(in)Decisions, (in)decisions...

It's been a long time since my last post.  I've done a lot of soul searching in that time as to just what direction I want to take this thing.  I'm torn between wanting to shoot what I love and feeling like I need to shoot what will sell.

I keep hearing that portraiture is where the money is.  It's just not what inspires me.

So, I'm going to try something a little different.  After attending a class on microstock photography by Pete Solutos it's really sounding appealing.  So Kelly and I did a little brainstorming and came up with a good list of topics to shoot.  I'm not really sure how applicable these will be for microstock but it will get us moving on the path of setting up shoots, getting the talent, the props, wardrobe and lighting set up, then scheduling the shoot.

I haven't followed up with Terry from SCORE yet as I'm still struggling with getting my bearings and settling down on a path to follow.  Now that I've got that settled, I"m going to work on getting the Business Plan filled out.

In the mean time, it looks like I've got a line on some local talent but we'll have to see how that pans out.

On a different note, a good friend invited me to shoot a balloon launch where I got a couple good pics.
