Twins
June 17th, 2009
Twins are on my mind these days. First and foremost because I have new twin grand nephews down in North Carolina who were born a bit early and are having struggles in the hospital. I keep up with them through the blog their parents are keeping up. It’s been a real roller coaster, but both seem to be doing pretty well under the circumstances.
And, I’m spending lots of time playing with twin hard drives as I try to get my new backup system working. This is involving running a synchronization program on several drives in order to make sure I have everything in my old files saved. Some of these sync operations are taking close to 20 hours to run. And, since my truck is still torn apart and without an engine or transmission at the moment, getting back and forth to the studio is a bit of a challenge. I have the motorcycle, but it’s been raining pretty much every day. Or, worse, they have been predicting rain which fails to fall, but convinces me to stay home to stay dry.
So, in honor of the twinness that is going on in my life right now, here is a portrait of twins Cat and Christy. Cat is an accomplished model and lovely person who I’ve worked with a number of times over the years. Christy is her fraternal twin sister who I met when I convinced the two of them to come in to the studio for a shoot together. They are both lovely women, but, as you can see, they are very different. That difference extends to more than their physical appearance. But I enjoyed working with both of them and hope they will each be back in my studio in the future.
The twin sync job that is running on this computer right now says it has 7 hours left to run. I’ll not be sticking around for all of that…and it doesn’t look like I’ll make it in to the studio tomorrow because of the weather. Maybe I’ll try to make a quick trip between thunderstorms and start a new sync job to get a little closer to having this chore finished. Then I might be able to start thinking about doing some new photos.
