Monday, Monday, Monday

Today was my "first" Monday as a self employed photographer. I'm proud of myself for actually getting up and putting in some work today. So what did I do:

• Set-up my new iMac 
• Followed up on an email with a potential wedding client.
• Started processing images from Kim and Kory's wedding that I had shot back in NC. 
• Processed some of my shots from New York.
• Processed some shots from a charity polo match I attended yesterday.
• Updated my Craigslist ad
• Updated my Decidio ad
• Updated my PPA profile
• cleaned up my website and client proofing site a fair bit (killed the music; it even annoyed me)
• Briefly surfed the real estate for lease ads looking for a possible studio (no money for that as of now, but I like to keep a list of areas and options going)

Yeah I know that doesn't sound like a lot but it was time consuming. I feel good that Put in a full 10 hours of work today. It was funny my wife asked if I had made any money today (joking of course). Well of course I haven't, but I did do things which make you money. I made sure I am taking advantage of the completely free sources of advertising. No they are not going to bring me a shoot for GQ or Vogue, but cash flow is cash flow. Any starting business needs that. I am not too proud to shoot for my dinner. Work is work, and work behind a camera beats an office any day.

One of the other things I have decided to try my hand at is selling "fine art" prints. I use quotes because I'm not sure what I shoot qualifies as fine art, but what the heck right? I really like some of the images I captured at the polo match yesterday. It was my first time shooting polo or even horses for that mater. Here are just a couple images:

I like them. Of course if you like them help support a photographer by purchasing a print at www.lightwalkerimages.com !

Alright tomorrow's agenda:

• Finish processing Kim and Kory's wedding
• Process more images from New York
• Blog on my workshop experience with Joe McNally
• Go grocery shopping
• Clean the house a bit, and do some laundry 
• Develop a new Facebook ad
• Start story boarding my DVD idea!
