Big News


OK, so the big news that I have been working on was finalized today. I just acquired a commercial building on the town sq of McDonough. It is in the perfect place. Right between the court house and the only 2 restaurants open for lunch in town. For those of you who have seen my "50 Things" seminar, it is right next door to the restaurant that I hung my Faces of Town photo exhibit in. Why is this a good location ? Because every Monday I get approx 150 new people from all over the county who are forced to be on the town sq because they have jury duty. They have nowhere to go for lunch except the two restaurants that are to my left. The court house is on my right. Every one of them has to pass me twice. I will have retail merchandise in the shop for folks to spend their money on and a portrait studio. My Image Doctor Inc. Photograph Restoration business will be there as well as the BIG NEWS item.

The Big News is that I will be doing 2 and 3 day workshops at this location. Also, my seminar shows as one evening classes. There is a new bed and breakfast hotel opening 100 yards away from my front door so there will be plenty of room for everyone. Workshops will start in June after I finish my seminar tour. Dates to be finalized this week I hope.
I know it has been weeks since my last post but I have had 4 weddings, a big Father Daughter dance at the school that I just picked up the photo contract on for next school year, 3 full days doing corporate head shots for Equifax, and a private seminar. All in the last two weeks.
And last night a great photographer named Ernie Russell threw a dinner party for a lot of the big names in the wedding photography industry in Atlanta at his home in Ackworth. (About 80 miles from my house) it started at 6pm and myself and Rachel LaCour walked out at 12:15am. I got in bed at 2 am and then had the closing today and a photo shoot. The one photo is from today's engagement photo session.

I caught your work on the walls there locally and was really impressed. After that I added your blog RSS to my feed reader.

Congrats on the purchase. Hopefully you managed to secure one of the structurally sound buildings.

As a president of a local non-profit art group, I am excited about your ventures and would love to know more about your seminars. I would be happy to forward any information to our art group as well.
