Ok, I am booked almost every hour until the middle of December. I planned for it, I got it. Be careful what you wish for. Long days, in the studio at 6:00AM, getting home about 8:00PM. The days fly by and seem like they are over before they stop. I get to serve which is what I am here for. Better then to be sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, much better. People are happy with their portraits. That's the bottom line. A person has to have the right attitude to deal with hundreds of people and focus on each one without distraction. The economy might be slow but people want their portraits because kids don't stop growing just because of bailouts:)
I am doing a print judging next week for the MPPA (Maryland Professional Photographers Assn) which I used to belong back in the 80's. I wonder how many people that I still know will be there. Should be fun. I am sure I will see lots of new age photography. My judging is based on a lot of traditional ideas. Not sure how that will go over with the other judges. Then the conventions start, PPA, WPPI, SPA, and all the rest. So I am tightening up my program and adding a few new wrinkles.
Now is the time to plan for Winter strategies, vacations and Spring promotions. Rest? What's that?
