What I've been up to – Chapter Dee

[Dee]

Not wanting to dump in Dawns thread, thought I would start my own edition

Basically, I've been pushing this photography thing in all directions lately. Long story short, otherwise you’ll all get bored

I've recently made some enquiries at our local village hall about event photography, they have engagement parties and birthday parties etc held there, so I thought I would ask if they needed a “Resident” tog as such, I called them today for an update, but apparently it hasn’t been put forward to the committee yet, they will let me know anything as soon as they do. If they come back and say no, they have no problem with me advertising on their bulletin board, which I know gets a lot of exposure.

I've also managed to land my first “job”, (term used loosely ) A friend of mine, her son has his prom in May, and she wants some shots of him and his mates with dates in front of their limo Will be paid for, as I imagine the parents will be wanting prints. Another mate of mine wants some pics of him and his girlfriend, which I am happy to do, as does one of Daz’s mates, its all about the experience more than anything at the moment. Any shots I get, Ill be using to build a portfolio. My birthday came around just in time, as I've got some money to play with, and I've set myself a budget of £50 to get a half decent one made up.

Also, I've made some enquires about showing some of my stuff at a local arts festival in July, be a good chance to let people see what I can do.

I am going back to college soon for another tog course, this time learning Photoshop and such

An old school friend asked if I would do her wedding photos because she has less than 4 months to find another after her original was sacked! I've graciously declined this offer

And only this morning, I've put a advert in the local community magazine offering free portrait shoots. I wont be charging for my time, just for any prints.

Not much Ill admit, but all a step in the right direction
