Worth 1,000 at least

NY: Not even the bikes stand a chance around here... Yep, I think that pretty much sums up the mood surrounding the job market right now.

Just keep swimming... swimming!

The face lift is coming along on the website fantastically. It's nowhere near perfect, and it's a quick fix for now. I'm worried that the font is not going to translate on others' computers since it is one that I downloaded and installed on my machine for branding. Meaning.... that I will need to have it all in a rasterized/ image format if I actually want it to be viewed as I view it. I'm not so sure that this will be the final font anyhow. It's nice on my business card, but I don't know that it reads so well on the web unless at a pretty large size.

The thought that keeps me sane: Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm learning that here in New York, while things need to be perfect and amazing because there's 20 million others that are already better than yours, it needs to AT LEAST BE SEEN. Make it good. Make it seen. Make it perfect. Make it known! That might just be my new mantra. ;) I just copyrighted that in my head, in case you're wondering.

So, the content is up. It's actually out there in cyberspace for beta testing, only accessible with a super secret direct link ;). Family members and close friends, I will be asking you to view it soon and tell me what kinks I need to be fixing. I know you just can't wait!!

It's nothing super exciting, and yet somehow I'm super excited. Soon.

Web Development. Redesign. Go.

Today definitely didn't go the way I planned it. The weather was supposed to be beautiful. It was SUPPOSED to be a lovely day for making money! Then the rainclouds settled in, complete with one grumpy mood on a mission to make me completely unproductive. Then, along came Lynda (Lynda.com)! The rest of the night is designated to Dreamweaver tutorials and website redesign. Full-time photo industry job, YOU WILL BE MINE! :)

Overhaul

So, it occurs to me that if I'm going to aim to work as not a photographer, but rather an administrative assistant (for now...until I can take the photo world by storm as director, manager, consultant... something of the sorts ;) in the photography industry, I ought to market myself as just that. This includes not only new business cards, but an overhaul on my website. Take your last peak at the pretty pictures, and take it quickly! I imagine more text gracing the pages of stephaniekgould.com very soon.

To give you a little sneak peak, this is going to be used in the start-up branding:
