Day 2

Notice the big time gap between the posts?

Just need to find the key to reach the dream!
A river drain onto Broad Haven beach,
Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Well I've decided that is permissible if I am on the road and doing my job. I've been away capturing the beautiful scenery of Pembrokeshire Wales.

While on the road I do still do the 30DC in my head. Perhaps what is needed here is just a little structure. A plan. Nothing too restrictive though, need to keep it both creative and productive.

30DC plan:

1. Create aims and goal
2. Generate ideas around it
3. Incubate the best ideas
4. Work out the tasks to put the idea into practice.
5. Do the tasks
6. Achieve the goal!

Piece of cake!

Aims and goals:
These are done. See the link on the menu bar at the top.

Generate and incubate ideas:

So this is where we are right now with two different paths to consider and build on, on-line gallery and an Exhibition.

Exhibition Ideas

• Visit local galleries
• See what they exhibit
• Ask how their rates
• Ask how to go about presenting images to them
• Consider printing images to take or presenting on a tablet
• Create my own exhibition
• consider an afternoon/evening exhibition at a venue I have booked
• a local venue such as a library for a longer term exhibition
• In my own home: Make the whole house an exhibition and invite people around for the whole day and make the evening a wine function.

That last one, an "Exhibition in my own home" seems like a great way to get started and to trial the whole experience. I can also still visit the galleries for ideas before hand and prepare to display at them.

On-line Gallery/Shop

A study has been ongoing to explore the possibilities here. I feel it is not necessary to share those results as I already have whittled the possibilities down to one choice. This can possibly move into the task stage so I am going to list them.

Tasks

• Check the pricing and offering from The Image File
• Get discount code from Society
• Do some test prints through Loxley or other vendors from The Image file. These test prints can be used for the exhibition.
• Start a trial with The Image File and put images up. LAUNCH at this point; part of that trial is the buying process.

Seems we have enough to be getting on with for today.
I also just downloaded the Blogger app so if I can work on this from the road then I will add a post :)
