Sorted!

The hardest part was just deciding on a design, and the most time-consuming bit was cleaning the photos of the products I wanted to include, but I now have a coherent portfolio! The first employer to see it has requested that I come in for an interview, so it seems the thing is doing its job. Purpose fulfilled, ergo goal worth doing, I think.
The only trouble is that the .pdf version is enormous, 20 GB, but I think I’m just going to have to accept that that issue is unsortable, pending future technological developments. I’m just going to have to send it out on a disc, rather than as an e-mail attachment, obviously. That’s okay; it’s an opportunity to show off my matching disc sticker design.

I’ve put at the bottom of my c.v.: “PORTFOLIO: Available upon request.” No one had better request it before it exists.
Thinking is NOT the same as doing

I recently had a photograph of mine accepted for a gallery show in August. That’s, of course, fantastic news and rather unexpected (I’m used to “gee, it’s nice, but…”). Which means I’ve been scrambling to get prints made, get mats and a frame for the gallery—all in after-office hours. That doesn’t leave me much time.
So, it’s time to take this seriously, if I want my photography to go anwhere. I need to find my best images and either make a series of prints or have them done and add them to my portfolio. Also, I must have some frames available to bung photos into, plus the shrinkwrap/baggies for matted, unframed prints, etc.
A bit of prep work, and the next time my work is accepted, I’ll be ready to roll!
