An Ode To The Overachievers

An ode to those who love their work
To those who listen to much
To those who never go to the nurse
An ode to the overachievers

An ode to those who are early
To those who live in their room
To those who never miss a day
An ode to the overachievers

An ode to those who own macs
To those who thrive on the web
To those who ask to many questions
An ode to the overachievers

An ode to the ones who read to much
To those who do extra credit
To those who do double the work
An ode to the overachievers

An ode to those who clean up spills
To those who stay late to help
To those who bring in treats
An ode to the overachievers

An ode to those who dread getting sick
To those who never take off
To those who live to work all day
An ode to the overachievers


Shoot With Beckstead
On Wednesday,I went on a model shoot with a famous wedding photographer. His name is David Beckstead and he was staying at my house for a photography workshop with my mom and a whole bunch of other people. It started on Monday and just ended on Wednesday. For most of the morning, David went through the best photos that everyone had taken the previous day and fixed up the ones that needed a bit of help. We went out for a quick lunch and then David started to talk about how to compose an album and showed tons of do's and don't on photo placement. Then, around 5:30 we went out with the model named Brenda in a wedding gown to the Milwaukee Art Museum just as the wings were closing. We walked around the museum for a while and then headed over the the war museum right next door and took some shots there. Once we were done there, it was getting late and everyone headed home and David went with us. David is leaving Thursday afternoon and will probably come back around this time next year for another photography workshop.
