Marketing & Promotions (Week 5)

This was a busy week for me...I've been photographing almost every day this week and I'm excited to share some of the new stuff. So this thesis that I have been working on took a bumpy start, however, I have been really pleased with some of the newer images. 

I was able to photograph a local printer named Ron Reeder and an umbrella maker here in downtown Seattle. Ron Reeder is an incredible printer who is now retired but still prints, teaches for fun, and photographs. The umbrella maker goes by Emmy and she is a recently graduated AIS student. 

One thing I am really getting out of these photos is that all of these people live very happy lives. They talk about their work with such pride that when I leave I am always feeling truly inspired. I think I am really getting a lot out of doing these portraits because I often hope that one day I can be one of those people who are retired but they are STILL doing their art because they still love it.
