I’m running behind! 😭
This is my office. My dark, hot office, currently running off a 50-foot extension cord plugged into our garage, our only source of power for the last week.
Long story short, we lost power when our electrical service was damaged and the transformer failed, literally burning the box to a crisp. Because it’s such a major repair, everything has to be inspected and approved by the city before power can be restored. Living in a tourist town during peak season, in the middle of a heat wave, hasn’t exactly helped move things along.
All that to say, my editing queue is starting to back up. I can do some things, like culling, cropping, and removing distractions, anytime. But I rely on consistent, natural light when I’m making final color and exposure adjustments, and working in a dark house has really limited the hours I can do that accurately.
If you look out the window from my office today, you’ll see a big utility truck that pulled up about an hour ago. We’re crossing our fingers that everything gets approved and the lights come back on today.
My normal turnaround is about three weeks for family and senior sessions and six weeks for weddings. If you’re right around that timeframe, your gallery is likely almost finished, but it may end up being a few days later than usual.
The good news is that as soon as the power is back, I’m planning an editing marathon to get caught up as quickly as I can.
Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. Now let’s hope today is finally the day! 🤞
