Today was an interesting day at Stewart's Photo. They have adjusted the schedule so there are four people working on Saturdays now. The morning was quite dead and I felt guilty that I wasn't being productive. We had a poor day of sales for the entire day. I blame the rainy weather and the Bear Paw festival going on in Eagle River this weekend.
The interesting part of my day was the networking. I spoke with quite a few people that I had fun talking to. There where three people from New York that were in town on a ten hour layover after staying a week in Kodiak. They were very fun to talk with and I gave them my card. Maybe they will let other's know about my website, but I would enjoy talking to them again. The girl that was in the group felt the same way I do about Photoshop. I think that photoshop is an easy way for people who may not have the skills to take good photos, to make their photos appear better. I don't use photoshop and in my opinion, I think it's cheating. I don't have the time to take to spend hours touching up photos, I want to be able to take them well to begin with. I actually spoke with three people today who agree with me about photoshop.
I also spoke with a local guy who is doing a 365 Project. The 365 Project forces him to take a photo every day and post it online. It sounds like a fun idea and I am thinking of doing it. I take a lot a photos, so I shouldn't have a problem clicking that shutter, but this will force me to think out of the box so I take a larger variety of photos.
I love working at Stewart's. I love interacting with fellow photography enthusiasts.I learn something new every time I work. I need to get out and interact more with the art community. I need to figure out a way to get my work out on display more. I need more people buying my photos either from my website or in some other venue. I need to start building my photography portrait career.
If anyone is reading this, have a wonderful day. We are halfway through our summer and I am not looking forward to plunging into the dark and cold again.
