A Million Words

1 Million words. That’s a mouthful! But, if the old adage is true, and a picture really IS worth 1000 words, then 1 million words is exactly what we have after this weekend’s photo shoot! That’s right for those of you who can count, 1000 pics of Life Stage were taken just this past Saturday afternoon! Can you believe it? We almost can’t either. But believe it or not, we actually fell SHORT of our goal by ONLY taking 1000 pictures this weekend – by over 50%! Yeah, we really needed to take around 2400 photos, but due to memory card mixup, we didn’t have enough space to continue. awwww…

BUT, we’ll make due…

So, you ask then, WTF with all the pictures??? Well, we say, that’s a great question, and we’re glad you asked!!! So glad in fact, that we’re ACTUALLY going to tell you why we need so many freakin photos, and here it is:

- We’re making a music video!

“Oh a music video?! Oh wow coool totally awsome!” (done in best eric cartman voice)

But WAIT. What does making a music video have to do with all those damn pictures?

WELLLL, again, we’re glad you asked. (and for those of you who already know the answer, please don’t shout it out. you’ll ruin it for the others…) Basically, what we’re gonna try to do (even with far less photos than we hoped for) is create like a really old-timy, 8fps camera recreation effect, the cheap way – by just creating a really quick slide-show of sorts with all the pictures we took, matched up with our music! I know, cool right? Well, we think so. And anyways, we’re not completely 100% sure all this is going to work out just yet, but we’re hopin! So keep your eyes peeled for that to roll in sometime soon!

And other than that, we really just thought we owed you all an explanation of why we didn’t blog this weekend, and that’s it. After 1000 photos, we needed a recoup day… or two.

Finally, we’ll be posting some of the shots from this weekend intermittantly (if that’s how you spell that), so look for those, and give us as close to 1000 words as you can… or 100… or 10… ok 5!… but they better be good! Looking forward to hearing from you!
