So I have decided to take more pro-active role in my life. To maybe work towards something...If not just anything. I realize that I am moving in like 4 months, I am VERY excited to leave Cincinnati and experience something new and exciting, but also feel like there is so much to do before I leave. So I made a list.
I sold two photographs to one of my sisters friends so I need to get that together. I was quite amazed that someone actually wanted to spend money on my crap, but makes me feel good nonetheless. I found this awesome place in Fairfield (after hours of calling around) that will enlarge the negative for me at a reasonable price (quality still pending). So I don't have to worry about the extra expense of enlarging it myself. Buying frames and matting...Which makes me feel like I did actually learn something in college!
preparing my portfolio. I have some great photos but have yet to put them in a professional portfolio to show to potential employers. So I had the place enlarge some of my other prints and also have had some printed out recently...dilemna now--finding a portfolio to put it in! That will come I am sure.
calling photographers, after I have completed the above, I have names and numbers to different types of photographers in Cincinnati. One is commercial, one is wedding, one is a bit of both. This will be beneficial when I do actually move to have had some valid work experience to show for. I plan on cutting back my hours at encore once I get back from Israel to focus on working more with my field, to see if I really want to do it.
taking pictures again. Its been a while. I loaded up my camera and read through the manual and am well prepared to go and try it out. Israel will be the best place I think. I also have a couple opportunities with people from work that will give me lots of practice, furthering even more my valid experience.
so all the above is basically career based, but at least it is something. I am also going to work on getting rid of this thirty extra pounds that has plagued me for years. That I think will be the hardest challenge.
parents house is currently being assembled, we should be well on our way to getting them moved after we get back from Israel. Cheryl has tentatively bought a house in deer park, so I will be working to pay off my debt when she can move in by fixing and painting and knocking out walls!!! Fun fun fun!! Then we will be outta this house and I will stay here till a sale is finalized and carol graduated college...Again!
going pretty well...There are still an abundance of issues, but I am trying to learn not to take everything so seriously and just have some billigerent fun!
