Merry Christmas from the Mild West Coast

take a photo on the beach at lunch break??? *wanders off grumbling about crazy editorial staff who decided they needed it yesterday but only emailed me now... HURRY!!*sat and planned for ten minutes... found four willing models on campus and half an hour later wandered back from a glacier rock outcropping above the campus as nobody including me had time to go to the lakesat and played in photoshop for twenty minutes to tweak and shamelessly add water reflections, the layout editor liked it immesily and voila...not a short effort... but i guess every day of newspaper work is this much fun? where do i sign and kiss my waking hours goodbye completely?
