What are YOU doing this weekend ??

[wholenewlight]

Just a thought . . .

Challenge!

Since a bunch of our locally famous admins and "answer" gurus (andy, sid, humungus, steve, baldy, others) are off visiting Ansel's haunts & Yosemite's valleys (yosemite thread link (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=10812)), I thought it might be a fun idea to post our weekend activities. Yeah, I'm jealous of them but I've got a pretty great weekend planned myself. How about you? :dunno

Now here's your challenge . . .

Post a paragraph or two of your weekend plans including photo activities. And by the way, if you have a boring weekend on the calendar, the rules of this "challenge" allow you to exaggerate, inflate, magnify, or overstate your actual weekend plans - maybe something like: the dept of the Navy called me and want me to ride 2nd seat with the awesome Blue Angels and shoot pics for which I will be highly paid . :wink Of course, you might be asked to post your pics on dgrin!

Let's make those Yosemite trekkers jealous :thumb

My daughter is completing her 4 year university education at West Chester University near Philadelphia. Her major is Sports Medicine and Athletic Training. Graduation is Saturday morning and of course as a proud dad, I'll be taking pictures! She wants to continue her education and become a certified prosthetist - fitting and making artificial limbs for amputees.

Saturday evenning I'm shooting an event at Hempfield High School (Landisville, PA) called Dance Theater. It's a amazingly professional, 3 hour, big budget broadway type stage performance. Here are a couple of shots from a previous year's show:

Tonight is Cinco De Mayo - I'll be shooting photos at Forte in Birmingham, MI while the DJs play.:rofl

Friday I have a model shoot with 2 people.

:clapSaturday Crystal Method will be performing at Bleu in Detroit and I'll be taking photos during that show.

Sunday will be spent processing photos & contact management.

Yosemite sounds great, and being around great photographers even better. I'm still learning through self experience at the moment.

I'll be photographing a regional kart race. Hoping the Mother's Day weekend doesn't impact the enrollment. I already know my two best customers will not be racing for this very reason. :(

I will be deploying my own mini Hubble Space Telescope made form an old Canon lens a toilet roll and some sticky backed plastic.

If the weather is clear I'll have a thread going with some results.

Keep watching for the 'How to make and deploy your own Hubble Space Telescope' thread...

Lucky me - I get to work! Retail, selling lots of bikes for Mother's Day. But we might as well just call it earning more "Lens money." :rofl

Oh yes, the photo activities. Right now the battery is charging. Hopefully the weather Sunday will allow a few frames.
