Day 1
My first day here was a whirl wind. I got to the ship around 11am, I think, and was brought to my cabin to unpack. Soon after I got to the cabin my roommate joined me and answered some questions and told me about the place. I didn't have much time to unpack so most of my stuff is still in bags. I got into my uniform... khakis and black button down and then we went to get some lunch. The rest of the day was taking photos of the guests coming on board for the first time (embarkment photos). Later we went into the gallery and set some stuff up. When we set sail, My roommie and I went to the deck to shoot some photos of the guests.
At this moment I knew I was rusty on the whole digital camera thing.... I am a film girl.. mostly a medium format one at that and my camera of choice is my Hasselblad.
The first day was kinda a blur since I was running on 3 hours of sleep because I didn't finish packing until 3:30am the day I was leaving home. And tanks to my big sis for helping me or it would have been later.
Okay. Day 2
This was the first Formal night we had on the ship and my first time to do anything. Talk about hitting the ground running. I got to learn a little on how to set up the studios and a crash course on doing dinning room photos. Once I got into doing all this my self, with a little guidance from the team, I was remembering all the stuff I used when I did portraits all the time. It was like riding a bike... except I fell off a couple of times... :-)
I think I impressed the manager some by the knowledge I have, which seems to be good. Oh... and it was my birthday also. I will post some pics of all the team with my little cake they got. It was actually quite funny.
So far this is the break down of my days. It is pretty rocky today and sitting still isn't the best thing for anyone. Till tomorrow or the next day!
