One of the challenges that comes from moving to a new town, while simultaneously pivoting in my work, is that I don’t have much in terms of a portfolio. This problem is especially prevalent in photography, where the niches I want require planned shoots with paying clients. But out here in the San Gabriel Valley, contacts are few and far between- at least so far.

I’ve been a little all over the place for the past year or so. I let my photo business sort of taper off, got into a brief game-design stunt, then took up t-shirt design. It’s definitely less-than-stable, but all I can say is that I’ve been chasing these things in an attempt to figure our just what it is that I want to do— or rather, what is meant to be my “thing”.
