enterprise

Business ideas
I would like to use my photography to base the business around.
I could try to sell greeting cards or maybe calendars but the problem is the printing as we don't have a working printer and then there's how to sell them? We could go door to door, try and get a shop in town to sell them or maybe sell them on trademe or something but for all of those you need to print copies. We will have to pay to have them printed and that might cost quite a bit.

I could also...use photoshop to make fantasy images, or fractal images for the card designs.

I could do some research like asking the photographer in town that makes his own cards (Stewart Nimmo) or ask Vidron greeting cards if they would use my photos for their cards or the photographer; Rob Suisted who's website is www.naturespic.com

Bird Watching

I've seen a lot of birds around at the moment and I've got a couple of pretty good photos to match so ill put on some of the good ones for you to see

today there were two Tuis calling to each other (I only saw one) and a Bellbird sadly I couldn't photograph them as they were behind branches and they were just silhouettes

yesterday I got some photos of a song thrush


there's lots of fantails around and they seem to like hanging around our damson tree they are good to photograph because you can get quite close but they do move very fast.

there was a couple of sparrows around a day or two ago which were quite funny


and lots of wax eyes which hang around the acacia trees which is just starting to flower so hopefully I'll get some photos soon

there's always blackbirds


down at the beach there's been paradise ducks


and a shag :) which sat up on the bridge with big trucks driving past but when we got close under the bridge it flew away :P
