My, how things change in just a short amount of time. Since my last post, life has closed a chapter on one career and opened the door to my being a full-time photographer. As such, thumbtack.com has become even more important to me. IF you are a photographer, I invite you to join the Photography Services category -- and add another customer base source for your business. THANKS and God bless!

Still going strong...

I have not updated my photography blog in forever. No need promising I will either -- because I may not. But, it is worth telling you that I am deeper into photography than I was since my teenage years. Currently, I am shooting semi-professionally -- taking select paid assignments, along with a few TF* jobs in my area.

I also joined Thumbtack.com - to help promote the business side of my photography. Check out my Facebook page, and let me know how I can serve your photography needs.
THANKS!

Happy New Year!

Well, it's officially MMXI... and this is my first post of the year. In the past few days, I have seriously questioned the idea to go pro or remain a hobbyist photographer. Rather than offer a long, drawn out explanation, allow me to summarize my reasoning. On the NO Side are the thoughts of deadlines, my health issues becoming an obstacle and the possibility of not being able to keep up.

On the YES Side are the thoughts of how much I love photography, my desire to please & serve others and frankly, the fact that I would like to make a little extra money. Truthfully, as long as my photography business doesn't become a money hole, I don't really care if I make a profit.

So, what's the final decision? I'm moving forward. Along with registering my domain name, and getting the business license, I'll post my progress here. More importantly, CharlieJ's Blog/o/Foto will provide you, the reader, with informative links, observations and some of my best photography as we journey through this year.

I'm ready to begin the journey... Are you?
