14 The Blue Eyes Have It

Portraiture is difficult for me...this works, I think. You can't do too much sharpening, too much tonal shifts...people are what they are, but you want them to be both alive and attractive in some way. Well....

I could have and should have stopped at least 2 years before I did. It was physically demanding and difficult those last 2. They were rewarding but too demanding and I’ve paid the price. Two years on the job is like 10 years in retirement. I saw and recognized my decline and knew I had to give it up. Carrying my big @ass ladders and 1000 foot reels of cable were a killer, nut buster if you know what I mean. No mater what direction you choose to go my hats off to you and wish you only the best. Helping those less fortunate than yourself….. doesn’t that bump you up a couple extra steps up on the stairway to heaven? Paul

See my serious comments under your photo in pending. So you messed up. We all did at one time or another. So fix it. Jim

Let me be serious for a moment...I was advised to retire before Covid, then I had heart problems, then Covid which...oddly or maybe not, completely changed how I lived my life...when Covid was gone, things, life, was really different. Of late, my physical decline has been precipitous....and I don't want to hire anyone I am going to have to later fire...I am always 5 minutes from getting out. Since most of my clients are poor, nobody wants to take my work for even free, I'll even work the cases, as long as they are largely the responsibility of someone else..doing my own typing is a bear, a real burden... I made a mistake and "I stayed too long at the fair,"....you wouldn't want me to lie to you...I messed up. That's the truth of it, you guys did better...(what is funny is that I don't need any money...yet here I am on Friday night typing and have a client meeting on Sunday evening that I don't want to have). Still, we are what we are. Traveller Please See: https://pbase.com/cichallenge/image/174915389

Paul - yes, that is a great way to do it. I had a consulting company for my last 7 years. I killed the website as well, and then raised prices the last few years which chased off some potential clients so I could "wind down" on my own terms. Jim

Smartest thing I did when I retired was to kill my website, email and phone lines. Then sell off virtually all tools and equipment I needed to be in business. And lastly let my insurance and license’s expire. There was no going back and I don’t regret it for a moment. A handful of consulting jobs but that was it. Paul

LOL...great idea....alas, since covid and my failed retirement, I am not entirely comfortable with complete strangers in my house. I am here and there and around with, often sensitive paperwork laying about. But it is a nice idea.(grin) Traveller

My thinking is if you had a studio setup with strobes, triggers and soft boxes where you control the entire environment including background, lighting angle, color and intensity you might change your thinking. You’ve got 10 to 12 K to invest in a starter home studio right…. Just think you could call it T Studios, Photography With Heart! Paul

Well done. You know it is hard when all the cell phone cameras struggle in this area, working hard to be "the best". Jim
