A photography assignment tomorrow for Vince

@JudyEv (342277)
Rockingham, Australia
December 20, 2018 5:31am CST
Today I had to get out of the house while Vince hosted his golfing friends for a barbecue. From time to time they assemble at one of the homes to enjoy some food and drink together. While I wasn’t obliged to leave the house it gave me a chance to go into Bunbury and do a bit of shopping. I also visited a long-lost cousin who I hadn’t seen in about 40 years. Tomorrow Vince is taking photos for a real estate agent. The house that is up for sale is not too far from us. This is a new challenge for him. He is hoping it might lead to more work of this nature. He really enjoys his photography but it is good to have a reason or excuse to indulge in it. The photo is an update of the Christmas tree made from tyres. The local tyre service has erected it in their yard.

Niiiice Christmas "tree" . And good luck to Vince, maybe he'll get what he wants . I like photography too, but I can't work on this for the moment. Maybe in the future, several years from now .

@Kasjnak It seems like you are doing a bit more cooking than perhaps you once did.

@JudyEv I would soooooo love to have time for my hobbies . Cooking, painting and taking pictures. Got a few more, but those three are the main ones. Congrats to you, enjoy them to the fullest!

@JudyEv Sometimes we have so many things to talk with someone we haven´t seen in a long while that hours turn into minutes.

@marguicha That's very true. It's not a side of the family that I've had much to do with so there was a lot to talk about.

When a hobby earns that is a different story. It happened with me when I started designing and executing landscaped gardens. Best wishes for Vince are on the way.

Thanks for the good wishes. If photographers don't have something like weddings, real estate, endurance riding to take photos of, they run out of ideas of things to photograph. And what do you do with all your photos if you can't share them? The photography websites are a great idea.

@allknowing He hasn't sold on websites other than his own but he enjoys sharing his photos with other photographers.

The tire tree looks great, it's a creative tree. At the beginning of the year I also met a cousin who I had not seen since 1976.

I hope all goes well for you and your husband to land a good part time job that pays well with photography. A hobby turning into wages is so good. Happy Holidays. Only 5 days till Christmas!!!

Tire?? You mean tyre??? I don't think so. Vince is doing this first one quite cheaply to get a foot in the door so to speak. It's quite a competitive market.

That is a very nice Christmas tree. So creative! Photography I think can be addicting. Each time you take a beautiful picture you are thinking of taking other beautiful pictures again.

I think those who like photography need reasons to take photos and they like to be able to share them in some way too even if it is only on real estate webpages.

It's a great looking Christmas tree. I think it's great he has the opportunity to photograph for the realty agent. I hope it becomes steady for him. He's an excellent photographer.

Thanks. It would be nice if it led to more work. We don't need the money so much although there is always something you can do with it but it gives him something to do and look forward to.
