follow I’ll be writing a weekly blog post over at Chi Wulff in a series titled “Dispatches from Craig.”  The series will detail the ins-and-outs, the odd little bits about a summer spent working on one of the most productive fisheries around.

https://www.elevators.com/dexgczrf81z The first post went up today; once more I’m excited to be on one of the busiest fly fishing blogs in the world!

Priorities

https://danivoiceovers.com/rvdm9hje5tm First day off since starting at Headhunters.  I’ve spent the morning catching up on email correspondence and running errands, including setting up a safety deposit box at the little local bank here in town.  (I was happy to learn they even had safety deposit boxes.)

https://www.marineetstamp.com/xgxummqdy45 I need a place to store backup hard drives as I’m not entirely sure my apartment won’t burn to the ground one day.  Clothes be damned, the photo files and camera gear are what really matter.

https://dcinematools.com/2l0fq2269u Doing some limited home improvement today (more like home correction, but whatever) and slowly the place is becoming more and more livable.  Internet makes a world of difference as I can continue FGP business late into the night after a long day at the shop.  Who says I can’t manage clients while curled up in a cot in the middle of Montana?

go You gotta do what you gotta do.

https://geolatinas.org/kiv306kuug When I’m on a project, I’ve found priorities tend to get kind of warped.  Food?  I can just grab a can of beans or a Clif bar for dinner.  Laundry?  I can wash it in the kitchen sink – no need to go to the laundromat and spend money.

click here I’m settling in here on the Missouri, and even made it out for a few casts after work yesterday.  The crew is bringing me up to speed on the business – the ins-and-outs of everything we carry in the shop, running shuttles, housekeeping in the cabins… lots to learn.  It seems like every time I turn around there is some new skill to learn, a new fly to check out, a new drop to drive a shuttle to.

Order Tramadol Paypal And that’s the way I like it.

follow I was reminded last night that the Missouri is far different from the waters I am used to.  It’s very humbling.  I’m looking forward to the day I can head out and feeling fully confident in my ability on the water.  But that’s what I like about this; it’s a learning process.  There is always something new to learn – you can never master it all.

https://purestpotential.com/7qn1khr3 Slowly I’m settling into the apartment – working out some rather impressive housekeeping issues along the way.  Note to self: it’s always a good idea to physically visit housing before renting.  One would think I would have learned this by now.

click Today was a rather chilly, snowy day in Craig.  Cosy.  Temperatures danced in the 20s, snowflakes fluttered by and a chilly wind made it feel much colder than it really was.  Fishing reports continue to be stellar, however, and we have calls from people all over the place as they plan their trips for the season.

Ordering Tramadol Online Cod So much of the fun of this gig is going to be meeting all the people who converge on the Missouri in pursuit of a shared passion.  It’s rare that you can have lawyers and grocers in the same bar, the same shop, the same river take out, talking animatedly to one another about something they both love.

https://alldayelectrician.com/e1o7khb The summer is booking up to be quite busy, and I’m looking forward to it.  Looking forward to meeting some of you, as well!

Bunking Up on the Missouri

Can U Get Tramadol Online by Fire Girl Jess on March 14, 2013

https://mocicc.org/agricultura/g3i3xmslra cot_roomI made it into Cascade yesterday and am slowly settling into what will be home for the coming eight months.

Foggy Morning on the Puget Sound

Tramadol Rx Purchase by Fire Girl Jess on March 10, 2013

https://www.mbtn.net/?p=jqlcs0ixqmn OlallaI spent a rather foggy morning yesterday out with two new friends fishing the Puget Sound.  You can check out a few photos on Chi Wulff  this morning.

It was a beautiful, serene, and  Cheap Tramadol Uk challenging morning from behind the lens.  A great self-lesson in composition, though, and as the world became nearly black-and-white, shapes and depth drew even more weight.  It’s easy to get carried away with hyper-saturated colors, but in a monochromatic world, strong composition is paramount.

It was my first time wading in cold saltwater and – simply put – it was awesome.  Balmy saltwater flats are an entirely different world when compared to cold beaches populated by otters and sea lions.

Camera Totage

Alternately, this post could be titled: Is It Worth the Hassle of Toting a Camera Around?

Many photographers save the gear for shoots – for those times when they know they will need to capture images, or maybe when they know they are going some place where the odds of photographic material are high.  They worry about the weather – is it wet out?  Could my gear get wet if I take it out today?

Others tote their cameras around https://www.mreavoice.org/110kf6ufcl everywhere.  To the market.  To the restaurant.  On walks.  Newspaper staff do it because news pops up when you least expect it, but some amateurs like to carry gear around so they are always prepared.  Great shots can happen when you least expect it.

This has its downsides, however.  Wear and tear on camera gear, primarily.  Somehow, someway, camera gear will get banged around a bit.  It’s inevitable.  Anything that is being used will get beat up a bit.

And, if you walk around with three thousand dollars worth of camera gear around your neck in certain areas, said gear can make a rather delicious-looking target for petty thieves.  If you’re into daily carry – or any kind of carry in high-risk environments – try to go incognito.  Invest in a camera bag that doesn’t scream “I’m carrying expensive gear!”  Cover the camera with your jacket.  Blend in.

Bottom line – don’t draw attention to yourself.

To each their own.  In this age of iPhone-dom, the ability to capture a reasonable digital image is rather portable, and provides the opportunity to capture images on the move without the wear-and-tear of daily camera carry.

But image quality suffers.  It’s hard to acquire the needed resolution for an image appearing in print off a mobile phone camera.  Possible, but challenging.

What about you?  Does the camera go everywhere with you, or does it only emerge from the Pelican case for special occasions?

Partnering with ExOfficio

by Fire Girl Jess on March 4, 2013

ExOfficio headquarters in Seattle.

ExOfficio headquarters in Seattle.

I’m thrilled to announce, after a meeting in Seattle this morning, Fire Girl Photography will be partnering with ExOfficio – the premier manufacturer of travel clothing.

ExO clothing has taken me from the Russian tundra to the south Texas desert and beyond.  I always love clothing that can take me from the field to a client dinner and then to crashing in the tent… as ExO has many times.  The gang knows what they are doing, and are doing it well.

I’m very much looking forward to this partnership.  I’ll be reviewing clothing as well as shooting a bit of commercial imagery.

It’s an entirely new adventure!
