Back in the late 80′ and early 90’s I owned a real estate appraisal firm. Interest rates were at all time lows (for that period in history) and the mortgage refinancing business was crazy – and residential appraisers along with it. It was common for me to be at the computer writing appraisals until two or three in the morning.
If I complained about having to work so hard my Dad was a big one for saying, “Got to make hay while the sun shines!” (he was retired) I always felt if he said it one more time I was going to strangle him with my tape measure. (not really of course)
Late summer as a senior portrait photographer is kinda like the appraisal business. We were crazy busy all summer creating fun images and now I have the orders to work on. It means endless hours behind the computer, removing blemishes, softening eye bags and “popping” the eyes. Please don’t mis-understand, I’m not complaining. After all – you gotta make hay while the sun shines.
Enjoy the weekend – it’s going to be beautiful!!
