As we slowly crawl towards the end of another financial year I can look back and see some success!
Yes - my first entry into the British Institute of Professional Photography’s annual showcase came up “Commended”. I may have missed out on the medals in this round, but for a first entry against the cream of the professional crop to even get a mention is pretty good going! Particularly as I am entering shots taken within that month rather than hunting through the archives!
Why? I think it’s because I like to challenge myself to constantly “do better” perhaps? I honestly don’t know why I tend to make everything harder on myself!
Anyway, last year was a complete wash out as the tax man showed me recently and this year is… well… I may have made some money this time around after Year 1 and Year 2 recording losses. This is par for the course with a new business venture though and I am now gunning for 24-25 being my “emerging” year! On which note the groundworks which comprise Phase 1 of the hut development are now complete and I can start scratching my head and thinking about what comes next! I have some serious form filling and application submitting to do for this stage as it is going to draw the attention of building control, then it is the water and power to arrange before hopefully getting the hut order in! Once they are in then we need to tidy up the site ready to start marketing!
There may just be light at the end of this very long tunnel!
