got to be so blasted popular. See, it takes forever to get in for an appointment… subconscious being overactive? Anyway, he fake told me that to be as busy as he is, all someone has to do is follow his example: specialize in something people really want which has a built-in longevity and repeat business, be excellent at your specialty, cultivate the reputation for being THE one to go to for that specialty. Not bad advice for a dream.

The quest to find a niche and a specialty is one of self-discovery and patient expectation. That’s the polite, artsy way of saying it seems to take forever and I don’t want to wait any longer. Sometimes it takes a step or three back to “see the forest for the trees,” so that part of the plan for this summer. Bottom line is that the imaginary discussion taking place during REM-sleep has actually provided some humorously perfect direction.

Also, if you need a good dermatologist in the Eugene area, Jay Park is excellent – and he gives good counsel, too.

B&W + FILM

I decided to shoot some film at Landon and Jamie’s wedding. It’s been years, but here are a few from my first 3 rolls. I don’t know that I i’ll ever shoot color with film, b&w is too addicting. The mood of film, the grit, I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I looked over these shots. It’s official, I’m bringing my EOS 3 to each wedding.

LANDON + JAMIE PREVIEW

Friends make terrible clients. That’s what I’ve been told a million times, and I’m sure there must be some great truth which precipitated this saying… but I have to admit I find not even a hint of anything but perfection with this couple. I have a lot more to share, but, for now, enjoy a little bit of the reception.
