Long Days and Full Flash Cards


Last week was even busier than the week before, with four straight days shooting for the Catholic Health Association in Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Joliet and Frankfort, and three days shooting for Provena St Joseph Hospital in Elgin (new hospital tower opening events), as well as two track meets. Today I've been crunching through over 3000 pictures, editing them and processing the RAW images into JPGs.

The CHA shoots were almost all shot under existing light, something I don't normally do. It was necessary, though, to be able to squeeze in as many shots as possible for the client. All in all, we got a number of good shots. I enjoyed working with the many residents and medical staff we shot with. We must have collected over 150 model releases.

On Friday I shot a track meet for Wheaton College, shooting for seven hours. I never thought I'd fill my 12GB flash card, but it happened. I also used most of my two 2GB cards. From 1,076 pictures, I reduced that number down to 467 this morning.
