Greeting to all my faithful followers, loyal friends, and random stumble uponers. I can't believe it's been three months since my last post. So here's an update, and hopefully I'll get back to posting more frequently again.
My June trip to Washington DC was nice... I'd been there twice before when I lived in central Virginia from 2007-2011. But those were day visits. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate; I wasn't able to really do the three things I planned to do while I was there. First, I was hoping to schedule a photo session or two, but my wife had to take a work all hands call in the hotel room on one of the days I was hoping to schedule a photo session. Would have been nice because then I could have written off my airline expenses off as business expenses. Next, I had a ticket to a Nationals/Phillies baseball game, but it got rained out. Lastly, I wanted to walk the National Mall at night and get some night photos, but thunderstorms every night put the kibosh on that idea. I did get up super early one day and got a few photos before sunrise. Surprisingly, the White House is not lit up for most of the night.
Here are a few unedited photos:
July was my best sales month so far for my boudoir photography business. August was slow, and I had to reschedule all but one of my September photo sessions (more on that in a bit). Here are a few sample photos from photo sessions over the past three months
I don't think I mentioned it, but I had the pleasure to shoot with @avrora again this past April while she was traveling in the United States.
More on why I had to cancel all but one of my September photo sessions...
I was in the hospital for almost a week. I was admitted on 31 August 2019 and discharged on 06 September 2019. I had/have a staph infection in my blood. How I contracted it and how it entered my bloodstream remain a mystery. We all know that a staph infection is serious stuff; staph can kill.
I'm at home now, and I'm doing fine now, but, apparently, early on it was touch and go. I have to get antibiotic IVs every 8 hours for at least the next 4-6 weeks. Sounds worse than it really is.
That's all for now.
Stay Tuned,
