I'm really starting to feel like this whole photography business is going to work out. I came home from a photo gig today and saw this sweet ride parked on the street in front of my house. It may not be mine but, dreaming can be a good thing.
One year ago this week I told my manager at The North Face that I wanted to drastically drop my hours as the store's visual merchandiser and go from full to part-time status. I had decided that I really needed to pursue professional photography. It is where my experience lies, it is where my training lies, and most importantly it is where my passion lies. It was time to start living the dream.
This year, among other photography jobs and assignments, I have taught two full photography classes in my own studio with demand for more, have one regular and two semi-regular private photo consulting clients, have started teaching photography classes at the Hyatt Classic, and have been hired as a regular contract photographer for a local venture capital firm doing all their event photography and eating some very fancy catered food.
...so if nothing else, the dream is keeping me well fed.
