Update tomorrow.
I finally finished writing copy and got to bed around 5:30 am last night. Was up and at 'em by 10:15, starting the photography for the update. In general, just photographing takes about 4-5 hours. For this update, it took 6. After that comes photo-editing, which is basically going through all the photos (1,000+) selecting 3-5 for each necklace and 2-3 for each pair of earrings. Cropping, color-correcting, renaming so they're easy to locate when updating. Since I've been using Jason's more recent version of photoshop than my ANCIENT copy of Photoshop 7, I managed to do all of that in about 4 hours where it would otherwise have taken me about 6. (My new camera also helps here, since my pictures aren't coming out blue to begin with.) I worked for about a solid 11 hours today on the update, and took quick meal breaks as well as a break to discuss repair assignments with a local jeweler, who dropped by to pick up completed work and drop off new things.
After writing for 5 hours last night, and now all of this, my hands are crampy and sore. Rather than put myself through the torture of 3 hours of updating tonight, I'm calling it. I want tea and nutella and a kitty cat, okay? Update will be tomorrow night, beginning approximately 7pm Eastern.
There are, however, lots of promo shots over at my flickr. Here's one:
GOODNIGHT, ALL.
