Next I’d like to get a nice backdrop, stool and lights. Hopefully selling the pool table and surfboard will help with that. 3 months ago

So far I have a backdrop stand, five black and silver umbrellas, one white umbrella, two light stands, two small stands, one reflector, one flash, tripod and sync cords. 3 months ago

So, I thought this was going to be a far-off, longer term goal given my current circumstances, but it turns out there’s a local shared workspace in a huge warehouse that opened up, and I got a membership with them, and ended up sharing space with someone who already had space there (I’m on a waitlist for my own space, but it’s 150 people long). It’s just a “cubicle” but you can build it out (and up) to suit your needs. People are great, and it’s a great community, really encouraging and a mix of quiet and noisy spaces. Just what I needed and in my budget. 12 months ago
