Being in the mind set of expanding my opportunities. I'm going to hire a hall and have an 'open day' for people who would like to have their portrait taken, or perhaps want to bring along some of their family or friends to have a group picture taken.
I have to decide how I'm going to produce the prints. Should I hire an instant printer or use my HP photo printer. Hmmm.

Easter Weekend
As the weekend hit all seemed as though I had enough time to get those little projects which needed my attention done. Wishful thinking huh?
My head is brimming with ideas, things to photograph, people to photograph. Letters to write, plans to plan out......, I'm just lacking some focus. I know the general direction I want to go, it's just, well I know what I mean.
Currently my ideal weekend would be to have a whole day of photography, preferably taking portraits. With this I can enjoy not only the job in hand , but the bonus of conversation with my subjects. Don't get me wrong, I love reportage style photography, where I'm just an observer trying to tell the story of the event in pictures, capturing perhaps some of the mood if I'm lucky.
Tomorrow I'm going to go out an attempt some street photography, maybe even re-awaken my one hundred strangers project.. who knows. I just hope to be able to add some more images here.

Back again
Here I am once again, back from doing other things.
It's been quite tough in the industry of late, very little work it would seem, but actually there are just more people out there looking for the same amount of work thats out there.
The blogs that I read are generally photography based ones, as thats what I spent my free time doing nowadays. I'm pushing myself into a photographer, or at least trying to develop my photography skills to add to my skill set. Finding what I'm good at photographing is where I'm at. I'm trying to self teach through experimentation and reading and of course getting advise from friends and colleagues who are photographers. I've done paid work doing a wedding and some portraits, but most of what I'm doing is studio table stuff of which I tend to publish on my flickr site.
I'll try to do at least a weekly update from now on.
