Brightroom is a company I've worked with before. They shoot road races and triathlons all around the country. But now they've gone totally digital, hence the reason for the 10D purchase (it's not really a toy, in fact, it's tax deductible).

They called this morning to see if I can work a triathlon in Napa Valley. Of course I can. Not only will be able to spend afternoon in Napa, but Brightroom also pays 60 bucks an hour. If only they had work for me every day, I wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, it's only one day a week at best and 3-4 hours at most. It's the sort of thing that makes me want to start my own business.

Oddly enough I'm also shooting in Napa on Sunday for Action Shooters. I will shoot that same amount time, working much harder because it's baseball instead of running and I will get less than half the amount. It's the sort of thing that makes me want to cry.
