Now that I'm over swine flu, I've been up to my ears in business related stuff. An exciting development this week is that a business connection of mine is opening a framing shop and is renting me wall space so I can sell my fine art pieces! I am SOOOO excited you guys- I started out in photography as a fine art person, doing black and white. I've learned to use some skills from my classes to do other sorts of work (that actually pays) but black and white is my first love and I am really thrilled to be able to sell some. Finally my babies are going out into the world to earn their keep! ;) This development has kept me busy- I've been visiting local printing companies like crazy to see if I can find someone who will print on fiber papers for me (no luck yet) and getting more business cards done, having my photos framed for the wall, etc etc. I still have to make some little placards for the pieces to put on the wall, with the name and pricing.
This past weekend we had a lovely visit with our friends Helen and Robin from the Ann Arbor SCD group- I miss dancing in A2!!! It was wonderful to spend time with them and we were very sad to see them go. On Saturday I was out with the US Air Force who brought out a small group of volunteers to do some tree felling for us, and it was really nice to enjoy some American hospitality and friendliness. Most of them live on base and don't know many British people well, which I found interesting as we've immersed ourselves in British culture and don't know many Americans here! There are certainly days where I'd love to transport myself to America- maybe I'll just go out to visit my friends on the base and get my fix that way. :)
Tomorrow I have a new client coming round to get some help with batch processing his files. I seem to be doing a lot of photoshop tutoring these days- its been great for raising my profile and credibility, and I hope it brings in some new business as well.
