With some recent equipment upgrades (thanks, eBay!) and a few loaners from friends, I’m getting stared the shooting again.

The basic gist: If you need pictures taken for an event (please, though, no weddings) or to commemorate an engagement, birthday, or other event in the College Station area, drop me an email via the contact page. I’m all digital now thanks to the sale of all my film gear, which reduces my expenses significantly. I can provide portfolio work and references upon request.

Since I’m still building (well, rebuilding!) my portfolio and the equipment I have at my disposal, at least for now I’m not charging a sitting fee, but will instead put all proofs up in a password-protected area of my Smugmug site and sell prints and digital downloads via smugmug. They print very high quality prints on real photo paper and can print to all kinds of things — imagine assembling a christmas calendar using high-quality, professionally taken pictures of your pets and kids! Of course, with limited equipment I’m effectively restricted to outdoor, daylight stuff for now. But I’ll be working on that!

I’m already scheduled this month to shoot the Northgate Music Festival and two portrait sittings using the picturesque TAMU campus as a backdrop. This is very much a part-time thing for me, but I do hope to break into the market down here and to spend far more of my time being creative.
