A TPF Thank You from me . . .

[Canon Fan]

I just wanted to take a minute to all the people who have still been critiqing my work even when I may not respond or have the time to look at thier work and post :hugs: :hug:: . I used to be very good at getting out here and being a very active member in regards to giving as much advice and response as I receieved. Lately though I have so many irons in the fire I don't know which end is up!

On the home front the baby is doing well (8-1/2 months old already!) I am still working 3rd shift, and my wifes support of my photography has grown so much now that I have talked to her about buying a second DSLR to help me and she is actually excited about it!

Photo-wise I am moving towards a full blown business at light speed. I have booked 5 seperate weddin gigs (with 2 more pending), I have a pending deal to shoot for a local monthly magazine, and I have set-up 2 jobs doing product photography for catalogs.

Learning I am currently doing studies on water droplets, churches, high and low-key lighting, and am forcing myself to interact with people more by forcing myself into the urban street arena at least once a week.

Also I have just finally purchased my first set of studio gear so I am learning/expanding my knowledge (or lack there of) studio strobe and protrait lighting.

Altogether this alone keeps me busy about 52hours a week aside from my job and family so I truly thank those who are still taking the time to check my stuff out.

One day I hope to be able to post all of the things I am learning and write some tutorials again. In the meantime keep shooting and trust the other shooters here as this site is truly a wealth of knowledge that is priceless.

Thanks again everyone and please stay tuned for more, better stuff from me in the future :mrgreen:

I think it all sounds fantastic! :thumbup: Good for you, glad to hear the baby is well and you're getting such strong support on the home front.

Best of luck with everything you have going on these days. Looking forward to seeing your stuff again (as time allows)!

Sounds excellent! I do not have to say plan well. Personally I have spread my self thin on more than one occasion. The clients never noticed and the work was completed famously. But... knew my nerves were shot when I got very upset (for lack of a better word) at the mailbox.
