New York is crazy
New York is simply another world. The crowds, the people, the tourism, the traffic, the mass transit system, it’s all different.
It’s cold. Can’t survive here unless you keep warm during the winter.
Got here this morning on a red-eye flight arriving at 7AM. It was a horrible flight on which it was impossible to get any real sleep. My energy levels died around 11AM here EST and I couldn’t function for the next 3 hours.
Incidentally I have been having a hell of a hard time figuring out my Nikon CLS TTL system. I don’t use TTL much and it’s hard for me to understand whether or not I’m achieving the proper exposure with the flash system… I must have taken 200 test shots today and I still couldn’t answer all my questions. I blame most of this on simply being too tired to perform simple logic.
Photography-wise, today was a bust. My batteries on the flash died and I learned today that I’m not a good “run-and-gun” photographer. How the hell am I supposed to shoot a wedding if I can’t get good shots on the go? Gotta practice more tomorrow.
