Day 133 – Big boy toys and my first paid job – UPDATE

Sweetie is a radio-control airplane aficionado and in recent months has joined a club of like-minded guys. This means I lose him for hours at a time on weekends, but I’m happy he’s got a hobby and friends outside of the home. The club held its first annual Fun Fly today and I was asked to photograph the event.  I took a couple hundred photos and am still going through them. Just one from the batch is below. I’ll link to them later when I’ve got them all processed and ready to go.

The other exciting news is that I had my first PAID job today! My friend is starting back to work as a consultant and needed some headshots done. Here are a couple of my favorites. Unfortunately, WordPress in “crunching” my images has made them cooler and more washed out than they should be. I’ve broken down and set up a SmugMug account, and when I can, I will link to the photos.  (UPDATE: I have replaced all the photos below with linked-to SmugMug photos. The difference is clear. The colors are as they should be.)

Just so you know I’m not imagining the color difference, the photo below is after WordPress is through “crunching” it.

It wasn’t all serious . . .  we had some fun too!
