I got to join the Firebaugh Police Department last Saturday to experience them shooting to qualify on the gun range.  I must say it was an interesting experience.  I had the Sgt. come by the day before and ask if I would be interested in taking the photos for the officers and the cadets.  I told him I would be glad to.  I arrived at the range and saw how the police officers turn up the heat with their 9mm handguns, AR-15’s and shotguns.  It was interesting. 

I am working with the Sgt. to get some photo release forms so I can post some more photos up here to see but for now this isa ll I can share.

Thanks for reading.

I didn’t get too much feedback on the interviews so I went out on a limb and emailed a bunch of photographers that I follow around on facebook and twitter.  A couple of them responded that they were interested.  I am glad to say that I should have an interview to start off the April month with.  I will keep it a surprise who the photographer is but trust me you will love it.  I am waiting on a couple more responses from some other photographers that are still filling out the questions.  I plan on seeing how it goes and that way we could probably get a new interview every two weeks or maybe more. 

If you are interested in doing the interview then fill out the questions and email them to me. 

As for events….I have a big job lined up for next month.  The local Cal Ripken Little League agreed to allow me to photograph the team portraits for their program this year.  I am excited because I had always done the Police Activities League’s Soccer portraits for a couple of years and just last year I got to photograph the Firebaugh Area Swim Team for their team portraits.  Things are starting to look good this year.  I just hope I will be able to keep up with all the events going on. 

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share.

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

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.

Have you ever had been at work and forgot to do something on your computer?  I have been listening to all the commercials about the ability to log into your computer from anywhere and remote to your computer.  The only problem with that is that they charge you a monthly service fee.  When I first started working at my current employer we came across a program called LogMeIn which is just as powerful as those other guys but its free.  They have some additional features for an additional price but the base package is free and comes with more than enough ability to take care of just about anything at home.  They even have plug-ins that allow you to work on a Blackberry or iPhone and remote into your guest computer.

I currently set this up for my clients so that when they have an issue I am able to check their computers remotely.  They even give you the ability to send email links for your clients so they can install it on their computer and then you have the ability to login from your home or office. 

If you haven’t seen this program go and check it out.  http://www.logmein.com.  If you have any questions or concerns about the software just let me know.  If you have had experiences with this or similar software I would love to hear about it.
