Busy Times....

I have an appointment set in my calendar every Thursday for updating my blog, and you can only hit the snooze in Outlook so many times.
I have been a little busy lately, so I'm not beating myself up over not posting for almost a month....again. I haven't had a day off in a couple of weeks now, except for the night that my wife decided that we should go camping in our Element. It would have been fine, if it weren't for the dog and over 100 degrees temperature. I ended up sleeping (yeah, right) on the ground outside so Neo could hang with me. Between sleeping limbs (forgot my pillow and slept on my arm), rain, and falling supplies (see note about rain), I didn't sleep more than about 2-3 hours that night and had a job in town on Sunday afternoon. I'm almost done whining.... I was SO glad to be home the next night. No sleep, pack up, go home, unpack, shower, shoot a job. Okay, I'm done.
I had the opportunity to shoot the India Festival in the Pioneer Courthouse Square, and it was WAY more popular than I expected. I didn't know there was that much Indian culture in the area. The park was overflowing with people for a while. I love events there. Seems like every time I work in the square, the day is overcast, which is great for photos. The bright colors and beautiful outfits made for some easy great photos. The spirit and energy of the event was great, and it was easy to wander around and take pictures of people. What a great park. The bricks are close to a middle grey, and good for metering off of when the events have bright white tents. For the schedule of remaining events at the square, you can check out http://PCSPDX.ORG

I am not posting any pictures tonight, as Yellow Tail and the Olympics are calling. I am not usually into sports, but I do love watching the olympics. I was up really late last night, and got to catch one of my favorites in the olympics - Bicycle Supercross. Those riders just amaze me.
