Life has been satisfying lately, other than some surprise car problems; but it was not a major fix just annoying. On the art side of life I have had a handful of portrait shoots lately, some I can post on DevArt and others I can not. It is up to the client if I can post the shots on DevART, but in the end I can use them in my hard-copy portfolio. I have more portrait shoots lined up for the following two months that will make me some money as I continue to build my portfolio and always expanding skills. In the past, I always used the natural lighting of the situation to make a great picture, but I finally stopped being stubborn and started using TTL flash in some shots with great results.

In August, I plan to take another camping trip to the North Carolina Outer Banks in which I plan to camping near Cape Hatteras, in the area of Buxton. This time I have planned to have more time to focus on the area including nature and the lighthouse. Unlike last time I went to the area I was in a major rush since I only had two days to shoot. Also on this trip I plan to take the ferry ride over to the island of Ocracoke to visit the lighthouse and surrounding area; which I have never visited. Hopefully my shooting goes well at both locations over the four days and I might also sneak in so weird Cokin filter shots for fun.

On the design side of things, me and my partner Christian are hoping we have just gotten our first website job for our free-lance business. It should bring us a notable amount of profit, if we get the job. I will be making the graphics as Christian puts it altogether into a website using Dreamweaver. We should get the jobs seeing that the client has given us most of the research information for building what is wanted in the website. The website is part flash and non-flash so in the end the website should look great after Christian completes the code. hope we get the job, it would be a great way to jump the business.

Wish Me Luck!!!
