Wow - we're a month into 2009, every year they go faster right?

I'm late mapping out my goals and plans for this year, but I do know it's going to be the biggest and best for me both in terms of business and art.

For the studio, Craig and I are pushing the wedding and portrait photography to a new level, and might possibly be moving to a new studio sometime before the summer. We are expanding the advertising retouching and plan to work with some major agencies and photographers.

My pin-up photography is taking off, and I want take this into a whole new area, and create a custom product that no-one else in Portland is offering.

Big big projects this year, and the main one is going to take me most of the year to complete. No details, it's secret!! But it is going to be pin-up in nature, but also dark, comical and cool. The plan is to create a series of 12 images that will form a gallery show and maybe, possibly, a book. I've got some great models involved and start shooting it next week.

I'm also going to start to use some cars in portfolio shoots and they start in early Spring.
