Friday

Had an exhausting day out shooting today, but I feel I got a lot accomplished! So thats good..
Everytime I'm downtown there is this one store that I frequently pass where the man sells ties and suits and such. I personally do not have a need for any of it, yet the man is always outside and always tries to get you to come into the store! EVERY TIME! So today as I was passing him I did everything I could to try to show that I was not interested (Not making eye contact etc...) and he STILL asked me to come in!
Then it HIT me.. This man must ask EVERY single person that comes by his store whether they are interested or not! MAAYBE this is what I should be doing with my photography business! I mean.. its a bit much I think, but what better way to get your name out then tell EVERY SINGLE PERSON you see whether they could use your service or not? Just a little food for thought that I came across..

Got some great shots of this little man today, although I did not catch his name or his Mommies contact info..  Please email me at toddbedo@gmail.com if you want the full size of any of these as these downsized versions will not print well!
He reminded me so much of my son Aspen I just couldnt resist!
Anyways much more to come from today and who knows what tomorrow will bring!

Mt Daedun

Finally got the chance to work on the pictures from last weekends trip! We took an ITT trip from base to Mt. Daedun about 2 hours away. Our "tour guide" was a 70 year old Korean man who insisted that we all stayed together on the hike. I'm not a huge fan of that idea because, being a photographer, I like to explore and take my time finding sweet spots, but it wasn't too bad. Oh, and this "tour guide" of ours was up the mountain with much less struggle and MUCH faster then most of the people that went with us! It once again backs up my "Koreans make us look lazy" belief!

The mountains there were rugged and beautiful, kind of reminding me of Sedona, Arizona. When Ashley and I were stationed there we hated it so much because of the lack of seasons and the desert and all that, but honestly I am really starting to miss it. Maybe its just because I am here alone and it is no fun, or just the fact that my dorm room is making me go crazy. Just THREE more months and I will be back where I belong holding two people that mean the world to me.. I am starting to get anxious!

Anyways a little more about the hike..
At one spot there was a bridge that crossed peaks and you could feel it swaying in the wind! Most people were practically running across it in fear, but of course not me! I was standing in the middle of it taking pictures of course..

There was also this AWESOME staircase that you are only allowed to climb up, as it was too steep and narrow to have people climbing down as well! It was quite the experience and I'm not going to lie, stopping, turning around, and taking a picture back down while on this staircase was kinda creepy! But, of course I did it..

I posted some more of the pictures from the trip on our Facebook if you would like to see!

Going to do some marketing this weekend if all goes well and hopefully be able to land some portrait sessions to use for our portfolio and upcoming website! Hope you all have a great weekend!
