twenty-seven years and one million words
I went to the photo.meetup.com thing again. The months sure seem to be flying - I didn't even have any new work to show off this time 'round. There were only three people out this time. One of the others was a fellow starting to earn some cash through his photography. The other was an actress returning to the field after some years away due to illness. She wanted someone to do a head-shot for her, and was hoping that someone would do so for free.
As the other two left together, I can only assume that they were discussing her needs.
Also at the coffee shop where this event happened was a woman looking for her blind date. She said she was there through lavalife.com, and it was her fourth attempt. She'd been stood up new fewer than three times before through lavalife! I have to commend her for keeping at it. I think one would have put me off. When she first turned up, she thought that perhaps I was her fellow. When it turned out that I wasn't, she joined our photo thing for a while. Happily, her guy turned up not long after. I wish them well. I understand that this sort of thing is really taking off. A buddy of mine is even into it, and reports good results, so far. I just can't imagine it, myself.
