Nicely worded. I'd hire you.

Very good description of your photography processes. What about your video concepts? Your blog has suggested that video will be the growth of your business.

In marketing and advertising we've learned to concentrate on one product or one idea at a time. The markets for video and photography are somewhat separate still. Also, video requires more crew, hence is not as safe a way to re-start. Thank you for your interest.

what an amazing portrait Kirk! It ain't the camera, that's for sure

A minor typo for correction is found in the paragraph about exterior shots. The sentence contains the phrase "get your on your way" which I believe was intended to read "get ""you"" on your way".

Kirk, that is a stunning portrait... done on a very "novice" cam&lens

Kirk speaks business-to-business fluently. Fadya: 12 MP camera, $99-dollar lens. Jeez!

Anonymous, Thanks for the proof-reading/error catch. I've fixed it. Sadly, we had to furlough our full time proof-reader and our in house sommelier... Rough times.

Excellent article and a well thought out process. Love the portrait, and the sample photos.

As a retired baby boomer I thought my generation would just gradually fade from the workforce. The pandemic is a game-changer and has finished the working life of many a Walmart greeter and university professor. There will always be piano tuners working and black-and-white printers but by the time things settle down I suspect we'll be looking at a somewhat different world. I think often of the line "The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed." - W. Gibson. There are boring people but I doubt if there are boring times. I spend little time watching the value of my few investments but eagerly search for stories on how the companies are preparing for the future. Isn't the story of Olympus interesting? Compare Exxon to Chevron, or consider if car plants in Alabama change the car plants or Alabama more, and choose if you think that a rising tide lifts all boats or if a dollar you have is a dollar I can't have. Uh oh, getting close to that third rail! Thanks for taking the time to write your blog.
