House hunting, picture taking and chair breaking...

Stupid chair. 

Anyways.  We continued the house hunt and we're still looking.  We've found ones that we like, but still not in a price range we're happy with yet .   We may have to 'settle' but for what I don't know yet. 

Lots of picture taking.  Gainesville Today magazine has had us running around a lot this past week.  This issue also marks the debut of my name being in the photo credits which is beyond awesome.  I know with all the work that David is going to have for me I don't know how much I'll be back in the field but I know I can cut it out there.  I should be able to get some copies of some of the things I shot and I should be able to get them up on my flikr soon.  I really need my own DSLR.  I know what I want, but obtaining the funds to get it is another thing.  I'm hoping David can help me in that aspect, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Let the hunt begin...

Today was our first day of house hunting and we've already found one we like.   Growing family need its space.  And, of course, that means... the return of the.. dun dun duuuuun... THE MAN CAVE!

:-o

Built things.

Well, actually Heather built them.  Both the Pack 'n Play and the baby-chair-bed-thing.  I just threw the boxes away.   Although, I did dismantle her old desk and tossed it.   Always fun being distructive.

Getting Owen's room  together.  She has informed me that she is about to enter the "Third Trimester" which is baby-doctor lingo for "He's Almost Here Time To Freak Out."  Which I haven't yet.  Actually, I'm really excited. I felt him kick on Sunday for the first time.  That was awesome!  Never felt a baby in the tummy before.  I feel like we should quarantine her for fear of a xenomorph.  Well, that probably wouldn't happen, but you can never be to sure...  >_>

The last thing we have to do is re-locate my desk out into the living room.  Which the current desk is made to be in a corner and, of course, we don't have a spare corners in the living room.  We've tossed around the idea of a new desk.... one that matches the decor of the living room... but as always... that costs money... and thats what we don't have at the moment.

Studio work is pretty heavy.  I have 22 houses to finish up by next Monday.  So, yeah, I'm going to be working late and possibly working on Saturday.  With all the new tech in the studio things are actually getting done faster and with better accuracy as far as color and such.   The 1D Mark IV and the new printer are performing wonderfully.  David even shot some video of a few of the houses.  Turned out great and we'll probably have it uploaded to YouTube sometime soon.  I really want to get my hands on a good DSLR, hopefully one that can record HD video, but right now I'm not being to picky.
