i think i'm going to say that again.
i'm going to have a baby.
sort of.
[calm down!]
now that i have your attention...
i haven't been blogging lately because i've been working my tail off since april, trying to RE-start my photography business (i.e. my baby).
i had no idea how much goes into starting a real live business. website, instruction, marketing, logos, colors, style, products, business cards, price lists, templates, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
breath, breath, ok, breeeeath...{i think i almost just went into labor right there}.
anyway, the launch of my new website is almost complete. i just added the finishing touches tonight. you know what the biggest stumbling block has been so far-- besides "barney", my camera? (hey--it's a dinosaur--what else am i supposed to name it?)
anyway--my biggest stumbling block as of late is picking music to go on the stinking website. i'm so out of it in the music world lately --not as bad as lynn though (phew). and then there's this problem of legalities. does anyone know if i'll get in trouble if i just throw just any ol' song on it? do i have to have permission from the artist? and how does one go about doing that? do i just knock on jack johnson's door and say "hey! can i use your curious george song thingy mr. johnson?! and what if the artist is dead? actually, i guess that doesn't really matter. johnny cash songs don't go real well with baby pictures.
so, if you have suggestions on that, drop me a line. ps i've already looked into "royalty free" music and they all sound like i'm sitting in an elevator. so unless you know of a sweet "royalty free" song...
does anyone know of a sweet kick trash local band that would let me use their stuff?
oh--and one more thing--
i've been kicking around the idea of taking this blog private and just doing a public photography one. any opinions? to all my thousands and thousands of readers: speak now or forever hold your peace.
[chirp, chirp, chirp...]
that's what i thought.
anyway,
speaking of pictures. i shall share one.
by raise of hands, does anyone know how DIFFICULT it is to get a good picture of jack?
so...so...so difficult.
but it's a cute difficult. :)
