*sigh* Life is so hard when you have to wander around beautiful places like this…
Actually, the difficult part is getting to places like this. I mean, I’m a city girl. Gimme a metrocard. I am so not prepared for washed out road detours and Dug’s trusty gps sending me down muddy, unpaved, mountain roads. And farms. Did I mention farms and farm equipment?
Well, it was worth it for the spring shoot of the House in the Orchard. You’ve seen it before, in winter. But there’s nothing like spring in the orchard.
One of the benefits of living and working in Connecticut, is living and working in Connecticut. New England is beautiful. And architecturally, it’s history is rich with simple charm and functional beauty.
This spring has been cold and dreary so far. And it’s all starting to wear on me. So much that I’ve taken to carrying my camera around the house. You know, just in case any moments pop up.  Bring on spring! If only to save DUG the anxiety of being my subject.
Congratulations to the Project Team! I got to photograph this exciting project last summer – it’s quite the impressive site!
You might recall I had a potentially threatening equipment malfunction that day. Well, folks, it seems to have all worked out. What a relief!
Ring me up if you are headed to Stepping Stones with your kids. It’s fantastic, and I definitely need to get some action shots…
(Really I just want to play at the Museum.)
Today at my shoot, my main camera, a trusty Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (say that 3 times fast) just back from the shop for a sensor cleaning, was giving me an incomprehensible error message: ERRor 02. Seriously?! Bah! A battery removal and replacement did the trick. For like 5 minutes at a time at best. BAH! Did they mess it up at the shop? Will I have to send it away for repair? Basically, how badly am I screwed?
As soon as I got home I grabbed my dog-eared manual. And did I ever luck out! I am so grateful because apparently ERRor 02 is all about a ‘faulty memory card’ – who knew? - and I’d already downloaded my images, so it worked well enough to get the job done without any magical restore software, and I didn’t even know enough to freak out that maybe that whole shoot wouldn’t appear on my hard drive! Yes!
So memory card in the trash and a thank you to the camera geek gods and I am on to editing my shoot. What a beautiful day.
