Being self-employed means I'm constantly working. Insomnia? Might as well work.

So tonight (or this morning. Not sure which it is right now,) I was backing up my photo archive--specifically my event archive, containing a lot of NJYP events.

I mean, A LOT.

No, seriously, there's quite a few.

Okay, I think this is all of them....

No, this is the Last one... (Ironically, the first NJYP event I sho...

Oops! Here's another.

And another.

Funny thing: now that I'm single again, I've been going to a lot more NJYP events as an attendee, not as the photographer, and "meeting" a lot of people that I know I've seen before but who haven't seen me. Looking at the photos tonight, I've discovered why: unless you joined in the last six months or so, I probably have a photo of you on my computer.

And backed up.

Twice.

In fact, at an event in April, when I was trying to place a guy I was talking to, it suddenly clicked in my head, and I blurted out, "Oh, I know why you look familiar! I've taken your picture! With all the editing and backing up and everything I do for event photos, I've probably seen your face a dozen times or so, at least!"

Yeh, that wasn't awkward or creepy at all.

Poor guy.

If nothing else, the fact that no one seems to recognize me when meeting me again at an event when I'm there as an attendee is a testament to how awesome I am as an event photographer--people don't remember meeting me, even after I've shouted over the din to "get closer! Like you're not terrified of each other!" and made them stand next to people they just met while I shoot them over and over again to make sure the shot comes out right.

At least, that's how I choose to take this new discovery. :D
