Photo Quote of the Week

"PHOTOSHOP" - Everybody

Ok so it's not really a quote but I was working on some photographs from a photo shoot I assisted in over the weekend and I thought "This is my least favorite thing about photography!"

When I first started it was very much exciting to me. The things I learned to do and how I was able to sometimes transform my images, I was amazed. 

So I obviously didn't mind spending hours editing. 

These days, I despise editing. 

I have so may things going on that it just feels like a chore.

How does this relate to the "quote" of the week, you ask?

Simple. 

Editing means photoshop.

(or Lightroom for some of you, but i'm ignoring you for today's purposes)

Photoshop means many, many connotations.

Mostly bad.

Most people think botched artwork when they hear photoshop.

Something poorly done and even ghetto.

Yeah, that really makes me want to take my time editing.

And for a select few it means positives things which I am choosing not to dwell on today since I am only interested in the negative.

Yes, that's me, the optimist.

(actually i normally am, but today i choose not to be)

So back to editing.

It sucks.

I'm sure I'll think otherwise when all my work has been completed and I am once again filled with

Wonder,

awe,

and PRIDE

in the work I have done.

Until then, I shall be an unhappy camper.

Er, photographer.

P.S.

When I am back to my optimistic self and find myself with some free time, I shall fill you in on my recent absence and share my experience about the photo shoot I assisted in with some sneak peaks.

Byeee

Update: Where have I been?

Hey Photo People, 


I am sorry I have been MIpA (missing in photographic action) for the past two weeks now. 


Here's the low down.


My awesome boyfriend's dad was in a car accident last week so I was in and out of the hospital with his family. 
(He is ok now, just bruised and on "house arrest" per doctors orders)


After that I spent the rest of the week catching up on the work I missed at work.
(great stuff i tell ya)


This week has been all about homework and research.


I was offered to do wedding photography for a friend next month.


Since I've never done anything like that, I wanted to be informed and be prepared. 


Unfortunately it was all for not. 


I was informed today that they hired a photography since Monday.


I love them and I'm not hurt or upset
(the wedding is in 2 weeks so trust me, i understand)


But I would have appreciated the heads up so I didn't spend the past week staying up into the wee hours of the night doing research.


Oh well. life's lessons. at least i know a little something about wedding photography now.


So this week's lesson my friends?


There's always an upside.


Even if the upside isn't the one you were expecting.
