When I was working in photography, I often tried to remember the names of everyone in the session while the session was going on. That was not really a problem at first, but when I started going to people's houses to photograph for three hours at a family re-union or something, I foound myself committing to memory thirty to fifty or more names in an afternoon. Not too much of a problem to do, because I kick ass at that matching cards game where you turn over two cards at a time, looking for a match. I can mentally put people into positions and remember their names that way.

The problems arose when I became very busy and tried to do three or four families in one weekend. I often carried over names from the previous family to the next one. It's not really embarrassing, but it can be insulting to some people to call their kid a wrong name, even if they are almost identical to the last Jordan that you met.

I began to call everyone by comicbook television or movie names. Of course, I learned properly the names of the contact person and the one who writes the check for my services, but everyone else became Big Bird, or Moe or Curly or Donatello, or Johnwayne or Terminator or Luke or Princess Leia or Obiwan or Bert or Ernie .....

I could transfer that set of names to my memory instantly, keep them straight (since I named them myself) and not get them mixed up when I went to the next sitting.

Yes, call me an asshole, but I stopped getting people's names wrong (who were paying me to photograph them) and pissing people off, which made me even more of an asshole.
Instead, I was able to put on the mask of a clown while I was dealing with my own stress and get it all done from a more technical perspective, which IS my true talent.

I fucking own light! Photography is one of my lifelong interests. I have tried living withought a camera (actually I have several, still, but they cost too much to operate in my present situation) and it's just not working. I will clear this up, soon.









Everybody gets a nickname!!

[DirtDawg]

I'm horrible at making up nicknames, especially when someone wants me to. When I was doing caricatures I'd use other tricks, like "How do you spell your name?" LOL - even when it was Bob or Joe.
