Conguering the Day of Doom

I am so tired right now, we had a full action packed day, with one thing after another, it was hugely productive, let me tell you more about it . . . This morning we had a appointment with the Boyd's ut that fell through due to schedule conflicts, so we ended up going to the temple grounds instead, and I got some beautiful shots. That place just has such a serene feeling once you enter the grounds. But it was around 10 in the morning so the sun was just high enough to hide behind the angel moroni at the perfect angle. AFter that we had our first interview of the day at 12. We were interviewing the Sternekurts. Now, keep in mind we interviewed 4 homes today, when we usually interview just one, so this was quite a feat today, and I won't go into each one in detail because I'm really tired right now and don't want to. Sorry. One thing that really helped our setup is that we had C-stands to hold the lighting instead of mic stands, if you don't know what I'm talking about, C-stands are alot better, sturdier, and efficient-er. After the Sternekurts we went to the Lomas's, then the Golightly's then the Boyd's (we resceduled them for 8pm). It was basically one interview after the other: arrive, set-up, interview, take-down, drive, and repeat. Ashley's friend from San An, Bonnie, helped us with the interviews today and it made our set-up really fast and efficient. And through it all, we had a good time to, Mark observed this evening that a group of people can have a great time doing productive things, as opposed to having a great time and doing nothing productive. Uh . . . yeah, it makes sense, just think about it a little longer. We treated ourselves at the end of the day by eating at the famed HENRY'S PUFFY TACOS!!!!!! It was awesome, I mean, the food was fine, but the actual experience of being there? Incredible. We then returned to Ashley's house after a 14 hour day of filming. Mark further treated himself to a pedicure from Kerrie and Kayla Talbert. His toe-nails are red now . . . I do not sponsor this type of behavior
