I just got home from the opening of the first (off-line) public exhibition of my photography. I'm beaming. People showed up. They bought prints. They bought calendars. We held a successful auction for one A1 framed print of this shot. About 30 prints, up to A1 size, most of which are kite aerial photos, are on display for the next two day (Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th of September) at the Nayland College Library on Nayland Road in Stoke. This has happened because a group of business studies students saw my work with kite aerial photography and wanted to build a real business around the idea. I take pictures... and they brainstorm, research, do paper work, make phone calls, market,organise, prioritise, advertise, pay the bills, do the books, book the gigs, mail invitations, hang the signage, vacuum the floor, chill the wine, serve the finger food, entertain, and hopefully count the money. All this on top of school work right in the middle of exam season. The company is called Kite 'n Click and if you are in Nelson NZ this weekend, come and have a look.
