Well, my obsession is keeping up with itself.  I can't believe I've sat here and worked at this computer... ohhh probably about 14 hours so far today.  And, after all of that, I still have enough enthusiasm to write up this blog!

I guess I'd have to say I'm pretty pumped about this whole thing... I finally, FINALLY, 'know what I want to be when I grow up'!

My latest venture can be found at www.ashtabula.smugmug.com.  This website will allow me to post pics online, and sell them there as well.  It works really well, especially for events... Here's how it works: I set up to do an event.  For instance, right now, I've submitted a proposal to do a youth basketball tournament in a couple weeks.  I'll go there, pass out flyers, cards with web addresses, whatever I can do that will entice people to go to the website.  And I'll take pictures.  LOTS of pictures.  I then post the pictures online.  When people find pics they want prints of, they pick them out, and, through the website, order & pay (credit card) for the pictures. 

Prices are VERY reasonable, I think.  The prints are done at a lab in Georgia, and then mailed directly to the customer.  And the postage is NOT very expensive.

Once a month, I get a check for a percentage of the sale.  That's all there is to it.

But the REAL beauty of this is that I get to hand out flyers and business cards to literally HUNDREDS  of people who will be exposed to www.scenesfromabove.com and www.ashtabulamarket.com.  And that's what I REALLY want, so that I can enhance and grow my real estate photography business.

I also upgraded my vFlyer account today.  I can now have sub-accounts, where realtors (for instance) can have a gallery of vFlyer listings that (I presume) I'll be doing for them....

Plus, I got an email from a realtor who wants to get together with me and a few of her (successful) realtor friends so I can make them a presentation.  I'll probably be working on that presentation tomorrow...

So that's about it for now.... it's getting late, Godfather 2 is almost over.... I hate to see Freddo get whacked, so I'm going to bed now...
