The following day the exhibition was open to the public, but I couldn’t be there because I had flown up to Auckland to meet Steve and the bus at Hampton Downs race meeting.

My wife went along, and was quite happy with the number of people we had through the door. Considering that the advert only ran once in the local paper, and the showhome is in a cul-de-sac rather than on a main road, I was pleased with the turnout we had.

The feedback I had was very positive, and the experience was definitely worthwhile.

Although a wide variety of people looked at the photographs, they seemed to like the same images.  The ones most frequently commented on were the monochrome/colour reflection of Jerusalem,

the mud buggy,

the sheep,

 

and the panoramic still shot of the Watt Fountain in Wanganui.

I survived!

I’m back from my trip to Auckland – survived the Auckland drivers, the Auckland weather and my nerves about putting myself out there and selling myself.
I visited several possible clients, and left proposal documents with each one. I also made the initial contact with some other companies, letting them know what I could do for them.
All I have to do now is follow them up, so they don’t forget about me! It’s a difficult balance to get – keeping myself on their radar without becoming a nuisance. I have to keep reminding myself that although my business is my priority, it is not necessarily a top priority for the companies I am dealing with. Patience is a virtue that I am cultivating!

I also made the time to go out and about with my camera, and got some good shots of Auckland, including a panoramic in Britomart… the underground train station. Watch this space to see what I make of those photos.

I entered this image into the Carey Smith Art Review 2011, was delighted that it was accepted for exhibition in the Sarjeant Gallery next month. The exhibition opens on July 1st, and runs for about 6 weeks. Drop in and have a look if you’re in the Wanganui area!
