The Pandemic of 2019 / 2020

Like most the pandemic of 2019 / 2020 / 2021 has been a rough year for my photography business. Not from a monetary perspective but from a creative perspective. I’m used to getting out at least once a year on a photo trip and September 2019 was my last trip to Iceland. I’m not complaining here I’ve just been in a rut creatively because of my lack of travel and inspiration. Since that time I’ve worked on a few things to keep me busy. I went back through my portfolio and either remixed some of my favorite shots or re-processed shots with my update skills. It’s kept me busy and allowed me to day dream of all the places I still want to travel to. I even installed this fun vision board to help me remember the places I’ve been and where I want to go. During this time I’ve also set up an Etsy shop to sell my work. I used to sell limited edition prints but I’ve come to realize that I’d rather sell digital prints so that my work is more accessible and that more people can enjoy my prints. It’s been a lot of work but also a lot of fun and I’ll soon be migrating my store here to the Etsy platform.

I hope you’ve been able to make it through this challenging time with you and your family and we can all see some silver linings at the end. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel and I look forward to bringing you more creative images in the second half of 2021 and into 2022.
