On the beach

I was called into the boss' office at 5 p.m. today and told that my services were no longer needed. While my rear end is somewhat chapped, my wife and I talked it over and agreed I should at least try making money doing what I love. Quite frankly the day job was getting in the way of my ability to get out and take interesting pictures. Thanks to great networking I already have some freelance writing work lined up at the local newspaper and the opportunity to venture into the world of wedding photography with a local studio. Graduation photo season is around the corner, so that'll help out. Also, last spring I had some aerial spec shots lined up for some folks but the weather and the start of a new (old) job came up and that never happened. Its time to try again. Coupled with a part-time job to fill in the gaps this is the plan for now.
