In my first post, I briefly outlined what I am trying to achieve, that is to chronicle  my journey as a photographer.  To help me refine the vision I have begun to develop a workplan with some clear goals.

Goals:

  1. To develop a fully functional and presentable website to showcase my portfolio.
  2. To determine the business model I would like to practice
  3. To enhance my knowledge and skills as a photographer

To develop a fully functional and presentable website to showcase my portfolio

I want to have my hand in every aspect of this journey. From conceptual design to actually coding, I want to imprint my own stamp. I know that I there are other alternatives out there for those that lack the time, skills and ability. However, I know that for myself I would be truly disappointed in myself if I didn’t go through this process myself. After all, one of my interests is webdesign and have done it on the side since high school. I have the skills and ability and would like to present something that I can call my own.  I am excited to have to the chance to explore how users interact with content, apply good design technique, and build on my current skillset.

To determine the business model I would like to practice

This sounds like an odd goal, but I wasn’t exactly sure how to put in a sentence. I can most likely devote a few posts on exactly what I am thinking. In essence, I want to develop a philosophy that I will live by and keep in mind while pursuing this. At the same time, I want this to be the business model that I will form the foundation.

To enhance my knowledge and skills as a photographer

Obvious, but constant learning is a passion of mine. I would like to delve into a bit of history, theory, and background.
