Ever since the election thing have been crazy with work! Last month was probably my strongest ever and the first half of this month has been pretty full on too. It looks like things are settling back down now again though as I have nothing on the books until Friday as it stands, which is actually quite nice as I could do with a moment to catch my breath before the boys all start back at school next Tuesday! Three of the jobs I have pencilled or scheduled in for the remainder of August are all long distance ones. One north coast and two out west, all of which I am looking forward to.
Otherwise I need to chase the council to get some permissions through for some work on the site and then get that progressing as soon as possible as the accommodation and workshops side of things is still very much at the core of our plans. There are some new ideas for other workshops, tours and experiences too that we are just getting thoughts together on at the moment.
I am starting to look ahead to the change in seasons too, as we move into autumn and the landscape starts to change into it's browns and golds my thoughts always turn to my artistic portfolio - I have my panel to finish for the BIPP before the end of the year and I will be starting my campaign towards the main competitions that I shoot for too. I only entered one this year (Commended in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year contest this time around) and really want to push myself over the next couple of seasons to see what I can produce.
There are also more plans for VLOGS, video work and, of course, pushing for more commercial clientele. We also have a wedding shoot coming up at the end of October!
So lots going on, and it looks like my 24-25 targets may be achieved too which sets me up nicely for building up on those foundations going forward. Perhaps the imposter syndrome will quieten itself down one day too!
