  • Putting up with it

    I guess you put up with alot for people you love. And i'm not just talking about those you're romantically involved with, but friends and family.
    My coworker had requested that I take photos of her and her daughter at some parks about a week ago and I put it in my calendar. 
    For the longest time we had wanted to take photos, but she was always busy or couldn't make the time.
    It was coming up to two days before the photoshoot and I looked into her eyes and I could tell something came up.
    She came around to my desk and I knew it and said "Shapadish!" which is something in Portuegese that means "Bad!" or "you're in trouble."
    One of her best friends had sprung her son's bday party last minute and it was right in the middle of the day making it hard to have an afternoon shoot.
    I think normal photographers have a deposit they must charge to people to ensure it hurts a bit to cancel an appointment.
    I don't particularly like what happened, but I guess today isn't a good day to take photos anyways as it is raining and wet and while good for lighting, bad for a child to run around in.

    I had realized how lucky we are to live in an urban area. There are so many grocery stores, malls and businesses in our area.
    There is 3 grocery stores if i go direct west (10 min max drive away), 3 directly north, about 2 to the East, and 1 south.
    That is an incredible amount of grocery stores and options.
    In my area, there are 3 large malls.. 2 are considered one of the biggest and best, possibly in Toronto.
    I sometimes can't imagine living in a smaller city where there is only one of everything, or is missing certain amenities and you need to drive to the next closest city for.

    Man, i'm tired.
