VB, once again

My break for today was to go to the last home volleyball game.  It was fun, and the home team won. Yea!  I am still pretty rusty, and my "yield" is pretty low.  I worry about that and think that I have totally lost it, but then I remember that you really only need one or two to be considered "successful."

I might have done this to continue my streak of having people actually look at my photos.  I guess if I take pictures of events, with people, I have viewers!  Who knew?  Last time I posted vb photos I had 70 viewers that one day, and the wedding generated 55... I can understand why, but I am a little hurt.  My poetic photographic musings attract about 9 viewers, maybe 11 on a good day.  Or week.  Or more accurately, per month.

Now, I understand the basics of this.  It is not unlike what an editor told me long ago--not one single sunset/flower/pretty leaf EVER bought a newspaper.  People buy papers or look at photos, pretty pictures don't.  I get it.

I have to think about this.  Being a wage slave photographer taking photos on request would be a change, but perhaps I best think about that.  It would still be better than wearing a hair net or working at a grocery store.  Anyone have any assignments where I might make more than minimum wage?

Katie and Justin

I was trying to figure out the quickest way to get these photos to the right people.  What a nice wedding with very nice people.  I am (as I am sure they are) glad that they had a real photographer there but they can have a "snapshot" of the wedding  a little earlier.

Sartell Sunrise...


A random morning sunrise...

Volleyball

Forgive me for this, but I am parking these volleyball photos here for a bit so people can steal them.
It was fun to do, but I am terribly out of practice taking almost any type of sports photos, but the participants will like them.
