The next step...

Wow! 2010 is turning out to be an awesome year so far...

Romance, engagement, wedding... Well, the wedding happened a couple of hours before the engagement party... :)

So we've now made an offer on an old bank building in a country town. We are waiting for all of the pieces to come together so I don't want to tempt fate but giving up all of the details yet. The plan is that Marion will work at a library nearby and that I can build up a photography business.

Being an old bank, the building (with residence attached) has a vault! Awesomeness!!! It is big enough to be turned into a darkroom (or cellar if that doesn't work) and I'm eagerly awaiting a chance to work out if there is a way to get plumbing into it.

So a tree change is on the way with chooks, a dog, bushland, Wilson's Prom nearby and an old (Ye Olde?) bank with a vault...

What a year! And it's not even halfway done yet...

On a related note; I finally managed to get to the third session of one of the basic darkroom courses at the Melbourne Camera Club on Monday night. I'm having visions of a photography business that has a component of traditional, hand printed, black & white imaging and maybe a gallery with local landscapes taken with my pinhole camera...

Hmmm? Bring on the rest of the year! :)
