"One cannot have everything the way [they] would  like it. A [person] has no business to be depressed by a disappointment, anyway; [they] ought to make up [their] mind to get even."

-Mark Twain

Some shots from yesterday that came out OK:

What I learned and moving forward:

Yesterday's shoot was very rough and left me feeling troubled. I ended up feeling much anxiety, and had a really rough night. But in the wee hours of the night several ideas came to me.

IDEA 1:  I could be using a cloth background instead of the 30 pound paper setup. Haven't tried it yet and I got PLENTY of cloth.

IDEA 2: I don't have to show my entire body. If I limit the shoots to just portraits it frees up my legs. With a simpler shoot, I can work faster and do more.

IDEA 3: If this camera proves faulty beyond reason, I can invest in a tripod designed for my phone. A much cheaper solution (in the interim) than getting a new camera entirely. And let's face it I know my phone quite well. Very easy to use.

Now if you'll excuse me I have some cloth to select...
