@Tina_Inness and I had a great Firestarter session with Danielle LaPorte re: new foodie venture. I am definitely ‘whelmed’ (as opposed to overwhelmed…yup, you got it).

Chatted with 2 new awesome potential food photography clients.

Rocked virtual snowboarding at Live City Vancouver. Let me know if you beat 3300, I’ll meet you for a match.

Toured Sugar Studios, THEY Rep’s great new studio space for photographers in Vancouver.

Continued with organizations for bringing Heather Morton to Vancouver in March for a CAPIC event + portfolio consultations (I’m on the Board, you see). Can’t wait to meet her.

Worked with Robyn to refresh some spreadsheets and review some social media profiles.

Good week.

Adios for now,

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sent this link by a variety of people I know - a designer, my other half, a friend…and it’s made me laugh every time because it’s so very, very true.

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

I’ve been reading a lot of everyone’s New Years resolutions, their favourite parts, proudest accomplishments and major milestones from 2009. I certainly experienced some of my own in these departments, as well as some less than favourite parts, all of which I am going to quietly continue to mull over for another day until I firm up the things I am going to rock for 2010 (they’re pretty much all set - it’s just the Type A personality of mine that needs to read through them all yet again).

In the meantime, I’d like to wish you all the very best for 2010! I hope it’s full of new experiences, accomplishments, celebrations, and of course good food & drink with friends & family.

Cheers,

Jackie

Got several of those nagging things on my To-Do list done this week, that always makes me feel like a small weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Met someone new and was inspired.

Met some great people here and here; lovely, down to earth folks to work with, thank you for your warm welcome and the Saltspring Island goat cheese (my favorite on the face of the earth).

Looking forward to kickin’ butt on the blackberry bushes this weekend.

Inspiring quote to round up the week:

” Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Albert Einstein

Happy Friday everyone, enjoy the sunshine this weekend.

A blog is a funny thing, I’ve decided. Some use a blog as a daily dumping ground for their personal thoughts and ramblings; others use their blog for the purpose of growing a group, or an organization of some sort; and others have goals in mind that include google rankings, linking to their website, and a boatload of other techy reasons.

I was listening to someone talk about those of us who use blogs to showcase our work and our clients - essentially we are showcasing ourselves - and his opinion was that we should also share our vision and our creative process alongside the work so our readers learn who we are not only as artists but as people. I wholeheartedly agree. My vision, values and more about my creative process will now be included with every photo-based post starting on Monday and I hope you find it interesting!
