A few weeks ago Kara booked me a photoshoot with some models — actors who want head shots — and then told me when and where it was, all without my input or any go-ahead or planning on my part. I just have to show up, shoot some photos, and cash the cheques. She is the perfect producer and if my creative output ever starts making serious billz she’ll be compañera #1.

To prepare I’ve been reading up on portrait photography, watching tutorial vids, and meditating on desired outcomes — my horoscope says opportunities in media are waxing.

I’ve laid hands on a copy of Lightroom 3 and I’ve been testing the “tethered capture” feature just now — holy effing ess! This is some real photography shit like you see in the movies (if you watch movies about photography)!

I’m quite pleased. Essentially this one feature lets you skip buying (or building) a remote trigger, though not a timing device… Unless you set up a macro to trigger captures by simulating mouse/key presses. Which I might do to start getting some time-lapse snapz!
