Photography by Susannah

My photos will be displayed in a local Starbucks for the month of October. They scheduled me for this last September so I have know about this for over a year but tonight (yes, the night before) I spent hours trying to get all the last minute details together. Its not that I left it entirely to the last minute. I thought about it often and even took some new photos and searched for some software to help me make a business card, one that I could put a couple of my favorite photos on. Here it is 2:30 in the morning and I guess I am ready (or at least I have to be). I have the pictures ready to go (except for two that I need to pick up a mat that was specially cut for them) and I now have business cards. (that is what I have been doing most of the evening) Part of what stalled me on the business cards was the fact that I have no name. So in the end (after countless try’s of trying to get photos on the cards) I ended up with a simple card and a simple name - Photography by Susannah. There you have it.

Now that I have it all ready to go I am faced with what exactly am I doing here? A business card would imply that I wanted business but I am not so sure about that. I took photos of a friends kid and it was a lot of work and the results were less than stellar. I felt that my friend was disappointed and she wasn't even paying me so I am not sure if I want that added stress. So even though I am not so sure why I am doing this, my photos go up if a few hours with a business card without a phone number, only and email address (I didn't want to be too available)
I am nervous but too tired to really think about it.
