first (real) photo shoot EVER!

so my travel has been confirmed. I am going to LA for my first shoot ever. well technically my first photo shoot was a piece of notecard in a studio. But i will forget it like how i forgot the person to whom i lost my virginity.

It started almost a month ago when I had my review with Marcia. She said i need to work on my concepts more and also slow down so i could pay more attention to details. She thinks my ideas are pretty confining. And she told me that we are a big agency and we have a ton of money. So I need not worry about budget or anything. Just focus on the idea. If it's good, the agency will do whatever it takes to make it real. I think she sees through me and she nailed it. And I brought to her attention that I do not have a writer so things sometimes can be quite tough. So the next day she gave me an assignment with a team (Jason and Michael). At first I was very intimidated cos they are a senior team and I am a newbie of 6 months. And I have seen ads that they have done. Anyway it turns out they are fun to work with and I didn't feel pressured at all. Anyway we sold our idea and then we went ahead to choose a photographer. And yea we are going to LA. Well at first it was doubtful because they usually send only one AD to the shoot. So they needed to figure out where to get money to cover my trip. Anyway Marcia figured everything out and I am on my way to LA!
