Patience

Due to “unanimous desire”:http://revjim.net/comments/10177/ to see me post one image at a time, I’ve decided to start with this one.

Erica is quite beautiful, free-spirited, and lots of fun to work with. This is one image from our first set.

Image posting habits

I’ve sort of fallen into a certain pattern when it comes to posting images on this site. If it’s an image that I made randomly or without directed attention, I tend to post it as a single image. If, however, I have an image or many images from a shoot, I tend to post one image that links to the rest of them.

I’m thinking that, perhaps I no longer like this practice. I think it might be a better idea to post all of my images individually (or, sometimes, a couple at a time). Instead of posting an entire shoot in one shot, post some of my favorite images from a shoot, once or twice a day. This way, I can have a new image or two to post every day, and I can mix images from different shoots together. Additionally, this gives more direction for those of you who like to offer comments and suggestions on the images. After I’ve exhasted all the images I really like from a particular shoot, then I’ll upload the rest of them and post a link to the entire gallery to let you know that there are more available that I’m not going to single out.

So, *I ask you*, What do you think about this new practice? Would you prefer it, or do you prefer to wait until they are all ready and then see them all at once?

traffic… ugh.

Why is it that the residents of the DFW metroplex seem to have immense trouble driving in any weather condition other than “blazing hot sun”? It took me 2.5 hours to get to work this morning. This is a trip that normally takes about 1 hour. My commute is 34 miles. I averaged 13.6 MPH. That’s about 1200 feet per minute. That means that in one entire minute of driving, I would have only passed 30 average sized, stopped cars. You know that grocery store 5 miles down the road from you? At this rate, it would take you 22 minutes to get there.

The worst part is that there are three places where the traffic gets backed up. At not one of them (nor anywhere else in my commute) was there an accident that I could see. Additionally, according to the traffic on the radio, there was never an accident during the entire morning on any portion of my commute, nor did any other accidents have traffic that bled into the roads that I take on my commute.

So, why, you might ask, was traffic so bad? Beats the hell out of me.

Ugh. I’m ready to go home.
