I guess a basic run down of what has been happening is in order. In the last 6 weeks I have been almost finishing my scientific research for my masters degree, welcoming a second child into the world, and starting my most intense semester of graduate school yet. Overall not really a good reason to stop posting but I am now refocused, rescheduled and ready to go. I think that the biggest things that happened to myself and my family was welcoming our second child.
Well it was a girl and we named her Andrea Laura Williams. She is a beautiful person (looks aside, she sleeps all night!) and definetely lightens our lives.
She was born at 8 pounds and 4 ounces, and 21 inches long. Her body and heart are functing wonderfully. They were worried about her heart and kept her in intensive care for 5 days. That was a trial but she was getting great care overall. So things are going well. She just passed 33 days so I think that I was getting a bit lazy...that is why I feel bad!
Also in the last 6 weeks my trusty camera for the last 3 years finally gave out on me. It was a Canon 20d, which now isn't that much of a camera, but it made beautiful pictures while it shot! The shutter died on me after about 110,000 shots. That is pretty good. Everything else still is ready to go. I sold it to somebody that my brother new for parts because the $250 dollars to fix it and get going again was I decided best invested into a new model. I have been searching intently for my next camera and am still torn on what body I should go with not to mention what brand. Currently my mind is sold with Nikon bodies, and Canon Lenses...that doesn't work last time I checked. Oh well. I am still considering what direction will best suite my needs.
Besides that I am also working on the website and presentation. I am trying to get a good structure established and have been studying several options and playing with different things. It is definetely a journey to get a good site up on the web. I probably am making things quite difficult for myself by trying to get stock and fine art and all other needs met in one spot. Oh well, I think that I have discovered the best solution for me, I just hope that it is the best solution for me overall. I will soon make the jump to it if I can't find anything else that will meet my needs more adequately.
I am also working on adding images to external stock sites and this is like jumping through flaming hoops in and of itself. Overall I feel like it will pay off. That means that time and energy must be inputed to getting those images on those other sites. Time is limited and this is all happening part time because I am working on my Masters Degree pretty much full time as well. I am learning more and more about time management.
With that I am going to leave you with a picture for the day!
