Nothing to it but to do it


Perfect!!! My dad used to say and it's still true and what I do. Dont buy anything you cant sell quickly. One reason I try to buy the best I can.


YUP!! Buy the good stuff when you can. I grew up with, "A poor man can't affornd to by cheap stuff." Works for me.

Well, i think my biggest obstacle right now is the computer. I need to have a mac, because i'll spend less money on maintenance. I've worked on one for years, and am pretty adept at fixing any problems. That said, they're a boatload of money!!!
My space is ready, though, so i'm going to pick up some background paper and a set of used Norman lights this weekend. Then i'll need a desk and some rudimentary fixtures. It's mainly just, i'm scared i'll buy something and then find something i like better later on! It's a wonder i've stayed married for so long!

Im sorry my friend. You'll have to get over that. Theres always something Next you have to have. I have Everything I can Imagine But theres alway's something. Thats the digital age. I come from a time where you bought a camera and it lasted you for ever. Not the case anymore.

What if i do this and nobody comes. What if nobody wants to pay me for my work. What if. There. I said it. Everyone thinks it. Oh, and it wasn't home equity...we refinanced, and got cash back, in case anyone was worried. I didn't go in any holes or anything.
That said, it's still money, and i'm still freaked out to spend it.
I did buy some lights this week, and a couple of background stands, so i'm slowly breaking that new account in!!!
Here we go!
Cowabunga...or is it Bonzai???
