“Chipper!” As in ‘put me in a wood chipper because I’m dressed up and outside my home before 7 AM in the morning!”
On Friday, October 4, 2024, I met CBC Edmonton AM hosts Mark Connolly and Tara McCarthy, and gave a remarkably lucid in-studio interview about autumn photography in the Edmonton area despite it being before 7 AM. In the morning!
Near the end of 2023 I concluded that I was not really adequately managing my photography marketing very well.
People generally loved my imagery on social media, but it was drip-drip-drip. I’d never set out to shoot photographs for likes. What I really wanted was my photos to hang on walls or be seen as a collection of work.
In November I’d started on a photobook as a thank you for an artist (and community leader) who had invited me to an after-work meet-up with a number of influential Twitter locals. That thank you book got me looking at my photo work in a different way, as more of thematic collections. One thing lead to another and I self-published that book in December 2023. To support the charity where I work, I profit shared on book sales and started giving interviews to the local media to raise awareness.
Here are some news stories.
