DSCN0001_webI’d been dragging my wife through the misery of this work and public transportation in Pakistan every day. She took a break today. I feel horrible on all levels. I had suggested that it might be better for someone else to take the shot as nothing I had created seemed to be in the unclear direction that the client wanted. With quick turn around projects, it is important to make decisions to switch tasks, methods or even artists quickly to save time. That is why I pushed to knock out a version to show what I could do for this cloud shot on the very first day.Still, I was being given a chance to keep pushing, so I needed to do just that. I guess they turn off the elevator on the weekend, so I walked up 9 flights of stairs after the usual, dehumanizing metro experience. I started fresh and created several more versions based on additional suggestions. My job is to give the client what they want. Unfortunately, I don’t know what that is, and I have doubts that I can provide it.This has replaced my own work and no one is happy with the results or clear on what needs to be changed or willing to get buy off on movement and positioning of the clouds before we move on to finishing the look. Another bad decision on my part. I was given this opportunity because as my project has run so long and met with such great difficulty, I clearly need to earn some to keep going.
