I am so frustrated right now as I'm sure most photographers are at some point in their career (not that this is my career per say, but you get the idea). Vent time, hold on...
As a photographer I can smooth out rough edges, take out splotches and zits, whiten eyes and teeth, and even remove an unfortunately placed tattoo or visible bra strap.
As a photographer I CANNOT make you a size 2 when you're really a size 10, make your face/nose/butt smaller/skinnier, remove extensive tattooing (without it looking like something has been removed)...basically, I can ENHANCE what is already there - I can't CREATE something out of thin air. I am not a plastic surgeon or a magician.
Besides, the photo is supposed to be of you, not what you wish you looked like.
Alright, I've vented - deep breath...
I did have a great weekend with my family despite my children and dogs taking turns throwing up. I even got to eat Thai Food for the first time since we got to Korea! It wasn't as good as Thai Taste in San Antonio, but it scratched the itch.
Speaking of itches, I am sooooo ready to move. It's not that I don't like Korea because I absolutely LOVE Korea and I hope we get to live here again in a few years. It's just that I've been in the military so long that after being in one place more than two years I start to get a little anxious (and my house starts to get a little cluttered).
Hopefully in a few months we'll be boarding that plane headed for SA...
