So I blogged on Saturday about how I smished up my car. It’s really not bad, I’ve been driving it around. Tomorrow I take it into the shop to start repairs, so I thought I’d take some photos. But it was already dark outside.
Could I just be like any normal person and put my point & shoot in flash mode? Of course not! I’m too much of a dork for that! I pulled out the Zack Arias method and used a flash, a light stand, a bounce umbrella, two pocket wizards, and my best camera equipment.
Yes, I had two people stop on the sidewalk to watch me, and several cars drove by very slowly. I’m sure they were like “how can you shoot a hot model on the hood of a car…if there’s no hot model? we are waiting for a hot model!”
It took about 10 minutes shooting plus 10 minutes processing (including the time it took to decide on a new license plate)…and that’s probably waaaay too long. 
So, here’s my smished up car, prior to taking her into the shop. (Sorry honey! No more figgies while driving you!)
It’s been kind of a long stressful week, so this was the kind of humor I needed.
