Every year I like to do a yearly wrap-up of everything I’ve accomplished or did. And in the new year, do a post on my new goals and dreams for the year.

January

I connected with American Craftsman Galleries, and while they are an official client of mine, the work promised hadn’t really gone anywhere.

February

I signed onto Oranum, a living streaming website for psychic readings. This venture turned out to be more time consuming that it is worth. But I actually do miss doing this, and plan to get back into it eventually once my apartment is setup.

March

I connected with clients Alcon Lighting and About Africa. The later one turned out to be much more work than I could handle and it started at the time that I have my current job. I also established a business relationship with a local printer, which has made my printing services a lot easier to manage.  I had an interview in Montague, MA which ended up falling through but could explore western Mass a bit more.

April

I was hired at River Valley Co-op and I traveled to Putney, VT for a photoshoot.

May

I had no posts documented for May, but I moved to Amherst temporarily before finding my own place.

June

I joined the PVMA – Pioneer Valley Mycological Association and went on several walks. Which included West Chesterfield and Northampton. I also started to go to Brattleboro, VT for darkroom services and made a new set of kirlian images for the first time since Italy. I worked on a food photoshoot for a small Maple Farm in Worthington, MA that was for a cookbook.

July

I drove to Goshen, CT for the New England Balloon Festival to meet up with my New England GLT friends. PVMA had a microscopy workshop.

August

I scheduled a solo show at Northampton City Hall. I also scheduled my first PR trip to Mount Tremper, NY. I bought a microscope and started experimenting with it and taking microscopy images. I went to New Paltz, NY and had my first aura photograph taken. I signed on two clients, Bowflex Barbie Fitness and Kathmandu Infosys.

September

I went on my first PR trip to Mount Tremper, NY and to Emerson Resort and Spa. I was accepted into the Quantive Fluorescent Microscopy intensive course at MDI Biological laboratory for next May. I also ended my longest-standing client relationship of 2.5 years. I attempted to have a fundraiser for the work I’m doing for the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.

October

I scheduled a PR trip to Switzerland for July of 2018 and traveled to London, England for a week.

November

I had the exhibition for SPE Northeast Conference Group Exhibition and a staff exhibition at River Valley Co-op.

December

So far, I have no posts for December. I have my travel scheduled from January to August of next year and I am excited for what next year brings.
