Inspired to move forward...

with my photography by sharing here on my blog instead of paying to have a website that I NEVER use any more. I use to have a lot of photoshoots but since I can't seem to stay put in one particular place- it gets really hard to pursue a business and work on building up a group of clients. I found it worthless to pay for a website and worrying about always changing my location. It won't be too much longer and I hope to get a studio, a permanant website, photoshoots lined up... and so on with that future dream.... anyway- I get this idea of sharing my photography here through my blog from a great friend that just blows me away with her interresting life she shares and wonderful talent she's been blessed with by capturing "life" through her lense as well. You know who you are... so thank you for inspiring me. I just wished we lived closer so we could shoot together. Anyway- bare with me for I have lots to learn about putting this together and posting photos to it. Give me feedback- the good and bad!
Just thought I'd also add this... not too long ago we were out doing out family Christmas photo at a local park here near our home. I had all my camera equipment with me in my van but only took my tripod and camera out with me. I set up and realized that I needed to switch my camera with another one I had in the van... as soon as I walked away from the van a man broke my passenger window and decided he'd swipe us clean... well almost- the dork left the kids Nintendo DS's in the seat. YES he grabbed every bit of my camera equipment in the backseat... all I had was my older dslr camera, the lense that was attached to it, and the tripod. To make a long story short... he was chased and as he was running he was throwing things... yes my camera bag one of them. So, the trooper knocked on my door holding a very muddy/dirty black camera bag with my newest dslr camera, what lense was attached to it and nothing more... needless to say about 2000 dollars worth of lense GONE!!!! I was so sick... like insurance is really going to reimburse me the full amount it's going to cost me to replace those lense. Every since then- I have to say that I've not really had a desire to shoot but my goal is to get back to it. I blame it on the weather here as well for it's always gray and gloomy... I still love it but I can't wait till the spring time- that is IF we are still living here.
OH BTW... the link to my photographs will soon be available as soon as I figure it all out.
Take care

I can not wait to see what you do with it!! You have a great eye and give me so many ideas. I miss your old website! I thought it was my computer and I had been meaning to ask you about it. So sorry about your photo equip! That nasty little thief will get what is coming to him! I am in the mood for a new lens, any suggestions? I have the 50mm 1.8, 70-300mm IS and the 18-55mm.
