is it working?

So, my first week of blogging has come to a close - and I never got around to actually writing anything! 

Strangely though, if the idea was for the blogging to trigger a little more activity in the photo taking side of things, it seems to have worked!   I've been out with the camera on three different occasions since last weekend AND devised two more "to do's" for future projects.  So, something has stirred the old creative juices!

Of course, the actual blogging part of the blogging hasn't quite been as productive, but I'm hoping that will follow... hey! I'm writing this, aren't I?!

Next thing will be to link this blog to my official website, facebook pages, and my accounts on Etsy and Deviantart.

To blog or not to blog?

"Try Blogging" the article suggested. 
The theory, as I understood it, was that the process of recording your high's and low's along the way would help focus my attention and, just maybe, help others who are about to start off along a similar path.

I'd been looking for something to keep me focussed on my new goal of actually earning some income from the hobby I've had for years... Photography.

So, here I am.  Sharing my up's and down's as I try to break into the world of professional (or even just semi-professional) photography.

My hope is that by regularly posting here, I'll keep myself focussed and motivated to stay fresh and positive - while (hopefully!) also giving any other would-be photographers some tips along the way.

Time will tell!
