Hey anyone reading :)
I think it's been a while since last I wrote. Quite a lit has happened. I was retrenched from my own business (yes it is possible), I went to Japan for a couple of weeks, my house started to get built and I opened my own cafe. That's just the last two months! I don't fuck around do I?
I won't go into the business thang.
Japan was awesome and I wanted to go back as soon as I got home. I could easily live there I think. I posted photos on here through instagram. Have a look back and you can see why I want to get back there.
The day after I got back I got the keys to my new business. Haven Espresso ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008313880166&fref=ts )
I spent a week getting it fitted out and then opened two weeks ago. It's mine. I did it ALL myself. I have one staff (an awesome barista) and me. I may sound like I'm boasting but I'm just very proud of myself. It was an incredible amount of work and it still is, and it cost a lot of money. Still does. To the point of me selling my cameras. So no shoots for a while I'm afraid.
I actually haven't told anyone yet that I'm selling my cameras to help my cafe get off the ground. It's pretty fucking sad, but at the same time, they are cameras. When I have money again, I'll buy another and start shooting again.
It's priorities. Right now the business is more important than shoots. It actually makes me die a little inside to say that. Any photographers reading this will understand...
Move forward and focus on the positive! My house is looking awesome by the way. That keeps me happy, knowing that one day soon, I will have the most awesome house to live in and in the not too distant future, shoot in!
Stay happy and healthy :)
