Been hectic

So Spring is nearly over and I'm getting ready for the summer. Means prepping rentals for the 10 week season. I haven't left photography, but I am going in a slightly different direction. I'm hoping to make a side business out of it eventually. I now have both a flickr and smugmug site, though smugmug will be the one seeing regular updates. I'll try to keep blogging here longterm and will likely be restarting midway through the summer, after I've upgraded my equipment.
Speaking of which, someone might appreciate the thought process I'm going through. I'm looking at obtaining a professional digital SLR by mid-july. The one I'm planning on is the Canon Eos 1D mark IIn. The camera originally retailed for over $4000. I'm hoping to get one for $1400. I know it seems like a lot, but you can take pix in bad weather because everything is sealed. It also has redundancy, writing to 2 cards simultaneously, and can fire off 8.2 frames per second. It's overkill until you think about shooting sports, and I plan on attempting to shoot the Portland Pirates on a regular basis.
The past few days, I've been working on the preliminaries of my brand work. Below is my color and text scheme as shown on what will be my business card. I'm really beginning to enjoy graphic design through Photoshop. Don't expect much on here in the next six weeks, but after that, hopefully I'll be updating regularly both to this site and to my engine3photo.smugmug.com account. Hope life finds you well as you read this. God bless
