Wasting time

Just lingering in cyberspace today avoiding doing the things I should be doing. Like cleaning the house and working on my folio. And emailing the choreographer that I'd worked with in Melbourne. I haven't heard from him in a few weeks, which is a bad sign as I was expecting news of the video and photoshoot of the piece we did. The remount, specifically for the purposes of recording the work has already been put back from mid January to the first week in February. As the choreographer is a friend as well as collegue, he understands how important a visual record of this work is for me at the moment. It's only the second piece of professional work I've done, solo as a designer, so I really need this for my portfolio which hasn't had any new images added in five years. Aside from the break of almost two years to deal with my Mum's cancer, the majority of work I've done since graduating has been assisting other designers - good on the CV, not so good for the folio. I'm expecting either another delay, or worse, that the shoot isn't happening. At the time of the production, things were so rushed (tech rehearsal up to 30mins before opening) that no time was available to record the peice. I made a half arsed attempt by buying a new digital camera, but couldn't get it to pick anything under the lighting states. I'm dogged by this persistant problem of not being able to record my work. In the past when I have organised and paid for photographers, they either haven't listened to what I wanted and so provided nice arty shots that showed fuck all or as in one case, the production manager told the crew they didn't need to attend the photoshoot.

Yes this is a bit of a whinge. And yes, I'm feeling a little sorry for myself.

And procastinating isn't getting my anywhere, obviously.

I think I'm just going to have photography to the list of my accomplishments.
