The Mourner

Eugene’s Strobist group went out on Saturday to do our October photo shoot, themed Halloween and held in the Eugene Masonic Cemetery. We had a BLAST, although it felt like only about half of the photographers scheduled showed up and as usual, some people had to cut out early to attend other commitments.

I haven’t blogged much since summer. August started out with one of my co-workers being called out of the office for a week and a half for a family emergency, so we were unexpectedly short-staffed and things were crazy for a bit. Once that cleared up, things stayed pretty crazy working on stuff until mid-September. I’m behind on my photo editing because of it, as well as not having posted much lately.

Things have calmed down now (knock on wood!) and I’m ready to come back to some of the projects that got put off while I was putting out fires. I’m seeing a lot of difference just in the photos I was getting in June and July and the ones I’ve gotten in the last couple of weeks, and it can’t all be due to having cleaned my camera sensor.

So, the door is open – there’s a couple of people I’ve promised shoots to, and I’ll be contacting them soon to see if they’re still interested. I’m looking for indoor locations to work in the winter, fun locations where they might let a couple of people in with a camera. And for people who want to play dress-up and be photographed and for food to shoot.
