First Post of 2018
It's been far too long since I've taken the time to post anything. Apparently tonight my brain is running on a hyperactive mode and needs a release.
Luckily the last couple of months I've been able to take it pretty calm and relaxed when I'm not at work. It seems like work has been a constant craze of new projects and camera/network installations. On top of that, I'm still working as "chair" of our Social Media Committee and trying to find new ideas to help promote ourselves in this digital world.
I did end up picking up a small side project for a local pork grower to design there price list and order form, as well as ramp up their social media presence. Luckily, this project takes a minimal amount of my time, and I'm helping a coworker grow their small business.
One new item that hasn't made it on here yet, but I've had since this spring is a new custom-built desk. This desk had been a project in the works for close to two years. I had an idea in my head of a desk to make the most of my "office" (which is just really a corner of my dining room), that I was able to coax this coworker into building for me.
The desk is made out of new pine with reclaimed barn wood inlays on the ends. I wasn't sure about the stain when we started applying it, but it truly brings out the grain of the wood and makes it very rustic looking. I find myself spending quite a bit of time sitting here, especially when I have a project that requires any bit of concentration. I wouldn't trade back to my old setup for anything!
Other than the new desk and some social media projects, it's been pretty quiet..and I like that!
Christmas was just a few weeks ago and after exchanging presents with Mom and Dad, we went in to Meema's (my grandma's on mom's side) for Christmas dinner with the family. I had received an HP Sprocket as one of my Christmas gifts, so some goofy photos were taken to give the little printer a trial. There were some definite "winner" photos taken, that's for sure! I'm not sure, but we may have captured Meema in one of her first selfies that day!
I'm hopeful that I can make 2018 a rockin' year! I would like to step up my photography game this next year and also play around with videography for both personal and work. I have done just basic recording and editing, but watching some of the bigger vloggers it makes me want to dive in a little further and get out of my comfort zone. I have big ideas...but I just need try to execute them!
Here's hoping that 2018 will be a great year!
