Wow! And the outtakes are hilarious too. Say, what would be the big deal if this had been shown on TV?

The New Math

I was having dinner with my friend, Rob, an excellent photographer and best man at my wedding. We were sitting around some garlic pizza, wondering about our lives. Where we were going, and how we were getting there. Rob wants to broaden the scope of his photography, and I want to do the same with my filmmaking. But how to do this when you already have a full-time job?

Rob said spending an hour or two a day working on your stuff can, you know, add up. And like a corny “lightning bolt” of realization, it hit me. It does add up. Here’s the math:

2 hours/day x 5 days/week = 10 hours/week, which is
 520 hours/year, which is
 65 workdays/year

This adds up to over 3 months of a regular, full-time job, working 8-hour days (no lunch!), 5 days a week. 3+ months! Scale it up or down, it doesn’t matter. It’s a hell of a lot of time.

I regularly work a few hours a night after working 8 hours a day. I used to wonder how much of a dent I was making. I used to wonder.
