X-it Sky Right and Left

This was some fancy air acrobatics by a couple of the Thunderbirds at last weekend's air show.

Busy preparing for my big birthday weekend. Who am I kidding? We have no plans yet...can't even find a sitter. Last year was totally funky in that we were camping and on vacation for my birthday. I did get to eat some ice cream so that was good.

I've decided that my dream job is to be an event photographer. I come alive behind the lens at events...capturing the flavor of it. I love to people watch and events are great for that and for street shots. So so wish I could get paid to do my dream gig. I think maybe the stress of it being a job would maybe rob me of the joy. Who knows?

Update: We got a sitter! I'm going out for my birthday. Yeah!

Great timing and capture Amanda...

I agree with your thoughts on pressure taking the fun out. I don't even like to tell the (not immediate) family that I like taking pictures - right away, there are so many expectations that completely change the atmosphere for me. Nice photo here!

Fabulous

@vera365 My sis in law wants me to take photos of the cousins during our short visit this summer...makes me so nervous.

I was going to tell you to drop the kids off at my house!!! You could really have a vacation and a few days out!!!! Glad you will be able to go have some adult time and fun too!
Love this capture!!! I could NEVER do the stunts! I can't drive worth a toot so I can't imagine being behind the wheel/bars/ whatever it is, taking control of an airplane!! Does look like fun to be a passenger and do a lot of screaming!!! FAV!

Nice capture . So what do you plan on doing for your birthday? When is the cruise?
Happy Pre- Birthday

Happy upcoming birthday. You had some super timing here... these birds were moving, so nice shot! Glad you scored a sitter, too.

Wonderful capture!

Very fancy! Nice capture!!

@lesip Dinner out and a movie perhaps. Cruise is in early August.
June 26th, 2015  
FAV. Your narrative is great and so is your shot. An event photographer would be fun. I had my first paid photo gig this week - it is much easier making money practicing law.
June 26th, 2015  
Great shot Amanda
June 26th, 2015  
@soboy5 What kind of gig did you do? I think I prefer events to people. Less pressure there. No posing.
June 26th, 2015  
@amandal I did a group photo of a local fire department. My first paid photo gig! (free lunch on the last photo gig does not count as payment - lol).
June 26th, 2015  
Totally amazing capture....just beautiful and a huge, huge fav. Lots of photo ops for event photographers in the Orlando area and so many new attractions since you left. Better move back down :-)
June 26th, 2015  
@cimes1 Too sweaty just thinking about it;-). I'm so happy where I am, but O-town is nice to visit!
June 26th, 2015  
@amandal Well you, hubby & kids can always be snowbirds. Just need to find a quaint gulf coast cottage to while away your winter days (wishful thinking, huh?). Happy upcoming birthday!
June 26th, 2015  
Super capture fav!
June 26th, 2015  
Super action capture. Fav!! πŸ˜ƒ
June 26th, 2015  
What a job to have! Can you imagine being paid to fly one of these? Great capture!
June 26th, 2015  
@skipt07 Seems like a huge rush!
June 26th, 2015
