I've been a busy bee. Trying to get gear, figuring out marketing for my photography. I designed some promotional postcards and I'm actually really excited about them! My hope is that I can get a bit of portrait clients who wants some pics for the holidays. I'm also advertising in The Boston Parents Paper online.
Today, Pictage was having a deal for a six month membership, so I jumped on it. This will allow me to shoot, then send my clients to the site to order prints.
This afternoon I went to the local doggie boutique to ask if I could get her help with promotion in return for a commission. She's thinking about it.
It's interesting. Stressful, but kind of exciting. Just to see what might happen. Once I finally get my belt pack (the craziness with the previously blogged about camera company has been a real mess), I'm hoping to hit the pavement in search of freelance with local newspapers and magazines. And I'm gettign a hold of area video production companies in hope that they may need a freelancer.
And I just learned something interesting...The Palm Beach Post actually hired a new photographer after the most recent one quit! I don't know why but I feel insulted. I didn't have bitter feelings until just now.
In other news, Oliver is surgery-bound on Tuesday. I took him to the vet for an eye thing last week. The vet said she couldn't see any damage to his eye, but I knew - it's that refractory ulcer again that he got last year. I took him to a specialist a few days ago and sure enough they found an ulcer under his third eyelid, and some small growth on his upper eyelid which may have contributed to the ulcer in the first place.
So, I will be taking him in on tuesday, the poor little guy.
