Oh it took place, that other wedding. It didn't end up being 2nd shooter, but I was the primary. It was tedious and "delicate" until the end, when there was about 500 different combinations of people with the bride and groom. I started taking group portraits at 9pm and the venue kicked everyone out at mid night :P
That was ~500 images and three hours without a break. Lucky the cameras were tripod mounted for this section and the static lights were easy enough to set up.
happiness and existence
These two are often not compatible with one another. I understand what you're getting at here. :) You've got to be somewhat miserable to be able to create anything at all.
superficiality
Is an horrendously long word. I loathe small talk. I want to dive straight into deep, philosophical debates with people that is just (to quote Alanis Moriesette) - intellectual intercourse. That doesn't come often, but I'd argue its just as satisfying as the carnal version.
I've been all over the place the last few days. I've still got another 6 or so days off work, so I've been trying to stay away from a keyboard as much as I can.
All that packed into three hours. That takes patience and organization; respect. I'd literally rip out my eyeballs doing that kind of thing.
😂, you see it.
I'll have to observe myself more closely in the moment to see the degree of miserableness that is present. It's hard to see that in any of my creative processes, with the notable exception of some content I've written for posts.
is also a lengthy word 😂, not that I'm meaning to be obstreperous in noting that.
Deep diving straight into a discourse is satisfyingly delicious. I think of small talk as surfing, snorkling is a bit deeper, and deep diving as levels down to the ocean floor.
Away from the keyboard for a break is excellent regular practice. Off work is precious time.
Fun fact: I can't swim. I go straight to drowning. Easy to get overwhelmed. :)
That's hilarious! I'm not convinced about "easy to get overwhelmed"...not getting that impression at all.
Mainly with people. Mostly with tasks. With conversation and creative endeavours, there's no boundary to the energy I can expend.
Okay, that now makes more sense and matches.
How does it make thin twigs of engineered timber and sulphur / magnesium?
Through alchemical magic. I'm learning from observing @strega.azure.
