Getting paid for my photographs in food seems to be becoming a trend. S wanted some headshots done since the one’s she has are only good for the New York scene. Actually next time somebody asks me to do a shoot I really need to figure out before hand what exactly they need, I only found out what headshots are around a few hours before the shoot. Admittedly I had been busy with interviews, accepting job offers and losing my mind over the prospect of not seeing Sri Lanka for so long, but I still should have taken the time to learn more about what taking good headshots necessitates.

I hope she got some usable shots, I certainly got a few I liked, but then I’m not the client. I got Jamaican jerk chicken and a humongous ice cream, cookie sandwich for my efforts. Needless to say I spent most of the night up with heartburn that would have woken a mummy up. Add that to an early morning wake and jaunt on the freeway to check out our boys kicking some Windian arse and I’m pretty knackered. The next job I have lined up is the sibling’s graduation, hopefully try and get a flash before that, since that seems an essential for good portrait work.
