Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Wow, what a week!
It started off with a Sunday afternoon shoot in Portland. I met up with a couple that will be getting married later this year and needed some engagement pictures. Since we lived in opposite directions we decided to meet in Portland. The Portland train station is a lovely brick building with a garden patio out front, the bus terminal next door and the Broadway bridge is just behind it. So much character in one place! Unfortunately due to the weather, we did not have much time but we were able to get some beautiful pictures before the inevitable rain appeared.
On Monday I learned some valuable information on website layout and the ever growing world of social media. Facebook, Myspace, twitter, blogs... there is so much out there it's mind blowing. Some wonderful tips and tricks to help get my business on the right track. If you would like some help in the Tualatin area, Daniel Payne is great person to talk to.

Towards the middle of the week, I starting having problems with my prints, not a fun thing to deal with! Time to break down and get that monitor calibrator. The good news it worked, the bad news I need to review some photos to make sure the color balance is right. Gotta love the wonderful world of color management!
Come Thursday and it's back to the old grind stone... with the exception of getting off early to attend this month's PMPA meeting. That right there made my whole week! The information from the meeting and watching a print competition was outstanding. I am so excited to start working towards creating some photographs to enter next quarter. I know I have some work to do but I love that kind of work!
I also signed up for their workshop on March 31st, Craig Mitchelldyer Lighting Seminar up on Mt. Hood. This will definitely be an experience! I can't wait!!
Now I just have to make it a few more hours to finish out my work week and tomorrow the fun begins! So many ideas, so many things to do, some not so fun things (but necessary) to do and three days to get them going.
