    Just to keep myself scrambling, now for something completely different...

    I spent most of Saturday shooting the Las Vegas Elementary Cheer Competition. It was amazing how good some of these little elementary school girls team were, and super cute too. I was contacted by the organizer to shoot and sell the team photos for the contest. Then I was asked if I could shoot some of the competition itself (instead of donating to the program). I think the organizer saw that most of the teams have already done team photos this year and weren't very interested in official team photos.

    Hopefully the competition shots will rescue a poor sales day. I ended up only shooting four teams and only about half of those girls individual photos and maybe selling $300 dollars worth. And I just picked up a cool new Mitsubishi Dye-Sub printer and was hoping it would pay for itself in one day.

    The venue was really fairly nice in a new community center in the ghetto in Las Vegas. It even had relatively good lighting, better than most of the local high schools anyway.
