  • Apparently I bought one of the last Saturns. :( #
  • IT folks can't find CABs for XP SP2, so I'm dead in the water on new computer. No IIS, No .NET (waiting on IIS)… #
  • Hmm… looks like Pushpin got bought out by Apple. Pity, was looking for alt. map API source (http://www.pushpin.com/) #
  • w00t! Got beta email to start a "stack exchange" site based on #stackoverflow code. Have 10 ideas for useful SE sites, need to pick one. #
  • RT @danherbert It's a great feeling to search for something and find the answer to your question answered by yourself on #stackoverflow #
  • What do *you* see in my artwork? I have to write my first real artist's statement tonight, need ideas… #
  • @Mallioch What's VS? emacs FTW! lol
    (Seriously, I usually avoid VS for .NET, but I'm weird that way and prefer UltraEdit) in reply to Mallioch #
  • @codinghorror Google Wave = live meeting + IM + tighter integration of collaborative document editing. I don't get it either. in reply to codinghorror #
  • @ChadBurge http://photos.Tallent.us, NSFW in reply to ChadBurge #

  • @NocturnalUtopia nothing boring about a steady paycheck lol! I'll keep living .NET/SQL 9-5 if I can shoot what I want on the weekends… in reply to NocturnalUtopia #
  • I think I need to change my MM to have the word "implied" in big bold letters. Implied models seem to not believe that I'll work with them. #
  • w00t! New laptop at work. Decided to switch from a desktop when I heard the laptops were actually faster now. Oodles of things to install… #
  • Great nuggets from Woody Allen in this interview that art photographers can sympathize with: http://bit.ly/JNHCW #
  • @AnnaEvans Well at least you have us to entertain you here in the twitterverse… in reply to AnnaEvans #
  • Thought I might have an assistant for Austin, but they wanted to be a second shooter too–not bad, just not a good fit for these shoots. #
  • @rondavis007 My checklist: mode, ISO, EC, clock, clean lenses/sensor, charge batteries, format CF, check lens focus/IS/VR setting, lens cap. in reply to rondavis007 #
  • @GOREWHORENOS Unfortunately, plenty of creeps on one side of MM and flakes on the other. Just be choosy and don't worry about the rest! in reply to GOREWHORENOS #
  • @coreyward thanks! no biggie, was just a new photog. wanting to learn, thought she just wanted to assist but wanted to shoot too. in reply to coreyward #
  • @coreyward the outdoor situation would have just made us more of a spectacle, so I declined. #

  • 684 Address Book entries left, probably 800 when I started. Wow, that took awhile to sort through… #
  • Bad: OMP talent search sucks worse than before, and most of my model contacts have retired. Good: Chinese buffet with the fam! #
  • Two great models booked for Austin, and one tentative. Still looking, need two more for the concept (not all at the same shoot). #
  • Photography casting call secret: most models read their emails / messages / casting calls on Sunday afternoon. #
  • Booked two more models for Austin! One great experienced model, one new model. Now doing 3 shoots, looking for a few more models. #
  • @SHO_Dexter in 5min. #
  • Hmm… have new moo business cards ready for weddings, but can't order because we have no credit cards–had to report stolen, no new #s yet. #
  • I like Photoshop, but maybe ppl should have to take a test that determines the max number/opacity of layers they're allowed to use. #

  • Preparing for a bridal shoot, keeping an eye on the sky… #
  • Delanea's wallet and cash stolen (but no photography equipment) while at bridal shoot. Net profit: $0 for the day. #
  • I hate when a sweet but flaky model sends me a FR. Don't know how to respond. To me, friend = endorsement / desire to shoot, and I don't. #
  • Cleaning up my FB friends, contacts, twit-peeps, etc. Thought I was organized, but the address book needed spring cleaning. #

  • Blowing out highlights is like falling off a skateboard. Probably didn't look cool even if people tell you it did. Zone X = use sparingly. #
  • Off to friends' house to eat grilled
    Proteins and processed starches. I only have 700 calories left today, so it's a cheat day.. #
  • TX models: I'll be posting an OMP travel notice tonight, first time, please tweet when you get the email from OMP so I know it went out thx! #

  • @iamthescarlett get him his own MacBook… one per household isn't enough! Or good headphones… Everyone needs a good pair of headphones. in reply to iamthescarlett #
  • Most of my Austin trip is still up in the air, can't find serious models so far. Depends who contacts me this weekend. #
  • RT @jealex Awesomely bad engagement photos http://om.ly/IwSH #
  • @sakidoll I planned Austin trip for Oct 13-18. About to send out casting call by email. New MM casting UI sucks, traffic is WAY down on it. in reply to sakidoll #

  • Getting my flu shot. Someone needs to update the list of people needed alive after Apocalypse, because I'm not eligible for the H1N1 shot… #
  • Sorry, nurse, but unless you are giving me a Social Security check, you don't get my SSN. #
  • Scariest trompe-l'œil ever: http://imgur.com/yGIL3.jpg #
  • @gleeonfox hasn't disappointed yet. Guilty pleasure. Glad they've been picked up for the rest of the season. Next up: @SHO_Dexter! #
  • @sakidoll There isn't one yet. But when there is, it'll be rare. And yes, gimp sucks. Wish Adobe had more serious competition. in reply to sakidoll #

  • @rondavis007 It was photographers with Gear Identity Syndrome–"What do you shoot?" getting answers of gear rather than subject/genre/style in reply to rondavis007 #
  • I have missed House. #
  • Whew! Ignored most of my MM email for a few days, finally caught up! #

  • Saw 9 last night. Almost wish I had watched Tyler Perry with the wives. It was that bad. Animation was good, that's about it. #
  • Heading to Skyline Studios open house… Good chance to catch up on my overflowing podcast inbox. #
  • Anyone know any reliable Austin models? Time to start figuring out who to shoot with. #
