Sorry, I'm a little late. There goes my New Years Resolution!
But, I'm happy to report that I have something to report!
The first very exciting development in my career is that I got a free copy of Photoshop Suite (that means I got the whole deal- Illustrator, Designer, Distiller). I don;t know what all that stuff does, but hey- I'm a photographer so I should at least have a copy of Photoshop in my bag of tricks, right?
On a side note, someone had given me the copy of Photoshop and I first tried to install it a few months ago and it didn't work, so I wasn't expecting it to work at all. Since I am unemployed I decided to try to reinstall it and this time it worked perfectly.
I mention this for 2 reasons- It's an example of my unemployment pushing me to work harder to make my dream a reality and it's an example of God giving me the thumbs up and opening a door to tools for my business that I didn't have before.
Before I move on to my next update I want to expand on where God is in all of this for me. I think I have been afraid to admit and believe that God is going to use this lay off to bless me. To move me to a job that is more suited to me and will fulfill His purposes in my life. But I was challenged last night to claim that. To believe it and pray for it boldly. I was serious when I said that my New Years Resolution was to always trust my instincts and that is what my gut is telling me. And for that I am humbled and thankful and amazed that I serve a God who is so good to me even when all I have to offer Him is my great need.
OK, the second update is that I totally changed my blog! And, I created the header/logo all by myself, using Paint of all things even after I anstalled all that fancy Photoshop stuff. I think it is much more indicative of who I am as a photographer and I hope it conveys youth, fun, and artistic-ness AND makes it easy to navigate, contact me and follow the blog.
Yay for progress!

From Nicole's "About Me:" "I am into popsicles in a big way!" dirty....
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the "undefined/undefined under your "about me"?
Awesome news on the photoshop! Holler!
I can't figure out how to get rid of that! Blast... I was hoping no one would notice :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah. Also, in the About Me section, do you think you should write a little more about your photography background/interests/goals/inspiration? I love what you have, but I think you would benefit to add some of that stuff, maybe?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I think they can see my photography by just scrolling down a bit so I am not sure if it's that timportant. I can see that sounding too businessy and I want it to sound more like I am meeting them for the first time as a friend, not someone who wants something out of them.
ReplyDeletegotcha! i can't argue with that, it was just something that crossed my mind. see, you're branding already! i love a woman who knows what she wants...
