<div style="text-align: right;">Bastiaan Pranger ~ Weighing his Options...<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3f/Bastiaan03.jpg)</div></div><br/>The music was playing low in the background as Bastiaan walked around his large open freespace.  “Damn this weather...”  He grumbled slightly as the rain came down.  “Why today?  Damn it all...just makes more work.  Have to black out the windows.”  He sighed heavily as he realized he would have to do that on his own as well as set up his gear.<br/><br/>“Maybe Brandon will have enough time to do that with me...”  He shrugged and went around the room drawing the shades down.  It wouldn't be long before everyone would arrive and he would rather have had some of the work done while he waited.  After the shades had been pulled and tied down he went to the kitchen sink to wipe some sweat from his brow and move to his office, waiting for their arrival.<br/><br/>The office was austere in appearance; much like everything in the studio.  Bastiaan preferred things this way, clear of distractions and devoid of interference.  He felt that the way his studio appeared reflected on his personal self and the man was anything but a professional in every way.  He would only hope things would flow smoothly with this shoot, but the weather made him wonder if he was only wishfully thinking.
