think the two biggest personal changes this summer both have to do with confidence....


after three quite successful (amid fatiguing) shoots, and a great photo trip in kenya (which i've yet to post more photos of), i am now a lot more confident with my photography.


i am also pretty confident i can produce some groundbreaking work when in australia. i can not stress how excited i am to be working with some of australia's best, if not the world's finest, cosplayers to make some epic shoots happen.


but on the other hand, i am now a lot less secure with flying......


after a few bad flight experiences:
- sick after returning to taiwan from AX
- extreme fatigue after returning to taiwan from singapore
- kenya airways
- severe jetlag after returning to the US last week


---- panic post below ----


some news:

this morning i tried to check in online for my sydney flight...

only to find out that my ticket HAS NOT BEEN PURCHASED??????


my heart stopped beating and i called reservation in panic,

good that it was sorted out.




but then my friend suggested me to check some frequent flier forum, and i found out that United Airlines' route from USA to Aus are notorious for flight delays and cancellations.


what is worse is that Australian carriers, regardless of mainstream (Qantas) or budget (Tiger), are extremely anal with carry on weights.


the limit for carry on baggages is 7kg, but in my experience (and i mean literally hundred+ flight segments in my lifetime), i've never had my carry on weighed. but my friend tells me three out of four times she had her carry on weighted when flying in austraila.... FML

and fyi, my backpack is full of camera equipment and computer.


JUST ONE CAMERA + MY MOST FRAGILE LENS + THE BACKPACK IS OVER 7kg ORZ


i think i will be purchasing extra baggage allowance and flying with the least frail airline (Qantas) to ensure good trip ORZ




seriously fingers crossed


(also heh i have a shoot the day i land~ and also the flight about 20hrs in total with one segment 14hr+ ORZ)

brb packing
