Suzy = New Reality Show Star????
So whatcha think?? Think I have what it takes?? :) Let me back up and start from the beginning...
July 2nd I read a post on one of my photography forums about this new reality show that they are filming about hey guess what?!? PHOTOGRAPHERS!! :) You can read a little more about it HERE. Anyhow, so I read the post and decide, for kicks and giggles, might as well apply!!! That was at about 2 pm. So I e-mailed the needed information to the casting director and to my surprise...get an e-mail about 2 hours later, inviting me to audition on July 3rd...in LA...that's Los Angeles...as in California...as in the West Coast...as in the OPPOSITE of where I'm at...I sigh and say "Hey, I'm flattered that they wanted me to audition. I'm happy with that." Because of course, there's no freaking way that I could get to LA in less than 24 hours, right??
WRONG...I start telling this story to my best friend Mike Fulton of TriCoast Photography and good friend, Tim of What Is Tim Co and they've decided that I'm going...whether I like it or not...:) Fast forward, MIDNIGHT (technically July3rd) I have a ticket booked to LA. Leaving Tampa at 7AM, arriving in LA at 10AM. Audition at 3pm. Departing CA 9pm and arriving BACK IN TAMPA 6:30AM, July 4th. Yes folks you read that correctly... I was only in Cali for about 11 hours!!! (Sidenote: Anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE ME SOME DEL TACO!!!! Sadly, Floridians are not blessed with Del Taco...So ya'll DAMN WELL know that I COULD NOT go to the west coast w/o scarfing down some yum-yum, delicious big, fat chicken tacos!! I would have taken some pics, but I was ravenous and really was only interested in consuming the yumminess that is Del Taco)
Anyhow...I arrive in Ontario, CA which is about an hour east of LA (think San Bernadino and Rancho Cucamonga) I call my favorite cousin Kim and tell her that I'm in town and the reason for my impromptu visit. I find out that her apt is literally 10 mins away from my audition!!! Now mind you, in my e-mail response I was told to "come looking good and to bring examples of my work" so I had NO IDEA what to expect...
I tried working on the first part of that statement...and the 2nd well....my cousin Kims' AWESOME graphic design hubby, Jawsh rocked it and printed out 6 of my fave images on his Epson and armed me with a protfolio!!
Going into the audition, I was slightly nervous (and by slightly I mean, I think I had Dumbo and all of his friends doing the elephant electric slide in my tummy!!)
Never fear though!! I did pretty well and I think my chances are pretty good of getting chosen!!!
SO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Here are some silly ramblings of the day!!! ENJOY!!
HUGE THANKS to:
my boy Mykey...Thanks baby!!!
Timmy!!
My favorite cousin Kim for letting me come crash!
Jawsh, you freakin rock!!!
And your little sumo son...I can't wait to come visit again!! :)
