long time... no blog

Ugh - I have been a slacker. Granted, in the dead of winter, I don't shoot much. but still!! there has been a lot going on. First and best - I FINALLY got the new Gillette Portrait Arts studio open - lots of work using time I don't have, but it's done (well, not completely done, but enough to open the doors) One of my major goals since I started Gillette Portrait Arts has been a storefront studio. For obvious reasons, it's great because it defines my work and home space, but not many photographers have one, so I think it will bee a real benefit for me and my clients. Plus - it's pretty cool, if I do say so myself - I will post photos of it soon. For you locals, it's right next door to The Palette and I'm often there hanging out and editing - so stop by! In town, thing's are gearing up. We started 2009 off with The Snow Hill Winter Blues Jam - fun fun fun! There was amazing music and I was able to leave the Palette for a minute here and there to shoot. For those of you who can, you should join us next year - it was a great excuse to get out and about on a cold winter night. We're also at the end of Wedding Show season. I've done more this year than ever and am attempting to branch out - we've done 2 shows in the past 3 weeks over the bridge. 1 in Annapolis and 1 in Baltimore. However hectic it can be getting to shows and setting up, it's such a great tool to meet new clients face-to-face and it's resulted in a pretty full calendar - not only 2009, but into 2010 too - very exciting. I swear, I will be more diligent in keeping up this blog... really, I will
