This is what I eat when I'm really tired.

1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
2 small cans sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
half an onion

Sauté the onion until caramelized. Add in garlic and mushrooms, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Salt and pepper to taste, simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve.

Photos from yesterday's wedding are now up at thereversedlens and the official RLP blog (http://reversedlensphotography.blogspot.com).

It's time for the bottom to drop out. I just hope I don't get sick this weekend with all the crap we're doing.

Also, it'd be nice if we could pick up a couple *large* bags of rice this weekend.

It was a good week for us last week.

First of all, we had two wedding consults. One booked immediately (A Monday wedding for next season;) and the other one seemed pretty solid. I have high hopes that we're going to see the second pan out. Both gave us a good indication of where our advertising dollars are paying off, too -- invaluable info for us.

We also had two viewing sessions last week. Both families came in fully expecting to spend a good deal of coin on purchases after the fact. Both ordered over $1000 worth of product. Final orders aren't in quite yet, but we had orders for an amazing amount of product this week. Those two orders just paid for our TV. It also means we'll probably be getting that new lens sooner than expected.

Woo. Too much going on for me to keep track of it. We find out for sure on the second wedding consult on Wed. Thursday night is also another consultation -- this time for another Bat Mitzvah.

Keep talking about us, people! We're getting there!

Em and I are already gearing-up for the next couple of weeks, which promise to be quite busy:

- Em and I have a portfolio shoot scheduled for tonight so we can get some good examples of senior pictures. That starts almost immediately after I get done with work.

- Tomorrow, we're going to the pumpkin patch at Sauvie Island (just west of Portland) and then have a total of 3 shoots for the day, two paid, one unpaid. All three are family shoots.

- I'm taking Thursday and Friday of next week off so I can, hopefully, do some shooting and go to some classes about the new D300.

- Next Saturday (11/3) is a benefit event for Write Around Portland that we're shooting as a service to them (and as a favor to a friend of ours). We need to find a babysitter for this still.

If any of you are in the Bay Area, we will be traveling there for the week of Thanksgiving. If you're interested in doing a shoot, please let me know and we can set something up.

Yes, I know it's a mouthful.
