This was one of my favorite photos of August taken with my iphone. As I'm trying to get caught up on photos I've realized that August was a pretty awesome month. I didn't really take time to enjoy it, but I worked hard and worked on good projects. I have recently decided to change my direction a bit. I am reducing my hours at the newspaper to devout to the photo business. What is happening is I'm not able to keep up and I want to make important photographs for my clients and get them into their homes as soon as I can, my work at the paper slows this down terribly and affects my health. The folks at the paper are gracious enough to allow me to do this and still stay on as a part-timer. I love the work I do in this community for The Meadville Tribune and would miss it if I were to give it up completely. But in two weeks or so I'll change from being a full-time employee at the paper to part-time and be able to devout more time to my clients. I feel badly that it takes me so long to complete a project, so this is going to be a great thing as I'll be able to put 20 plus more hours in each week on my work. I can't wait to really make this business run smoothly and efficiently and continue to grow as a photographer.
