It’s a goal that will have to wait a little while to come true…
Knowing Me
If you know me you know that I’m too much a free spirit to be trapped into an everday schedule such as a full time everyday job.
“Freedom…woah Freedom. That’s just some people talking”
Something that i’ve cherished so much the last few years has been the knowledge (and capacity) that I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. If someone called to do a photoshoot for the next day… I could be there. If someone wanted to go camping over a weekend and I didn’t have a photo shoot… I could be there and even leave thursday.
If I had a wedding in another state I could extend the stay for a couple of days to take pictures of the surroundings.
The Barren Winter
Well I traded in that freedom for a little bit of nececity. (Of the green paper persuasion)
Turns out that in Utah no one gets married during school time. At least in the circles where I run.
Come christmas, spring or summer there’s a whole slew of folk getting hitched
… but not for now. The temples and wedding halls are barren.
It’s gonna get tricky come christmas break when I only have 2 days of holiday but I already have 4-5 weddings planned (and it’s not even november) This is a problem I am more than happy to face.
I guess the moral of the story for those whom are reading… get engaged and call me or let all of your friends know.
Let’s call it the FREE SCOTT campaign.

MY JOB
In reality I do like my job.
I work inside of a mountain for the LDS church. I scan microfilm.
I had to get a nice new car to get me there… being that it’s 40 miles each way.
The Problem
But it seems like I only have about 4-5 hours a day to exist 5-10pm.
And that doesn’t cut it… and to any of you that think I’m spoiled well perhaps you should start wondering what you’re doing… I’ve got way to much stuff to do with my life to only have 5 hours of my own time.
My dream: The Explore the World Foundation and the corresponding Envision the World Project
Or even more here and now: I did bridal pictures the other day and it took 6 days to get the pictures sorted, edited and uploaded. That’s not very long typically for photographers but for me that’s a really long time.
Dealing… In a positive way
But I make do… I am able to listen to my MP3 player and I double task by listening to talks, podcasts, language lessons and some music…. thus making it time that is also beneficial to myself.
Other perks: Extra Money, Helping out the Family History work, and access to the New Family Search
Plus it’s a great working environment, cool to say I work inside a mountain and I’ve done this kind of work before and I’m good at it.
