Updates?

Yeah, it's been a little while since I've posted. Life got busy over the holiday season and has stayed relatively busy so I haven't had a whole lot of time to shoot. Hopefully that will change soon :)

So, just a quick update for today:

  • As always, I've got a bunch of Christmas photos without me in them. I did use my lights off camera this year--kept with the setup of having one on a light stand and one on camera bounced off the ceiling. I wish I had read David's post about his lighting setup before Christmas morning, but there's always next year, right?
  • Got a 5-in-1 reflector and a lighting book for Christmas. Sweet.
  • Totally missed the signups for the Strobist seminar that took place last weekend. Apparently it sold out within MINUTES. Suckage.
  • But, I'm going to be attending a meet-up this weekend in San Rafael. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully I can network and learn some stuff from the pros that are attending.
  • We've started up our own little Bay Area Strobist faction on flickr. We've got 22 members so far--hopefully it continues to grow!
  • I took my first step towards making some money with my photos--I submitted a few to a stock photo site (photoshelter.com). It's a site where they're trying to get away from the whole microstock thing and actually have people sell their photos for a more realistic price. I submitted 10 photos for review, which will take a minimum of 5 days to hear back from them. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Wish me luck!
