A couple of days ago I was driving a company truck along a highway in Oregon. It was not to long after sunrise and I noticed a hot air balloon up ahead of me. A cool sight, but because I was driving on a two lane highway I did not have a spot to stop and pull out my camera, oh well. But as I was watching the balloon I noticed that it was descending, right to what looked like would be an impact on the highway right in front of me. I saw the burners go off a couple of times, but it was still descending. But wait, it looked like it was now going to land in the field to the side of the highway now. I passed by the spot, unharmed, and the balloon was lost from sight in my rear view mirrors. I still do not know if the landed there, or were able to find a softer place to land.
I do wonder how I would have had to explain to the insurance company how a balloon hit a truck!

Friday's Photo Shoot
So, on Friday, yesterday, I met with Sister Cait for a photo shoot. Our first time working together, but not our last. She was very confident, and was safely able to handle the weapons I had brought to the session. Sadly, not all of my armory, We will be collaborating on some themed sessions, in the future. But Friday's session was a getting to know, and seeing how well we worked together. It is very nice to work with a professional. Low res photos will be coming soon.
Future of my Model Photography
Well, I revamped my other account to displaying photos from my sessions with models. Still an early work in progress, but a start. I will be showing thumbnail sets and low-res photos, and will have premium folders with full photos of the professional models sessions that I have shot. https://www.deviantart.com/dragonlustsformaiden I am still exploring various avenues to recoup the cost of paying for the models, and location rentals. Tips from my new job will at least pay for my next photo session. Any helpful input would be appreciated, posted here, or on the other site. I have at least one booking with a local model coming up this month, so stay tuned. Till later!
Life update
Well, as of the end of January, I left trucking. No real gripes with my company, other then the ubiquitous ones most employees have about their companies. No, I was having fatigue burn-out. Not having a set sleeping schedule, and the long hours of driving, was taking a toll on me. In December of last year I noticed I was making fatigue induced mistakes. Small thing at first. It was starting to worry me. On my last delivery, from Washington to South Oregon in January, I was driving in the ice storm. In Washington, I saw where two different cars had slid off the highway. Response was already on site for each. I had a heavy load, and was being slow and careful. Heading south, in Oregon, I saw two semi and trailers on there side, and two jack-knifed. Three semi and trailers that had pulled off to to the side of the highway exit ramp, and had the right side wheels off the edge of the road. They were dangerously tilted to the right, waiting on tow-truck to pull them back to the safety of
50 K wall partial solution
So, I think I have a partial solution to the limit. I have three accounts on here on DA, and the other two are not really in use. One is my poor attempt at a stock site, not updated in years. So, I think I will re-use it as an archive for the images I purge from this site. As to what I will purge, I am looking at my older stuff. Maybe the ones that that were only Faved, but not commented on, first. I will start by backing up the images, for uploading to a secondary DA account. As to when I start, I have already purged most of my Scraps. I may start on my older stuff tonight. It will be an ongoing, and time consuming, process. I will update, as needed.
