Archive - June 2007 Ok.... My camera has fresh batteries and is staring at me....Posted Jun-26-07 15:19:44 PDT But I just don't feel like taking clothing pics today. Somebody please nudge me lol. Tried caffeine for a kick. How long does that take to start making me feel like doing something? Let's see... To procrastinate so far I have gone to the store, cleaned my desk off (good enough) and had a snack...Um drank some iced coffee and started this blog post. At least I am productivly procrastinating haha. Oh and I read the eBay stores message board. Does that fall under the business research category of productivity? Yes, I think it does indeed lol. Hey look, a camera!! ....Yes I know.. I hear you camera. I mean it's digital. It's not like I have to put a roll of film in it like the "old" days and go to the corner store and have it developed and wait a week only to find my finger was covering the lens on half of them. I could have had about 7 items photographed by now. Hey, even procrastinators need to vent. I know I'm not the only one out there. Can somebody share the secret to motivation? Let me see if I can devise a motivational plan for eBay photography. (Strictly for fun guide) Please no comments saying "oh my God she didn't even go over setting camera F stops and lighting!! Ok... Let's see about setting the energy mood. Step 1. Put on some energetic fun music Step 2. Sneer at camera (snarling optional) Step 3. Repeatedly change channel on Yahoo radio for just the right song Step 4. Try and think of step 5 Step 5. OH yeah that's the right song...Now turn it UP! Step 6. Too busy singing to #5 Step 7. Ok down to business. Get your items together that you want to photograph. Try and set a realistic goal like 10 items. Remember this is a "procrastinators" guide. We don't want to go overboard and all that. Step 8. After changing the music yet again, go ahead and get your lighting/setting ready. Step 9. Take a test shot of your first item. Check your lighting Step 10. Ok next items. Keep up the pace. You can do eeeet! Step 11. If you hate the song, change music again now if need be. Step 12. Stop making/reading this list and start taking pictures. This completes my first 12 step procrastinators listing motivational program. Best of luck! ~ Jax ps. C'mon caffeine...start working!!! |
