There's going to be a new blog section to the website - it's called "The Move." Yes, I'm moving - not just to a blog, but to a new part of the country.
I am headed 1500 miles north to the Great Pacific Northwest - going to Seattle. I have been considering a move - this move - for about 3 years. It's always tough to decide what is best for my family, so it's taken a lot of deliberation, long conversations with my wife and countless hours searching the internet. It's a tough decision to pack up and move after 15 years in a town. We finally made the decision to Go. I will be staying outside of Seattle, showing my book every day and shooting it when I'm not showing it. I have an existing client base in Tucson, so I plan to bounce back and forth a bit to keep some great relationships alive here in Arizona. I have even decided to turn my Tucson studio into a Co-op and keep a share just to make sure I have a great space when I'm back in the Old Pueblo
I will be posting quite a bit in the coming weeks as this move grows legs. I have been shooting for my portfolio, shopping for portfolio covers/books/prints, marketing to the region, researching locales, and a bunch more that I would like to share. Stay tuned and we will tackle each of these subjects over the coming weeks -- and see how successful I am over the coming months. I've had some successful moves in the past. Admittedly, my move to Tucson was the least successful in my career and it took a long time to rebuild my work. That was over 15 years ago and I'm much wiser now. I have an entirely different technology-based plan and method that promises to let the right people know that I'm in town!
