Well I start a new job today.

I quit my job with the studio on Wednesday due to the fact that I simply wasn't enjoying the work. For anyone who didn't know I was working at a studio that handles school portrait contracts. Great way to burn yourself out on photography is to take the same crappy picture over and over again and not be able to do anything creative!

Anywho, I scored a job with a company based out of Gig Harbor called ArtBeads (www.artbeads.com) they are an online retailer of beads, pretty booming business apparently since they have a big staff and have been growing nonstop for the past 6 years. I got hired on as a image editor, so I work with the rest of the Art Dept. and edit images for publication on the web. During the interview I was told they wanted someone who could also help with and possible do some shooting of the products as well, so hopefully that pans out.

I suppose I'm not terribly stoked about this new job, but that's only because I just want to do stuff I'm really excited about and anything less just seems like...well, work.

I haven't done a shoot in awhile, I need to get back on it. I also need to get back on the gear purchasing train, new camera, new lights, more POCKETWIZARDS!!!

I have a few pet projects I'd like to shoot, just for portfolio use and hopefully I can pull that together by the end of the year, we'll see.

Well, I guess I better be hitting the ol' dusty trail.
