Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[IrieCat 2]

Oh! I want it!! :-) Thanks for the link!

I have to resolve to set up my darkroom/studio!!!

Girl, if you're talking about DARKROOMS, you have been out of the loop!!

To be honest, with the strides that have been made in digital technology, you would be ill-advised to get a film camera....And also, rather than set up a home studio, all you need is a space big enough to set up your background!!

Unless of course you have the extra space to spare!!!

Well here is the thing.. I went to Maine college of Art. I live in a very Artsy community. There is alot of money in this area with B&W art pictures. I have a digital camera and use it all the time. I love it! But I also have a manual 35mm camera that I do film shots with. I have done some Sr pictures for people. Also portraits shots and sold some of my B&W shots that I have done myself. My film camera is actually very old and takes wonderful pictures, I have been offered some good money for it but I wont sell it. It was a gift when I started college. Now I have and an entire darkroom it just hasnt been set up since I had Tierra. I love being in a darkroom creating my photos, it is very rewarding.

In order to make good money I would have to use the digital but for Art shows and sales I would use my film/B&W shots.

I bought a digital SLR last year, because I want to get back into it - my next step is to upgrade to a good photo editing program. I used to do a lot of black and white work (back when you needed the darkroom)

Check your PM!!

That definitely sounds good!!

Maybe now Louis is here and you have more support you could do that on the side!!

I would love to see your stuff, do you have anything online?

Morning everyone! This is going to be a crazy week for me - I am in a training class from 9a - 4p every day, and have to try to do my regular job around that I submitted my resume for a new position within my company, so please say a prayer for me - It's an Immigration manager position, lol

This was a great weekend - We went out on my friend's father's boat Sat, sailing up the CT river - just a really relaxed girls day out.

Unruly, sending positive thoughts your way for AW's interview today -

Good luck Sus - you are DEFINITELY qualified for the position!!

Today is definitely a day of prayer and positive thoughts all around. My SO is a welder and has been pulling his hair out for 2 weeks since the JA govt shut down the exporting of scrap metal. They are having a meeting about it this morning so I hope good news is coming.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers for everyone needing extra today!!

Way to go Sunny!!! I'm sure you will get the appointment date within 2 weeks. Seems like they only do it on Thursdays.

JG - I agree re: Lawny's prayer. But I'm not the writer either.....

Hope everyone has a good week!!

Sus, Good luck with getting the new job. If they need any references, have them log on to VJ. We'll give them an ear full. I recently got a new position within my agency and I love it.... More money too!

Congrats Sunny!! Just in time to give it right back to the gov with all these filing fees.....

Ok, now I sound just lazy.... LOL

I want to do a website with my photography but I am so not computer savvy like that.

I am making a list now ... "THINGS I HAVE TO DO!!"

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

Lol, what you could do is just make an album in Photobucket and upload them there....

I have 10 years law enforcement experience, combined with extensive statement taking, so would love something like insurance investigation, basically stuff like taking statements in a legal capacity, and/or investigation.

Barring that, I have been eying stuff like cable installation, have no experience but I understand those kind of jobs often don't require previous experience.

I have also experience of train driving, wouldn't mind doing that again.....

I guess I just want a job that pays reasonably well and I don't have to wear a suit!!!

Hi yardie family --

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It's so great to read about everyone's anniversary's - confirms to me that this process in all it's craziness is worth it and can actually bring you closer together! I need a likkle favor today... AW is headed to Kingston today for an interview for a tourist visa. We started the tourist visa process since we are still new in our relationship and before we learned all of the other visa options (and before I found this wonderful site), so we decided to follow it through and then assess our next step after that. So after months of waiting just for an interview date, we finally got a date last week to go to Kingston for AW to interview. His interview is today (Monday) at 1pm -- he's so nervous. And I've quizzed him so much to make sure he knows what to say, but most importantly what NOT to say that I think his eyes are probably crossed But I know he will do well regardless and whatever the outcome happens to be is God's will.

So if you have the time to send us some good vibes and lift AW in prayer it would be greatly appreciated today.

Thank you, all!

Unruly

I will definitely keep my fingers crossed!!

Please please DO NOT have him tell them he has a female friend in the States!!

I'm sure you probably know this already though!

Ditto. Good luck to you.

All the best!

JAENGLISH that is such a cute picture of your son. You should become a proffesional photographer because your pictures of him are so adorable. What a cute little boy you have.

Thanks

I do actually take photos professionally, done a few weddings and many portrait sessions

Here's my 'newest' fav of him

I knew it cause those pictures are to darn cute! Awesome work!

Andre's been to about 8 Cardinal games. (BTW....CUBS SUCK!!!) It's the only American sport he really likes. He was so/so at the hockey game we went to. I think he took to the Cardinals because it was a World Series win that year. So much excitement.

I am telling you, look into the paralegal or insurance fields - You can dirt dig to your hearts content! I rarely wear suits, and when I was in a firm, I was constantly running here or there
