Memorial Weekend - 05-22-2008, 03:08 PM


What is everyone doing this weekend?

As a side question, I am trying to find something to do this weekend that is near water, away from SA/Austin, and would not be super crowded. I know I am probably dreaming, any one have any suggestions.

I know what you mean. I usually work all of the weekends and major holidays. But it's like I always say....I'd rather be working on Christmas, than unemployed on Christmas.

Oddly enough, I'm off this weekend, though. I'm on vacation. So it's over to a friends house for BBQ.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Photography is my job so for a holiday what do I do ? I'm going to Scarborough Faire and take some pictures. But the holiday part comes when I know that I am the client and that if they suck no one will say a word because no one will ever see them.

I'm going down on Sunday. I'm starting to slather up with suntan lotion allready.
I'll take one DSLR with a walk around lens. One extra battery, and one extra Cf card.
I'm ready to buy food and drink and take pictures of wenches. It's their last weekend and I expect it to be a bit rowdy. Did I mention taking pictures of wenches ?

Lisa - what's up with the car accident ? You don't need any more accidents. I'll be thinking of you while you recouperate.

Chris - I'm not hard to spot. Just look for the old really fat guy who is sitting down somewhere near the big breasted wenches with his Canon in his hand.

I may pay a visit to the DFW National Cemetery. Should be some very good photographic opportunities there.
