I've decided to update.

Thu Mar 5, 2009, 1:18 AM
I signed up a while ago, mostly to view and add to my collection of favorites. I didn't have a lot of interest in making this a place to display my art, except for a few really old images, because I had a web site at the time. But I've specialized my site toward weddings now, so I'm going to start putting newer stuff up here little bits at a time.

I wont have a lot of time though, I am really busy trying to save up money, and get things ready for college. I'm planning on going to Lee University in Tennessee, it's an amazing place. I'm thinking now, that I'll major in Music and business. I want to focus on piano, do some vocal work, and get a business degree. It's expensive though, and I have to pay for it myself, so I'm working on getting that taken care of.

  • Mood: Anxious
  • Listening to: Thinkin' music. (Techno, ambient)
  • Reading: The Barbarian's Way
  • Watching: Heroes, Psyche
  • Drinking: Ginger Beer

Devious Info

  • Interests: Everything
  • Favourite game: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Paper Mario...
  • Favourite cartoon character: Freakazoid
  • Tools of the Trade: Pen and paper, laptop, Canon EOS 5D, piano, dance gloves, imagination...

Thank you once again! :love:

Heeey, what's up? :D
:iconconner999:
Oh my goodness, so many things are UP! It's so hard to stay in touch with everyone, so thanks for the comment! Here's a condensed list of a FEW of the things I am trying to finish the next couple of months:

1. In addition to (www.LoveInspiredPhotography.com) I am creating two new web sites for different aspects of my photography, in an attempt to draw more attention and get more bookings. I've found that it's far better to focus a site on a single client base, rather than flood them with EVERY type of job you do when you are a versatile artist. It costs extra money, but hopefully it'll be worth it. =D I'm hoping to launch at least one of them in the next week or so. I'm trying to focus on more destination weddings as well, because that will be a big part of my income next year (hopefully!!) Last month I shot a wedding at Rehobeth Beach in Delaware, and a wedding in Miami. Destination weddings are my favorite!

2. I'm studying in preparation for school, and searching for financial aid and scholarships to start college next year. I've been putting it on hold for all this time to get life sorted, to build my business, to work on my skills and set a solid foundation for the future. The cement is drying and things are finally setting in place so I'm REALLY trying to take the next steps and make it possible ASAP. Things are really out of order as far as my transcripts and eligibility for scholarships I was hoping for, so I'm probably going to save a lot of money and time by just getting a GED so I don't have to deal with the junk. >_<

3. MUSIC! I've been focusing on piano, some vocals, and production in my free time. Learning new songs, improvising new ones, trying to get some more stuff recorded. Unfortunately I had to sell my Mac so I no longer have production software. As of right now I'm just brainstorming, trying to memorize some stuff I put down and saved as voice memos on my cell phone until I can start recording and producing again. I plan on going to school with a minor in music and I want to get a handle on my style before I start a big workload of other classes that might make it difficult to stay inspired.

4. Unfortunately I've had to cut back a LOT with the volunteering I'm still involved in. It just wasn't possible to continue to invest more hours at the cost of my sleep, because I'm already cutting in pretty deep and have to improvise random sleep schedules and become really good at napping when I get a chance, heh. I honestly can't remember the last time I've gone to sleep before 3am. I do all of this strictly without caffeine or any stimulant, because that stuff just messes me up physically on top of losing control of my sleep cycles which HAVE to stay flexible. I just have to use willpower, lol. I still volunteer and get some things done, I just wish I was free to spend all the time I used to spend with my projects.

5. All of the stuff I'm juggling takes lots of focus and strain, and many sleepless nights, so the stress builds up. Photography and music help relieve it but they're also part of the stress, so the best way I'm able to re-energize myself is to DANCE! I still breakdance and choreograph here and there, got a Halloween dance I'm going to choreograph coming up too, but I've really gotten into freestyle swing dancing lately! It's so much fun, it's a good workout (dancing from 6pm 'till past Cinderella's curfew xD), and it's such a release that it's pretty much a REQUIREMENT for me to stay sane. It takes up time sure, but the benefit far exceeds the amount of time spent!

There are lots of random other things that come up and I have to deal with, too many to list, but those are my main focuses right now. What about you, K? What's going on in your world? When do you finish school?
