Get Me to the Gallery
I've been offered the opportunity to hang my photos in a gallery for a month and sell my work! I really need this for a variety of reasons. The problem is that with gallery, printing and framing costs, I need about $1000. I'm hoping that some of my friends, family and fans will come to my assistance. I'm offering some great gifts in exchange for donations. if you can help, let me know. me@stephenyoung.ca
More Facebook
So I found this (thanks Dan!) afterwards and I wanted to include it. It's a map of Facebook's convoluted privacy settings and it's really work a look.
New Logo
After much thought and consternation, I've designed a new logo for the Civics Education Network. It's a much cleaner, more modern design. I hope you like it.
My Post-Christmas Resolutions
So this year I'm not making new year's resolutions, I'm making post-Christmas resolutions. Small difference, I know, but I'm going for the symbolism here, after all new year's resolutions never last.
So, in no particular order:
- Eat at home a heck of alot more (cooking is good and cheaper)
- Get to the gym 4-5 days a week (I've already gotten better at this one, but it needs work)
- Blog, Twitter etc
- Say Yes more often, or at least learn to relax more and have fun
- 30 minutes of photography-related work every day (viewing pics, working on pics, taking pics)
- Start playing the piano again
- Plan for work ahead of time, stop procrastinating my classes
My First Photo Assignment
I completed my first photo assignment this last week. Irena had been helping to organize an event called Simply People, which was basically a disability pride festival at Nathan Philips Square. I ended up helping them with their website which led to photographing the event for them. Unfortunately it was a free job, but it turned out to be a great way to get experience in event photography. So I have thus delivered (well one they pick up the DVD) my very first photo job and I feel pretty good about it. I'm not sharing any photos here since they are technically the client's photos, but I hope to have a few as a examples of my work on my new photography site.
Oh yea, once I have some time to work out some of the details, I will have a professional photo site! The design is mostly done, I just need to pick some images for it and package the materials for Dan.
