It’s the general consensus in Atlanta that we have had enough rain to last us the rest of the year. However, it’s been dry for over a week and I am trying to get winter rye growing on a slope next to my house, so it was a welcome relief to wake to rain this morning. The weather also put me into one of those modes where I just don’t feel like doing anything of any real importance today. I have a backlog of work to get started on, but I decided to get pictures shot and products posted on Etsy and Appalachian Craftsmen web sites. It’s also a good excuse to sit around, drink coffee all day, and aggravate friends on Facebook and Lumberjocks.
I created a lot of new board styles this year and told myself that I would shoot pictures of them when I got back from each show. I didn’t know that all these items would sell out at each show, so when I got home, I had nothing to photograph. I spent the last two weeks building my inventory back up and finally got all the photos shot this morning. Now I have the ardent task of posting each one on two different sites. There is a little urgency on my part because the Christmas buying season is on us and I have already made quite a few trips to the post office, over the last few days, shipping boxes to customers.
Photographing my products is relative easy. It’s just setting everything up that is time consuming. My umbrella lights generate a lot of heat, so during a long session, I tend to work up a sweat.
