The reason i haven't been around for a while

[phoenix]

Hi guys,
I haven't been around much lately for a few reasons. As i mentioned in a thread a while ago, i've started a new job working for an ad agency doing some night club photography. This has been pretty good so far and has also given me the time and money to start my photography business.

It's taken me a long time to be confident enough to do some of this stuff, but now i feel like i can pretty much tackle anything. I've been doing a lot of sports stuff, and a heap of portrait work also. I'm just in the process of organising a calender shoot for a pretty big football side, so I'm super excited about that.

Getting the business going has been the hardest part. It's taken a fair bit of time and money to get it where it is so far, and it's got a long way to go before i have it where i want it. There's still a bit of gear i need, along with a proper studio space. I was in talks to get a studio space that fell through so now I'm on the lookout for a new one.

In between this stuff, i've also had to move house, so it's been a bit full on.

All in all it's been a pretty awesome period, that I'm super excited about. Thanks to everyone that's helped with advice over the last few weeks, it's all been much appreciated. I'm sure i'll have more time to post now that things are settling into a routine.
