About 18 months ago I was asked to create a logo for a friend's business. I agreed and we bartered logo design for home cooked meals and she threw in a few gift cards. It turned out nice and I felt good about being creative beyond this blog.
A few months passed and another friend asked for help, then a business asked for an advertisement, then another friend asked for a logo, then a photo gig, then another logo, and most recently a wedding, cooperatively shot with a friend who has an established photography business.
A week ago I was asked to apply for an independent graphic design and photography contract job working with the MSU Jewish Studies program on a grant funded project about genealogy! Initially I thought the project was too big for me, but after speaking with one of the project coordinators, I decided to apply!
Low and behold, I decided (after much encouragement from Matt) to start a legitimate photography and graphic design business. It is a little scary, but mostly exciting.
The next step is registering my business with the county, a website, business cards.....
