Sunflowers in April?

One of the unexpected benefits of having an on-line store is that I am now proceeding with long ignored projects just because I have the store.



Here is an Example. In August 2007 I took over 200 photos in a field of sunflowers. Those digital photos were downloaded to my PC, where there they sat. Now that I have my store, I finally reviewed the sunflower photos, selected my favorites, and have printed out the best shots for products in my store.

Having my store gave me a reason to sort through photos in April 2009 that I had never printed or shown my family since taken in 2007.



The 1st time I took photos in the field I got permission from the farmer, took a ladder into the field and shot photos by myself for almost 2 hours. That weekend I went back a second time with my family and took some pictures I thought I might use for the 2007 Christmas card. We ended up using photos from Washinton DC for the 2007 Christmas card, but this picture was one of the options I decided not to use.

How wonderful!!! I have had a couple of similar experiences:

1) Now when I take photos of things/events/people, I not only upload them to my pc the same day, but I also quickly edit them and then even SHARE them with people!!! Imagine that!!! lol

2) I have become much less of a procrastinator since running my little shop. I have deadlines that I have to meet for orders, and this has actually started to carry over into the rest of my life! I used to start a million things but never finish any of them. Now I start a million things and actually finish about half of them!!! lol

Hi Jeanne,

Thank you so much for all the kind words and comments. I'm about to meet a client, but I wanted to take a minute to say hello. It's always nice to meet other fellow photographers. I love them sunflower images above. I will have to poke around your blog when I get back home and have more time.

Hugs,
Crystal
