Once again it’s been a while, to be honest I haven’t ben in the right frame of mind to write much. Last month I was made redundant from my 9-5 job, this came as a bit of a shock to say the least as the company is doing well, but that’s a story for another time. So since then I’ve been job hunting and trying to further educate myself in this Art we call photography.
Whilst it seems to have affected my pain levels somewhat, (is this due to the stress of being out of work?), I have been able to put some energy towards my photographic business, with 2 family bookings this month along with a day at a Dog show. The bookings are both from prizes I donated but I’m hopeful that they will lead to a: sales of images and b: word of mouth publicity.
The first of these is tomorrow and, I have to say, I’m really looking forward to this one. It’s for a little boy’s 2nd Birthday and he has Quad Cerebral Palsy. This means he has little movement in any of his limbs or head, but His smile lights up everything around Him, so I hope I can bring that out in some great pictures.
The Dog Show is more for publicity than anything else, with a percentage of the proceeds from any images I sell going to the Animal Shelter itself, I’m hoping it will be a busy day, I’m taking some pet portraits and also some pictures of the competitors in an agility race. In between the 2 I have a family shoot in one of the local Villages, with the local picturesque scenery as a backdrop I’m sure there’ll be some cracking pictures from that shoot.
