Lost: One Mojo

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 2, 2009, 9:42 PM
Looking to get it back...


I thought I was doing well. I got my first set accepted to Zivity [link] . I had a couple good shoots in a row... I finally went out and picked up a whole octopus from a nearby Asian Market and Bobbie Ann was sweet enough to pose with "Ollie!" I think they turned out well! :)

Then there was my second shoot with Erin- and that was a set that took me "back" to my love of darker stuff and somewhat different lighting (as well as my plethora of colored lights)! We also shot a bit of more surreal type stuff! So far, so good...

Then came the long awaited and much anticipated "group shoot" with my friends and partners in "crime" who include *jeffreywinner *LovittCreations ~iquitcounting (the shooters) and ~KimJonet ~thespacequeen *AislinnEire ~ValkyriaGennadius (and hubby) and =LovittGirl (the models). The day was off to a good start until the woods started sprouting locals and case upon case of cheap beer! Thank god families still spend weekends together! I mean there were kids that looked as young as 15 slamming the brews! :o They all seemed to have an insatiable appetite for following photographer and model around to get a peak at some nekkidness! Wow! :( So besides that, my lack of real ability in dealing with bright mid-day sun while shooting combined with the yokels left me with very few decent shots! The time spent with this wonderful group made up for all that though. :) It was good all things considered...

After that came what I thought was going to be my busy week- 3 shoots, one first time meeting with a new model and working on completing my book! The plan was to cram some things in before the trip for =LovittGirl and I to SoCal on the 9th thru the 13th to meet and or work with a slew of great people including ^cosfrog *Conundra `PerryGallagher and `Pelicanh and others to be named soon! What do I end up with instead of a full week of doing what I love? THREE Cancellations (OK two of them were absolute no shows and no contact the other was a cancel), one missed meeting (my fault) and virtually no movement towards completing the book...

On top of that, I may have lost a friend for reasons I don't know...

And last but not least...one MOJO... lost!

I hope I get my mojo back by next week or that trip will SUCK! :( ...sigh...

"All I Ever Wanted"

I lie here alone and wonder why
That I come alive, just before I have to hide.

Because I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this

Because all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam

I listen if only for a while
But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial

If there's a way to a remedy then lead me straight to it
If there's a path or a door I missed , then show me now, show me this

Because all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam

I listen if only for a while
But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial

feel free when I am gone
