Breast Reduction [Part 2]- SIX-Week Update - New 6 week photos

Hi MissA! That's great news! Did you like hom? Did you get a good feeling from him? Make sure you let us know the minute you find out about insurance (in case we don't hear you scream in joy!)

It's a lot more real now, isn't it? Congrats on another completed step!

Katie!!!! I saw your note two days ago, but have been shooting out of town for two days and have forced myself to ignore it until now when I'd have a few moments to actually THINK.

Your new photos are scary-gorgeous! I truly didn't think things had any way to improve. Clearly, I was wrong. WOW.

And so cool about the photo business. I give you MAX a year before you're doing it full time. Okay, no...tough business....18 mos....but that's MAX. That's so exciting and brave. How many people have a passion and never have the nerve to put it out there and try to make something of it? The fact that you've gone this far means you're destined for success. Seriously, congratulations!

I am, indeed, feeling like a new person. I'm still not used to catching myself in a store window and not immediately trying to force the image out of my mind. Yesterday, I was shooting in an automotive parts plant (ahhhhh yes...the glamour!!) and it was 37 degrees C (that's 98.6 Farenheit) and I was dying to take my jacket off. After about 30 minutes of this b.s., sweating my $%!@@ off, it suddenly dawned on me that I could. I still get several of those "wow" moments a day (admittedly, yesterday's was much bigger than usual) and they're like a series of little gifts that get distributed throughout my daily life. I really don't see that sense of wonder ever stopping, either.

I'm so glad you're doing well and are happy - if insanely busy now, trying to find time for everything - but that's GOT to be SUCH a "good" busy that I don't really have any sympathy at all :) - and hope that you still check in here once in a while. Your words, perspective and experience never fail to inspire. They almost make up for the insane boob-jealousy you spread throughout the forum....kind of like that GOOD intestinal bacteria we keep hearing about. (You're welcome!)

Don't get discouraged if things seem TOI busy and you feel too stretched from time to time. You can and will make a go of the photography business. Just keep the long view. And please don't forget the little people when you're sitting on top of the world. And get a better business manager than Annie Liebovitz, for God's sake! xxoo

Only the first line of my freaking replies are coming up...wtf? Glad you're doing so well Bama; great news!

lol!
