Where are You?

Everyone has a special place.  I think mine is Ketchikan, Alaska.  I change my mind quite often.  Sometimes it’s Kauai, other times New Orleans but for now it’s Ketchikan.  I was introduced to the area by my great friend Charley Starr.  Charley moved his family and photo business there 10 years ago.  It is a small seaside city, population over 13,000 and is dependent on the cruise ship industry to survive and thrive.   Charley has generously hosted me on four visits and on the fifth I finally brought Patti, my wife.  The geography is unlike anything here in San Diego.  We were able to see waterfalls, bears, eagles and the salmon were running.  I wish I was a better writer so I could describe the area and community.  Wherever we went Charley was greeted and the people were pleasantly friendly to us strangers.  I’ve started to remember names and now know places to go.  It’s truly a small town environment with a Walmart.  I can’t wait to go back.  Where is your special place?

On The Road…Again

Leave a comment

I’m no expert but it appears the economy is improving.  The first two months of 2014 were the busiest I’ve ever had.  I know it’s a small sample to base the year on but other photographers have told me they’re off to a good start also.  If photographers are working, businesses are marketing and looking to growth.  That’s what we do, we help our client market, sell and grow their business.

I spent a lot of the month on the road.  Several trips to Orange County surrounded a couple San Diego projects and then I went to the Bay Area for a couple shoots up there.  After a quick respite back home and starting a new local project, I went to Alaska for a quick shoot.  I know, why send a San Diego photographer there, it’s because my client trusts me to get what they need.  Maybe an idea for a future blog.

Well I need to wrap this up.  I have another couple projects in Orange County and LA this week.  I hope everyone else is busy.
