20 Myths About Becoming a Pro Photographer

http://improvephotography.com/1521/20-tips-for-starting-a-portrait-photography-business/
This article over at improvephotography.com is a great article on the misconceptions of turning pro. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about taking their photography beyond just a hobby, and I can say that I have already come across several of these in the short time since turning pro myself, and expect to have to deal with the rest in the near future.

Clearing My Head

I seem to be working quite a bit at the moment, (but don’t seem to be earning any more, that’s a subject for another time I think!) Because of this I’m not spending as much time photographing as I’d like, so after work today, I cycled up to Woodthorpe Park and took a few shots. It was nice to just get out and clear my head a little.

Awards

A couple of days ago I posted some street photos from London. The reason I was down there was to see my girlfriend, Laura, receive an award from her University. Obviously I took some photos of that as well, and here they are!

Capturing the Capital

In Dublin's Fair City - Part 2

I know its been a while since I posted the first few of my photos from Dublin, but I've been quite busy recently. Anyway, here are some more photographs from my trip to Dublin.

In Dublin's Fair City

Last night I got back from my three day trip to Dublin. I had such a great time just wondering around the city, taking in the culture. Everywhere seemed full of life, especially Temple Bar, where there was live music in the bars 7 days a week, and musicians out on the streets playing regularly. 

Kilmainham Gaol - This is the prison where many of the political prisoners were held during the British occupation years. It is also the prison which was used to film the original ‘Italian Job’ and ‘In The Name Of The Father’, amongst others.

Packed and ready to go!

First thing sunday morning, Laura and I are flying out to dublin for a few days. I've just finished packing (I only started 10 minutes ago,) and it seems I've got just as much camera equipment as I have clothes! Also, not shown, here I have my trusty note pad and a selection of pencils.
