Getting Out More

With the current workplace closed for business between December 21st and Jan 2nd, I’m probably going to make use of some of that time for going out and getting some photos – well, that’s the plan, anyway. I suspect we’ll also have a bundle of work on the house to do, and there’s also the private work to be done still, but I hope to get at least some time outside with the camera.

Then again, that’s also something I want to be doing more during 2008 anyway. I’ve got some very specific ideas and bits I want to do, but also just the random stuff I’ve been thinking about, and a couple of projects. If nothing else it’ll be a good way to take time out from the manic workload that’s looking like happening.

Among other things, I know we’re up in the Lake District in March/April, and over in Ireland in June, staying in a cottage on the Ring of Kerry. Both weeks should be opportunities for lots of photos, regardless of the weather.

As it is, I’ve recently uploaded my 100th photo to the portfolio site, and with a bit of luck I’ll be able to double that in 2008. Of course, one can sometimes wonder whether 200 or more photos on a portfolio site is a good thing – while it displays consistency, style, projects etc., is it too much content to wade through for a prospective client or agent? That’s what I don’t know – although I hope I’ll find out before long.
