I just wanted to make a quick update and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! I hope that everyone has safe travel's and get everything they are wanting from Santa! Enjoy the time with friends and family and have a glass of eggnog for me!

Update!

So I have been really bad at this blogging stuff and keeping everyone updated so I will try and do a better job of this. So the first and biggest news is that I have my first wedding of 2011 officially book which is very exciting. I have a few more leads on jobs for the upcoming months and will keep everyone posed on that. I have been thinking about purchasing some new backdrops for portraits and have come across some really funky items but by far my most favourite have been from a company called Drop it Modern. I have posted a few different types of backdrops that they offer but check out the full site to see the rest. I’m not sure which ones I will be getting as of yet as I love them all and want to get each one. So if anyone cares to give their opinion of which one is their favourite please feel free to so. My plan is to get some in the New Year so you can look forward to seeing some upcoming images with these backdrops. That’s all for now but hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and hopefully the weather co-operates for everyone during their travels and I promise I will try to update sooner.

One of a Kind!

So over the weekend I was able to attend the One of a Kind Show here in Toronto with my wife and her parents. First, let me say that if you do go try and go during the week as Saturday was ridiculously busy. The show was a lot of fun and was able to pick up some items for Christmas. One of the other reasons for going this year was to check out to see if it was a worth while show to enter and showcase my work. Well I do think that it is a great show and one that I would like to go in I don’t think it is something that I can financially swing this within the near future as entry fees range from $2,000 to $6,000 for the Christmas Show. So until I get myself more established and my inventory build up more I think I will be sticking to smaller shows. I think that I will try and set a goal that within the next five years I would like to have my work shown at this event. My goal next year is to go into a number of other smaller, less expensive shows but shows that still drawn a number of people and hopefully generates sales such as the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition that takes place at Nation Philips Square. If this and other shows are a success I will re-evaluate going into the One of a Kind Show. I will keep everyone posted on what shows I am applying for, when they are and if I am successfully accepted.
