The whole RISK part is well under way. I’ve started pulling things together. One little thing at a time. Although it didn’t feel like little things, no baby steps at chez henderson - no, I ran a jumped off a cliff.
So as I have mentioned, I am moving forward on the whole “dream a little dream” thing. Funny thing is - I have actual sessions set up, a couple of weddings secured and it looks like May is my offical launch date.
Who’d have thunk it, paid gigs.
This week I’m grabbing a logo and trying to get the site together, although I think I’ll have the blog link back to here - I like my blog and I like who I am, and I think people who hire you to document their lives should see how you document yours. Which means my headers are gonna change, Not TOTALLY change but mostly to include more than just my little wonder Cam and Bri.
Can I also say that my husband is the kind of man girls dream about? The kind of man women push towards their daughters. He has constantly been thinking and helping, being supportive pouring his ideas out, filling in the gaps for me. I don’t think this ever would have gotten past the “man I should be…” stage if not for Jerry. Not that my people who I have let in on this haven’t been AWESOME, they have - Spoken has set up chances for me to shoot people, Nana gave me lighting gifts for my birthday. (they both HAVE blogs but neither of them update often)
I expect I’ll be going to some seminars in the coming months, and I am planning to take a couple courses at the local community college, mostly cause all of my formal training is in Film SLR’s and I want to make sure I am taking full advantage of the equiptment I just sunk a large amount of my retirement into. I know how to USE it, of course I just want to PIMP THAT SHYT OUT!!! I also want to beef up my photoshop knowledge, and a student discount on alot of hte software I want to try would be super duper nifty! I know it seems a bit bassakward, but I really want to be as soild in this as I can be.
I’m joining the associations I think are the most benificial to me. I’m learning as much as I can. Business accounts and fictious names and all manner of things you’d think I should have already known about, since I been shooting as Pinxit photo for about 10 years.
I bought a laptop then promptly gave it to my mother whose computer died a week ago and shes in the middle of a major transistion herself and needs the internet access, so there you go. easy come easy “I better get it back in a week, brudda in law and sister who are supposed to be fixing a laptop and sending it to mom YESTERDAY!!!” (is my hint subtle enough do you think?)
Funny I never actually owned a lap top that I used alot before. I have a Old Mac laptop that I really never used, I bought used from somebody back when I was poeting myself out. I think I may put it on ebay and see what I can get for it. Also trying to decide what to do with the Pentax, I want to upgrade it for backup equiptment - though I am sentimentally attached to it.
I would love to be in a position tha I could just give it to somebody who could love it, alas that is not the case. so things are moving along at a steady clip and I have to hold myself back to keep myself from runnin off half cocked. Will update hopefully upon delivery of my new precious…
