*****HUNGER GAMES*****
So I am trying to gauge a good time for the Hunger Games shoot. How does the last weekend in June or the first weekend of July look for everybody? It would take place Friday, Saturday, or Sunday late afternoon and evening. Otherwise, the next availability I have won't be until September.

I'm alright waiting for September, as it would be a bit cooler and give people more time to finish costumes/recruit more characters. Thoughts?

The Enthusiasts are a great group, and I'm still in a bit of shock to have been accepted. Ohayocon was my first official con with them, and it was fantastic meeting Nick and the others.  I even got my own photo assistant, which was lovely. Made me feel all official and business-like. (Hi Andrea!)

It's rather amazing. Two Ohayocons ago, I made the daunting leap from my poor arthritic Nikon CoolPix to an SLR camera. Felt like trading in roller skates for a Mustang, and I was nervous.

Of course such figures are a bit arbitrary. Fancy high numbers ending in "0" do not guarantee quality. There are bad cuts, weird lighting, and a multitude of sins in the older shots.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch the ball drop in NYC... from the safety of my own living room. What? You think I'm going to ACTUALLY go stand in the cold for four hours straight? I like to start the year HAPPY, not with frostbite. :P

Best wishes for the New Year! ]]> http://beautifulbyebye.deviantart.com/journal/It-s-all-beautiful-here-she-said-230684611 http://beautifulbyebye.deviantart.com/journal/It-s-all-beautiful-here-she-said-230684611 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:40:24 PDT It's all beautiful here she said... nonadult journals/personal BeautifulByeBye http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/beautifulbyebye.jpg?2 Copyright 2009-2013 ~BeautifulByeBye

I know there are Ohioans reading this, so:

SAVE OHIO LIBRARIES
http://saveohiolibraries.com/

If this legislation passes, many libraries will have to close. A world without books is no world at all! Voting is on the 30th, speak up now!

If you are not an Ohioan, please pass this on anyway - a link, a journal, anything. We need all the help we can get!

FURTHER RANT:

I have always been a voracious reader, the latest in a long line of proud bibliophiles. A trip to my local branch was the highlight of each week. Every time I walked through those wood doors, an eager shiver danced down my fingertips.

Also - I got to do a photoshoot with the fantastic :iconElemental-Sight:

Turns out she's another huge Kino's Journey fan, so I ended up hauling Kino to Chicago. (My favorite costume and my favorite photographer - I'm still in a bit of shock!)

Why BeautifulByeBye? Mostly because all variants of ByeByeBeautiful (my user name in other forums) have already been taken. And no, I'm not at ALL bitter that ALL of those accounts seem to have been abandoned. I see you, random teenager in Canada who stole my user ID! :shakefist:
