Lock Down in Utah
First of all…what is Lockdown?
This is a phrase I have coined that means I am very, VERY busy doing something. (in this case, working on a special project I would like to finish mid to late July…yes thats a hint).
For me Lockdown means:
1. I turn my phone off for days, maybe even a week at a time.
2. I only check my email once a day, but this will be the best way to reach me.
3. I eat as little as possible, sometimes not at all for a day, several times during the week.
4. I do not want to be disturbed.
Lockdown allows me to turn one working day into three working days as there are no distractions. I know sometimes I offend friends and family when I am in lockdown and I please ask you support me while I do this. It is very important for me to stay focused as I want to have this DVD done as soon as possible, with the highest quality possible.
I know there were several clients in Utah that wanted photo shoots that I wasnt able to meet up with last time. If you are interested in a shoot, you can contact me through email, but I will only do 3 or 4 during the whole trip (July 1st-10th) and it is first come first serve. I will still be making posts on the blog, but it may be difficult to reach me by phone. If it is important, please leave a message and I will return it as soon as I can.
First let me say, this is completely a “guy” type of movie, not to say if you are female you wont enjoy it, there are a lot of guns, cars, shooting, violence, swearing, things blowing up, uncontrolled anger and the like. If you liked the Matrix and Star Wars (yes, star wars) you will see a lot of similarities and most likely enjoy this movie. I liked that it focused on character development, which is something most movies of this genre totally ignore, and I could especially relate to how he felt about his boss…I was in a similar situation and it was absolutely the most liberating thing to quit a job I really, really hated. Not for the squirmish or easily offended. 
I just got back from watching Wall-E. It was outstanding and will absolutely be a classic hit. Please do yourself a favor and make sure you do not miss the bonus short before the movie starts, it was equally outstanding and I would imagine both will receive tons of awards. There are lots of messages in the movie, but its not pushy or preachy. Very, VERY well done. 
Everyone…cross your fingers. I had a very positive phone call with Brock Martin of Infinet Design this week. He is the programmer who designed this blog and has a 6 month waiting list for new projects. Brock without question is the most professional web programmer I have ever met. He is fast, has great design ideas, and his websites are super-functional and easy to manage. Brock has also turned me down on at least half a dozen programming projects, simply because he is so focused on what he does best. He is tremendously disciplined in his work ethic.
