personally, i love shooting in nyc for architecture and street shots. cali is nice for scenery and i love the desert for anything. night photography is fun, if challenging. i've been spending time shooting lightning and clouds lately. i'll be spending some time on portraits soon and maybe a little kink/fetish stuff.

Well, I don't know about lovely, but I'll take the compliment, lol. Really like your latest lightening shots. Did you bracket your shots to get those? I'd think it would be hard to get the timing unless you were shooting multiple exposures. Nice work!

lovely is in the eye of the beholder, no?

i don't generally bracket my shots...most all my lightning stuff is handheld. timing does help, but using the bulb setting ups my chances for good shots.

Fancy i LOVE that one...

I've been doing some stuff and learning to use some new lenses..

I recently moved my site from smugmug to fine art america.. a membership is 30.00 a year and the site is very nice... anyway if anyone is interested my stuff is at www.cajundeephotos.com

'bout damn time you resurfaced. where you been hiding?

congrats on the postcard sales. that has to feel good!

job went ok...way more work than advertised, but the guy cashed out on it. nothing too interesting to shoot, but what the hell. i did let the building owner know i'd be happy to shoot the building when he's ready to list it and flipped him a card. maybe i'll get lucky and get a call from him.

got a couple other things in the works/planning stages. if anything works out, i'll let y'all know.

not hiding just working! The summer here is not conducive to creativity out in the field.. your time off is spent resting for the other crazy 6 days of the week..I have managed to get a few pics that I like..I would love some feedback on the website...

Yes it does feel good to sell your work. I remember when I put my cards out there, the first day someone put a photocard on the counter to buy.. I felt like saying.."Seriously? you are paying for that?"... its humbling but at the same time I also know I live in a place that is photoworthy in every direction.. My time has been spent learning how to drive my camera.. and I am there... but I still struggle.. big time. NO confidence!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with selling photos in coffeeshops etc?

Hello fellow shutterbugs~

I've not been shooting as much as I would like but here are a few things I've posted to my personal flickr account if you're interested; it's a bit of a potpourri of images, nature, people, pride. Some are new, some are old.

My most recent gig was shooting my new beekeeping mentor, Grace, and you can view those on my fanpage on facebook.

I have a few sessions booked for this fall, starting tomorrow, for a very adorable couple who just got engaged. I'm so very excited!! I haven't done any marketing and have been relying on word-of-mouth. I decided that I needed to complete a business plan before I begin an active marketing campaign. It's really tedious work!

How is everyone doing? It's almost autumn! Wheeee! One of my most favourite times of year to shoot.... anyone have any special plans?

Nice pieces and fun self portraits.

Word of mouth is a very effective form of marketing. If you can exploit social media marketing, go for it! e.g. Facebook; Twitter et al.

Hope you and yours enjoys autumn. UGH. Loathe the very idea of winter looming...I need to move west!

Cheers!

I love your work! You are also very gorgeous!

Don't stop shooting!

I would love you to take a look at my work and give me some real opinions..(link below)

My plans are to SHOOT and shoot.. i got a new, used 40D canon and i cant wait to use it more..

are any of you on Facebook? I find it easy to share work on facebook with friends..

Even though I make a couple of bucks selling photocards I would love to do some stock work but not even sure where in the world to begin!

I love your work Fancy!
