I turned a big 4-0 today. Kind of disheartening. I am very happy where I am in my life and I am looking forward. I am working on lining up some gallery shows, a couple of sales and other options. I have also sent in some images to black and white magazine. I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one. I am renewing my website and plan on sending out a mass media update by the end of the week.
It is be kind of busy for me the last couple of weeks. I got new business cards, new Christmas card, plus all the holiday excitement. (That is why I have not been able to post anything.)
I really like the new cards.
Here is the Christmas card. (I think I did a great job at capturing my daughter's persona) I have gotten a lot of positive feedback.
I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight. It had snowed over night and everything was coated with white snow. I went out and took some amazing images.
My daugher school want us to collect submit a baby picture of Carin for the year book. It took me little or no time to figure out which photo to submit for them.
I cannot believe my little girl is almost 11.
I have removed all of the weddings from my website and I am not looking back. I am looking forward to having my new site up. (which should happen by the end of the weekend) I have a couple of galleries up now and will be adding some more galleries while as I finish them
After a lot of soul-searching and exchanges of emails of a photography friend, I have decided to rework my website and focus on my stronger images. When I finished photography school, I had a portfolio review by Jim Fitts and he told me my strongest images are of fine art work. I was a little resistant to make this my only focus but after looking back at what I have been doing on my free time and the work that I have produced from it, i cannot argue any longer.
I am also going to be focusing on my wide-angle portraits. I am still amazed by the work of Platon. My final project at school was a series of them that were just amazing.
This weekend I will be cleaning and backing up hard drives and selecting images for my new website. I was going to wait until my ad on the knot but why bother.
I will be still willing to do weddings providing I can use my style for the bride's wedding.
I will leave you with my favorite image from my recent trip to Atlanta.
