First offf, photographing Sarah was a blast, but I wish I'd met her a year later, once I had a digital camera in my kit. Oh, back then I was happy to use Polaroid and medium format, but going back to this day, I've only got, what, a dozen images? I want more! I want to have photographed her without limitation!
Back then I scoffed at the ease and bounty of digital cameras. But I was young! I didn't know any better! Mine was a false god! It bugs the shit out of me that these are the only photographs of Sarah I have, that the other opportunities to photograph her I was either all out of space on my memory card or too exhausted to head over to her side of town.
Say yes to everything! Do things despite exhaustion! Carry extra memory cards, if possible! They were expensive, back then!

Had a photo session the other day, not much to say about it, no great adventure, just people chatting, taking pictures, having a pleasant afternoon.
Saw that I'd never written about this day with Ani, because it was much the same. Met at her apartment, back when she was living in a grand apartment in Los Feliz (which I never photographed, shame on me), we walked around, as we did for several of our sessions, chatted about life and such.
It can lead to good photos, though it becomes secondary to spending time with another human being.
I'll find myself frustrated during a session, because the photos aren't popping...need to remember that, if I can make the engagement pop, connect with the subject, the photos will follow.
Like they did on this day.
