not necessarily the best of me

but i've put together a portfolio that i will bring to the flower shop tomorrow. these are some of the 25 photos included in the portfolio.

i found an artist's portfolio ring binder at an arts supplies store uptown. lucky for me, i had 55 photos that i was going to have printed at the local printer. the regular price was $5 plus taxes. i was going to bite the price but they just happen to have a sale and it cost me $1 for the 8x10 prints. took me all of my lunch hour to upload the darn images and modify the shades and colours in their computer. then i had to hop on the train to get the portfolio. went back to the office to face more work.

but i got it done, i actually did two. the portfolio cost me $35 but there was a cheaper non-ring binder for just $7. i plan to use that as a back up.

i found a very helpful article/blog by alain briot about putting together a portfolio for photographers. i enjoyed reading it and have taken his advice to heart. in case anyone would have to put a portfolio together in the very near future, here's the link:

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?! I am thrilled for you that it worked out as easily as it seems to have!

Don't forget I'm still waiting on that autograph! (;

Good choices! I particularly like the hat!

Wonderful!! So excited for you......this could be the beginning of something really big!! Thanks for the link, too....I will definitely bookmark it for future reference, just in case the opportunity comes up. I already have three portfolios of architectural work, so I will just keep adding on to that!! I really, really hope they pick your work.....you definitely have your own style, and I think that's what matters the most! And, also, in case you ever need to print anything more, AdoramaPix occasionally has print specials, and so does Shutterfly....both good companies.
