I have officially completed my first official photography job!  I had the awesome opportunity to shoot the press/rehearsal/production shots for my friend's new show "Lyric is Waiting" and it feels incredible. 

The sucky part?  I totally screwed up my back.  Not from the shoot, probably from picking up a piece of paper or something.  I really have no idea.  I just know that I woke up fine that day and a few hours later, whammo...my spine was all sorts of crooked. 

So when I wasn't taking photos or working on them, I was laying in bed watching crappy movies...hence my lack of presence around here lately.  Good news though, I appear to be standing straight now and the pain is gone. 

However, no matter how crappy I felt physically, nothing beat how amazing I felt to have completed my first photo assignment.  I can't believe I'm actually doing this.  Y'know, it's like I say "Oooh, being a photographer would be awesome" but there's always a small voice back there like "yeah right, as if that'll happen." 

Well, that voice can leave now...cause it totally happened.  I can now comfortably say with confidence that yes, I am a photographer.  A newbie no doubt, but a photog none the less.
