I recently stumbled upon a website that allows people to work from home doing the jobs they do best. Elance.com has a lot of different job types available for users to work at. From Digital Webpages to Hardware setups. It is free for the basic user which allows you to connect with employers. The site also has some other plans which allows you more opportunities a month to connect with employers and more skills added to your profile. The basic plan gives you five skills that employers can view on your profile and see if you are capable of handling the job. The site also allows you to post job openings to hire your own person for the desired job.
I had been working on another site for side jobs and this one was mainly for computer hardware repairs which I have been doing a lot lately. I have been turning down more jobs in the Modesto area though because the location is too far for me to drive for too little pay. The site is Service Live and they work really great although the locations they support are farther than I would like.
This is another photo from my good friend Johnny Grays while he was visiting Pompeii, Italy.
This is some work that was done by Abiam Alvarez who is my wife’s cousin. He has some amazing detail in his work. He specializes in Ceramic and Painting. I did a post on him and how much do you think his work should cost but never heard back from anyone. I would love to see if anyone else out there would like to tell me how much they would pay for this type of work. I took this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens and studio lights.
This is a photo of a mural that was put together with tile pieces inside a hotel in the middle of San Pedro Sulas, Honduras. We went to have lunch at the hotel restaurant and I noticed the beautiful mural and how it had so much detail. I snapped the photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.
I recently finished creating the site for Mary Allen. She is happy and it looks great. I love her work. If anyone is interested in viewing more of her art please check out her site. We are still working on perfecting it some more but we are close.
I pretty much had her purchase the domain name and I installed WordPress 2.8 on her host and we were in business very quickly. I did some customizing and it is almost done. I went over to their home last week and was able to install Windows Live Writer for them. I love how easy the program is for updating your blog. I showed them the Dashboard and how to manage the site. We still have some work to do but that the hard part is done.
I also want to mention that her husband Dink does some very beautiful custom framing on photos, paintings and anything that you want to put in a picture frame. Check them out!
This is a photo that I found on the V&A Images website that contains a set of photos that show the progress of building work, South Kensington Museum.
I love this photo and was just curious for the other photographers that are out there. How do you actually go about selling your work in a place like this or even in a much smaller environment? I get people asking me all the time about buying some of my work and I keep giving them stuff that I print out and give it to them but how do you go about getting your stuff in a gallery? I would love for one day to get my work shown in a place like this. I always get a feeling when I go to someone’s place and see my work hanging on the wall. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment.
If anyone out there is in my situation or has some experience on how to get your work out there in more places I am sure the rest of us would love to hear the ideas and struggles it took to get your work to where it is at today.
Well it is officially 2009 and there isn’t much to talk about. I didn’t do much that was worth photographing for the new year so I knew that I needed something that would be attractable to the eye. This is an old drawing that I drew back in 1997. I have heard a lot of ideas behind this picture and would like to get some more of your feedback. When I drew this picture I was just out of High School and in the Marines so maybe it has some point behind the design. One man once told me that it looked like the flame that comes out of a rocket. I had fired many rockets already by then but it never dawned on me when I drew it. I was just drawing some plant that somewhat resembles a Marijuana plant which has no relation with me since I never had an issue with the stuff, but I would like to here what your thoughts are on the photo and the subject. Thanks again for reading and have a Blessed New Year.
This work was done by Abiam Alvarez who is my wife’s cousin. Very interesting work. I am working with him to create a webpage and get some of his work sold. We were kind of wondering how much to charge for this kind of work. If anyone has any idea on a price please let me know so that we can get it sold. If anyone is interested in seeing more of his work please let me know. If anyone is interested in buying something let me know. I took this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens.
