Sure, you're good at your job, but you also pride yourself at being an expert at some personal hobby. whether it's sewing, photography, poetry or something more esoteric, you should know that you're plenty good enough at it to make at least a little part-time cash. Earning from what you love doesn't lessen its value! Don't pass up any chance now to share your skill with others.
I've been playing with the idea of submitting some of the pictures I've been taking while I explore the Black Hills. My sister sent me a link to a site that pays for stock photos. Yesterday, I asked my boss to introduce me to her father, a professional photographer, for some brush-up tips on lighting and framing. I'm bringing him dinner on Tuesday so I can pick his brain a little, and he's excited to be able to talk about the only true love of his life.
This morning, my horoscope sorta reiterated that I'm on the right track! I love my job.
Lighting and angles and frames. I remember the name of the game is fill the frame. I think if I practice enough with my little point-n-shoot, well, by the time I get my SLRs, I may be able to take a half-way decent photograph again. I wish I had a digital SLR. The site my sister sent me only accepts stuff digitally. And they must approve at least 10 photos before they'll even let me post a single one. Please do not send ten photos of your dog. We already have lots of nature photos. Hmmm....starting to get challenging. Then I noticed a category for signs! And remembered the cool pic of the sign for the trails in the Badlands. A guy on the plane from Seattle told me to get Picasa. I've been using Gimp and Windows Live, which is the default program for pictures on this computer. I miss my photoshop!!! I think I may be able to acquire a copy for this computer but I need my old laptop to find the key for CS2. I used CS4 my last semester at Clemson, but I simply could not afford it even at student prices. Maybe my student ID will still be good when I get back there in June and I'll snatch it up then. I'll have to remember to do that. I've got to go feed Lucy's fish, Clyde, now, though, and get to work.
