I googled her and your site was one of the first hits. I was amazed at the images. Then I was even more amazed after finding out you were here in Toronto. Then a couple years ago I ran into you at Hot House Cafe and was giddy with excitement. But I did the same thing with your photos...I looked at every photo you shot and posted. Studied the lighting. Studied the backdrops. Studied the setups. Tried to recreate the lighting and photo editing, especially your high contrast black & white images. I frequently checked your site for updates. Sadly, the frequency of posted images has slowed over the years - obviously as you're getting paid for more work, rather than doing shoots for yourself as you talk about. I keep coming back to see what's new. As for the stagnation, it's standard in every line of work, but changing things up along the way helps. Chase Jarvis wrote about this a few times. Read his stuff and maybe it'll give you some ideas to bring back the energy. http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2009/08/9-things-to-do-when-youre-feeling-stale.html http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2009/05/shake-your-tree-today.html Keep posting - your fans want to see your work - Blaine Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:15:51 +0100 http://www.paulbuceta.com/site/journals/The-Irony-of-Being-Paul-Buceta.html#comment-35 I enjoy your comments!!! You have an honest way of telling it like it is which is refreshing in this industry. I really can't stress enough that point & wanted to thank you for it. I'll be back to sneak a peek at this "next big thing" But you know it doesn't have to be big... sometimes something small & quiet can be more powerful & the start of a beautiful transformation...I'm sure you know what I mean ;). Thanks again! Have a great 2010!!! Miss.if - Miss.if Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:09:37 +0100
