I guess on Jan 28th and 29th I will be hanging out with Deidre Downs for the two days taking photographs and video of her and former Miss Americas at a workshop here in Albuquerque. Diedre Downs is the current Miss America, NOW we both know. As a photographer you get some pretty amazing gigs,and you never know what kind of business the next phone call will bring you. Pageant season started this month and I now am working with Miss New Mexico USA Jackie Deaner and several other national pageant contestants.
I have a wedding today and had to turn down a pageant gig in another city. It came down to photographing 10-20 beautiful women or paying the bills! Paying the bills wins everytime, I had a chance about 10 years ago to go to Hawaii
and photograph drop dead gorgeous women in swimsuits on a beach during the Hawaiian Tropics finals or make $2500 at a wedding.......and again the money won!
Running a business is a hard venture and making money is what has kept me operating for over 15 years,while several hundred photographers in that 15 years or so have opened a photography business only to fold and close down in under a year! When people go to my website and see the Visa and Mastercard logo they then know that I am not a person taking photographs for free.............so MOVE YOUR CHEAP ASS ON!
Last night hung out with Beat24 we meet at Hooters for a couple of beers then I took him on a tour of the Albuquerque nightclubs downtown.Showed him the ultimate SG girl... Asia one of the club dancers, and he has been with SG for a long time and agreed Asia is a perfect SG girl but doesnt quite know it yet. I told her about the site and she may not have a computer. Found ZERO,NADA,NONE............. Maxim models last night but had a great time networking and seeing my friends in the various clubs. As we walked out of the nightclub OPM last night about 5-6 gunshots rang out about 30 yards from us, I guess from a moving vehicle. Its funny how some people ran for cover and some us just stood there not even fazed by it!.......nightlife you gotta love it!
