In 2007 I sent around 2500 emails from cherry@suicidegirls.com and cherryvega@gmail.com alone. I'm not even counting PMs on here, flickr, myspace, facebook or any of my personal email accounts. That is about 7 emails a day. This is pretty mind blowing considering:
a. I am really bad at replying to emails and I reckon at least 1/3 of people that write to me don't get a reply on their first attempts or ever.
b. I'm supposed to be a photographer and I don't think many people realise how much of the time we have to physically communicate with people.
c. I had a break from shooting for almost half of the year.
I suppose this shows in a way just how much of our jobs is spent answering emails. This of course doesn't count the time sorting through and reading emails (and not replying to a third. Ooops), reading PMs on websites etc. I could go on for hours.
I am also pretty sure I wrote twice that many emails in 2006 considering I photographed and travelled a lot more in that year. Not to mention from June 2007 I had moved out of the UK and no longer got 20+ emails a day about shooting sets and another 20+ emails a day about other work and nothing much at all.
All this and I really hate writing work emails. I can't explain. Having said that, I'd send an email before ever picking up the phone to talk to someone. Lame, hunh?
Okay, so I am really incredibly boring lately because I haven't been doing much except working pretty solidly. It feels like I've been physically glued to photoshop for a few weeks.
Be sure to watch my videos if you haven't already.

I get so obsessed with things. It seems each month there is something new (and creative) that I'm obsessed with. How do I define being obsessed? Well, it's all I can think about before going to sleep at night and it often keeps me awake. I have tons more video ideas.
It's spring here now, so here is a rather boring (and obvious) photo of a blossom. It's REALLY huge. It was the size of my face and I am not kidding.
Despite the fact that it was so sunny and warm out today last week it snowed, I think I told you that in my last entry, though.
It's seemingly the time when I repeat myself so I'm leaving this here...

Haha, don't worry, I haven't had them in a while actually! And you always cook the yummiest food so I don't think I'll miss them a great deal.
I'm so nervous about the set... so many rejections. Although a lot of girls that submitted after we did got rejected, could this be a good sign? Hm.
Is there anything you want from the UK?
And I still need your paypal so I can transfer your money!! Don't even try not to take it
