Sometimes it just all clicks

So I had this epiphany.

Sometimes you have to let go of something to make space in your life for something else.

For me, at this moment that couldn't be more true.

LOTS going on. Making some changes to the way that I work and it is paying off. I have been fortunate enough to recently shoot the cover of Premier Guitar with Steve Vai and the cover of Guitar Edge with Atreyu. It was a wonderful and enlightening experience. To be able to work so hard and turn something around so quick is always a rush. Working with both the client (magazine) and artist has been something that I suddenly realized I am very good at. I am thrilled about the way the covers came out and the clients and artists are as well and that makes me a very happy.

I also had the wonderful fortune to have two of my images featured on two full pages of The Times (one image for Sheri Bodell the other for Iron) for the full week of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC. The Times is a daily fashion paper that is the bible of the fashion world. Sheri Bodell has since hired me to shoot both lines for the Fall 2010 collections and I am touched and elated that she wants to work with me again so quickly.

In the midst of this my personal life has changed dramatically. Oddly enough I found when I let go off some really destructive relationships and habits there was suddenly much more room to be creative and thus an avalanche of work.

I am blessed. For all the bitching I do about the economy and state of the business I am lucky enough to make a living at what I do. To be able to walk my dog at 10:30 on a weekday and have a coffee at my favorite coffee-shop. I get to hang out with super creative genius' and in essence get paid to play and create.

I am on the road and the journey so far is amazing.
