Feb 7th
When I first started Whipps Industries, I knew that my wife was pregnant and that I had a few months to plan for the impending birth. We’ve spent the past few months purchasing all of the little things that you need for a newborn, and I’ve been planning out my schedule so that I can have a little bit of time to spend with the little one. I promised myself a while back that on January 17th I’d have all of my major photography done so that just in case something happened, I’d be able to drop everything and take the wife to the hospital. For the most part, that’s exactly how it’s been working out, but recently I came across some really cool opportunities that I just couldn’t pass up.
For example, tomorrow I’m interviewing a technological giant for one of the publications I work for, and I’m very excited about the opportunity. I’ve also interviewed a professional skateboarder and a MMA fighter in the past few days, and I may even be able to talk to some other major starts in the coming week. All that work is due this Friday – right in line with my personal deadlines – but that’s not the end of it.
Next week I’ll be covering a major event here in Scottsdale for another book, and I’ve been tasked with shooting a cover at the same time. This is a huge honor for me, and although I’ve shot covers before, it’s never something that I take lightly. I’m already planning out locations, ideas and other concepts, just trying to get everything perfect for the shoot.
The following week is fairly mild, but I do have a shoot on January 29th, doing a tech for another book . It’s about learning how to TIG weld, a skill which I’ve always wanted to have, and now I can learn from the masters. It’s going to be a fun shoot to be sure.
The next few weeks are going to fly by, and I know that come February 7th, when my child is due, it’s all going to change. My drive to succeed has been pretty high the past few months, but come that day in February, I’ll have another reason to take my game to another level. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next few months.
