So since my personal website is down and since I haven’t decided quite what to do about it all just yet… I am going to shift my weekly review of “the life and times of Rob” to here for the moment so that anyone interested can keep up to date!
This last week then… it hasn’t been a bad one, I even scraped over the threshold of my medium term weekly goals! Things are definitely quietening down a bit though and looking ahead it seems to be dominated once more by low paying agency work - by low paying I mean it barely covers the costs of doing the job, there is little in the way of profit in it.
So why do it?
Well… it has formed the basis of getting the commercial photography business off the ground, and I often use it as a bit of a test bed for some new ideas and techniques and keep the tried and tested options for the more established work where I can’t really risk experimenting with new approaches. It is also something of a safety net (in that having a little bit coming in is better than having nothing coming in), it gets me out and you never know who you may meet and what opportunities may result… there is also a large part that I would much rather be doing something than nothing… and I get into trouble when I am doing nothing!
