Unemployed

I have re-written my resume a thousand times since January… I have emailed and hand delivered my resume to dozens and dozens of firms, but to no avail.

OUR GAME PLAN: Sara would stay home and we would get by with one income… well we have managed to get by… but this Monday, Sara is going to return to work... and we are not giving up our plan, just buying time.

Not all of my time has been wasted looking for work… I have been able to spend an incredible amount of time with Sara, Maggie and family, which would have never happened otherwise.

Anyway, instead of investing my time trying to find work in ARCHITECTURE, I have decided to put my otherwise dormant skills to work. Once upon a moon, I sold my camera and equipment to help pay for graduate school, and I said good-bye to my photography endeavor, which was doing well but I knew I could not do everything.

After I graduated, I started collecting camera gear again and I recently updated my wedding photography website. Anyway, I never advertised myself and if anyone has advise or wedding leads, please check out our site or leave us a note.

Thanks!

  1. Hi Stanford! I didn't realize that you have been looking for a job all this time. That sounds REALLY frustrating. I will definitely put your name out there to anyone I know who is looking for a wedding photographer. Best of luck!

  2. Cool idea about the photography! You are really good. Have you thought about doing family and children? There are a lot of people out there looking for eye catching family/kid photos.

    I'll do a post for you on my blog. And if I ever have money.....I'll call you up to do a photoshoot ;)

  3. I was actually just this week thinking about Sara going back to work... and feeling really bummed for both of you that you haven't been able to find a job still. I totally support you jumping back into photography. Do you want me to write an anecdote/quote/recommmendation to put on your photography website? I'm a fan. It was kind of fun to go to it and see some of our wedding pictures :). I echo Meridy that you should advertise family, baby, senior pictures... not just weddings. If any of our singles friends here in Cedar are getting married, I'll recommend you.

  7. I am glad you are doing this Stanford. I think you are an awesome photographer!! I agree to advertise for family and kids too. I LOVE so many pictures you have done of our family and boys. But, weddings are awesome too. I hope you get some work going with that.
