Yikes! I freaked out! Tried to to boot it up but it just wouldn’t boot. I called a friend of mine who is a Mac Expert and he tried to walk me through some ideas that he had. Nothing worked. So I took it in to the Apple Store to see what they would say. Sure enough the drive had a catastrophic failure. THey still have it because the new drive hasn’t come in yet.

Now it’s been 3 days without my mac book and I sorely miss it. I picked up a Mac Mini just so I could get some work done as well as editing shots from my shoot with Rose but I miss being able to edit photos or my site, for that matter, from anywhere. It’s amazing how much I miss the portability of the laptop when I don’t have it with me.

The mini has been a great so far and I hope that it continues to be a great computer for home use but it can’t replace my laptop. I hope it gets fixed soon cause I’m goin’ nuts without it! They said 3-5 days but I’m hopeful that they’ll call me tomorrow to say it’s fixed.

I guess I’l have to wait another day

I’ve known her for a few years although we don’t get to hang out as much as I’d like. I was quite nervous going into this shoot because she’s one of my friends. Most other models I’ve worked with I’ve become friends with because of this experiment. So I was worried that she’d be uncomfortable or that it would be weird for her to be seen nude by a friend. I was also worried that I wouldn’t be good enough or that somehow the shoot would go horribly wrong and she’d never speak to me again. Well that was my fear talking, the same fear that kept me from shooting nudes for 15 years.

Well all my fears were proven unfounded. It turned out that because we were friends that we already had a rapport and there were no trust issues. We had complete confidence in each other and that turned out to be a nice bonus on this shoot. This shoot really felt like we were just hanging out and the shots were secondary.

We shot at a location that I hadn’t scouted previously so I was also worried that the location wouldn’t be all that great. So it ended up being a surprise and it also became a shoot about discovering the shots and the moments as we lived them. My favorite way to shoot. that way there can be no preconceived notions and it’s really up to me and the model to find the shots.

We found a couple of really cool trees to play with and on fallen tree that was a lot of fun to work with. We also came across power line towers that were also neat to pose against. There’s just something about metal and skin that I find interesting.

We had a lot of fun and I hope that I’ll be able to work with her again soon.

Aloha,
Jason Tag
