Yesterday - I emailed 7 photographers - asking if they were to ever need an assistant; to please conisder me - and I gave them the link to my NEW & IMPROVED portfolio, (click here).
I had so far 3 people write back with really positive comments and tell me that they use helpers/assistants that aren't always available. I was on the phone with one person last night for 2 whole hours discussing photography as a business. He was so helpful and gave me so much information! I am going to meet a few of them - I even got invited to an engagement photoshoot tomorrow night - but I will be out of town. (I'm super excited regardless)
I was told today that my last day at work will be November 3rd.
I've had some of my friends email me - tell me that I can fall back on unemployment if I don't find anything right away. Unfortunately I cannot do that. I don't qualify as I am not a permanent resident. Jeff had to sign this Affidavit of Support when we first started my Immigration proceedings that stated he would not allow me to claim ANY government assistance. sweet.
I will keep you posted on the fallout!

That's so great that some photographers are interested in you! Make sure to keep after them :-)
I checked out your new and approved online portfolio....it is fabulous!! Your profile says, "I am currently a student"....hmmm, really? And darn it, the site doesn't allow me to right click and save the pictures....I was planning on selling them as my own ;)
I had no doubt that photographers would contact you...no doubt in my mind :)
You have to answer this question: I notice under your pictures, you write things like, "f/5.6, 1/15sec, 28mm, no flash". With all the pictures that you take at one time, how do you remember this? Is every shot coded by the camera when you take a picture...is it like the properties of the picture? Does my question make sense? Perhaps I need to go to bed...my brain gets cloudy when I'm tired.
Dude.. I told you so! Great job stepping out and getting your foot in the door. And now that you can SEE, your shots should be all the more impressive!
Very classy Christy - it looks just beautiful....great job!!! :)
