A Weekend's End

This past Saturday, I had a chance to help out on a TV. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. I picked up a lot of knowledge about lighting, from setting them up to manipulating them to enhance your shots. I even learned some tricks and tips for shooting in front of a green screen. Volunteering on this project put me way ahead of the game in my opinion and I look forward to further opportunities to do it again.

My whole weekend was great, really. Sunday was a great day spent with Nicole as we sampled some of the vendors at the Harvest festival in Washington park. I was able to take some cool photographs and Nicole even modeled for a few of them. For some reason, we were both on a thirst driven search for fresh apple cider that day, so we stopped at a farmer's market on the way home and our search was over. For some reason, the apple cider really makes me feel nostalgic for the Fall season. We both do, but Niki loves Fall way more than the average person; she put up decorations 2 weeks ago and has declared her birthday Niktoberfest.

Haha, I love it.

Caught up with a good friend of mine today. We grabbed some lunch and talked about what's going on in each other's current events. I was a little bit shocked when he told me that the road trip he had been planning was going to take place over the course of 2 months. It scared me a bit to think about what he planning, but as we continued the conversation, I became more rest assured that at least he is going to be prepared. A road trip across country by yourself is a daunting feat and it's something that I don't think I could do myself. I admire his courage in that respect and I have my fingers crossed for a safe journey and even safer return home.
