First let me apologize to those that read this blog and have noticed its absence as of the last couple weeks. Truth is I have only been mentally there for my photoshoots… if you ask my friends I am sure they will tell you that conversations with me lately rival talking to a small to medium size dog.
Costa Rica to AZ (for 6 hours) to Tampa (to photograph for a few days) to AZ (to photograph for a day) to San Fransisco (to photograph for a day) to Las Vegas (for a speaking engagement that I didn’t even make it to (that’s another blog post)) to AZ (to photograph for a day) to Florida (to photograph for a day) to AZ (to photograph for a day)
This is what my month has looked like, and overwhelmed fitted in right around the SF portion of the schedule. Nonetheless, I have had to prioritize work so much that I have not been a good blogger to my readers, a good friend to my friends, a good father to my dog, and a good husband to the most important person in my life. I am sure that in this all there is a deeper lesson to be learned, but the thinking process required for such enlightenment is just plain missing right now. In no way should this be taken that I am not grateful to be working, because I deeply am, and have found that I am photographing better than I ever have due to the soul focus on this one aspect of my world.
So the nutshell is that I have been fortunate to create some great new work, meet some great people, and sleep some nights.
My mind and I will return soon…
Blair,
When I worked with you in Tampa and heard of your upcoming schedule, I knew sleep for you was going to be minimal. I completely agree that during these times you are creating some great work and I noticed how focused and determined you are on set. I am happy that we were able to wrap your last shoot early, so you could catch that flight back home and catch a few more hours with the ones you love. Take care.. I will see you on your next trip to Florida.
Blair, I know it’s been crazy from reading your blog and fb! This last post is great because I have been thinking about you, and your work! Glad to know your doing some of your best work, always been one of your biggest fans and friend. But to all of us who love photography and especially your works, it’s great to live it through you. Great work my friend!
