dodgeboy... It's a lot more work than one thinks... Friday night I scrubed the shop floors and wiped things down and brought up two cars.. So I put in 5 hours of work doing that, after working my normal 10 hour job.. Then I washed the two cars and that took about a hour each and set up all the lighting so there is 8 hours total and I haven't even taken a picture yet.. Left the shop at midnight on Friday.... Sat. morning I was up at 5:00am.. Showered, shaved, and breakfast in me and picked up my helper, as I try to never shoot alone, because of one reason or another... Pulled up to the shop at 6:30am and cranked the heat on to warm the place up as my first shoot was at 7:00am, second shoot was at 9:00am third shoot was at 11:30 with Christina... 1:00 I ordered Pizza and took a half hour break with Christina and my helper then back to work shooting... My 2:00 model texed and said she was running late by 1/2 hour so I shot Christina for a half hour longer... Shooting inside can be a lighting nightmare, but my helper helps me move lighting, props and keeps the cars wiped down and moves the ladder as I was shooting three bays and some outside shots as I had some friends stop by with their cars... My 4:00 Model canceled so I had my 6:00 Model show at 4:30, and texting has become part of my life as all the ladies use it, I hate it but I use it... So I was done shooting for the day and it was about 7:15... Yep I'm burnt out at this time as I have been up and down the ladder more than a Fire Fighter, Laying on the floor, up on the work benches, just working angles to get great shots... Am I done for the day... NO! I have to take my cars back to storage and load up all my lighting equiptment and put everything back were it goes in the shop then take my Helper home... Yep, done at 10:30pm... Now when shooting Models like Christina or any of the other models you must deliver great images if you want them to shoot with you again, plus if you do you know they will tell there friends... Is it FUN... HECK YES! If it wasn't I wouldn't be doing it... But it's alot of work also..
