My first official goal.

So, I've set a goal. I'm not the most organized, list-writing, attention to detail (hi pk) person in the World, but this time, I'm putting it down. 

Unless something huge happens between now and then (like a dream home bequeathed to me in Sundance), I'm moving to Austin in the Fall.  That town has been calling my name for years and I had best start listening.  One problem I've been having with my business is that the Dallas photography market and I don't ususally see eye to eye.  Dallas brides put on these massive, hotel ballroom weddings and want me to make them look absolutely perfect in every shot. And they all want the exact same posed pictures. There is not a huge want for more creative or artistic take on the big day and I realize that Dallas isn't going to change anytime soon.  So, I can moan and groan over it or I can do something about it.  move.

Austin has my heart for many reasons, though.  Being the hippie traveler I'm learning that I actually am, (kind of), Austin and I are fast friends.  And it's Texas.  And it's beautiful.  I worry about the hot summer next year but for now, Woodrow, my business and I are heading south on I-35 this fall. How on Earth I'm going to be able to afford those first few months while I'm getting settled and getting my name out about my work, I have no idea.  I'm just gonna have to trust that since the answer is clear that that is where I'm supposed to be, the rest will somehow work itself out.  I hear there is a hippie commune where everyone lives on old school buses.  okay, i'm not that bad.

There. It's in print. Let's make it work.
