Well it has been awhile since I posted. Many of you can see that when I stopped traveling I stopped posting. You can also see that my travel blog turned into more of a photo blog. As I traveled around taking pictures I realized how much I enjoy photography and I have decided that I am going to become a professional photographer. As part of that you will notice a couple things. First, I will be redesigning my website to be more professional and client friendly. Second, I will be creating a new photography blog that I will be updating regularly. It will document my sessions, but also the things that I am learning along the way. I have been a "photographer" for about 13 years now, but I am just now starting to branch out into portrait photography and I know there will be lots to learn along the way.
As part of that learning I have been focusing on a couple areas. One, portrait skills, and two, internet marketing skills. I have been watching how one person does these two thing particularly. Scott Jarvie is a local wedding photog that travels all over the country to shoot weddings. I was lucky enough to go with him recently on a photo shoot and learned a lot from him. You can check out his work at http://www.jarviedigital.com I have also posted a link to his blog under my blog list. The other thing that I am paying attention to is Jarvie going viral. Viral is a form of internet marketing which spreads from person to person. He has created an interesting way of doing this that can be read about here on his blog: http://jarviestudios.com/blog/2009/07/jag/
This is going to be my next great endeavor and I hope you will come along for the ride. (I will make a post here letting you know where the new blog is)
