Retirement and photography
Sep 27, 2018 20:12:35 #
When I retired I began posting my studio equipment for sale and near give-a-way because I didn't want it any longer. Then someone suggested I keep it all and give free lessons so others could learn photography.
So I decided instead to do a limited amount of photography free of charge. A couple of weddings a year and a couple of senior portraits a week during that season. And then High School sports and give parents pictures of their athletes. It will give me something to do with my time and allow people to save a little money.
So I am headed to Springfield MO this weekend for my test run. Friday morning shopping, then lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, afternoon check into a hotel and hang out at the pool, evening out for dinner perhaps with friends. Saturday morning meet the bride at her hair dressers for photos, then to where everyone is getting ready to take pictures of that, then it's off to the outdoor wedding. Friday will be relaxing, Saturday will fly by. Next week editing. Posting full size images on my website so the bride can download and print what she wants wherever she wants. Then sending her the smaller images so she can post what she wants on social media.
I think I am going to enjoy turning my business into a hobby.
