My goal is to keep you up to date on everything Will Knowles (professional, social, spiritual, emotional, etc). I've tried and failed... and chalk it up to not having much to say/me not leading a terribly exciting life. But i think that with combining all aspects of my life and interests, i can hopefully carry out a semi-succesful web-log.
If the first few weeks are an insight into what the rest of the year will look like, I'd say that there is a lot of good in store. On January 2nd, I got married to the love of my life, Liz Fitzsimons (now Knowles). As soon as my friend and mentor, David Molnar, releases some photos of the day, i intend on making those photos public to you, the reader. (EDIT: During the writing of this, Dave put a slideshow up of the pics!) Another exciting part of these first few weeks is that Liz and I are settling into our home. We're spending Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift cards like there's no tomorrow. We've also made several large purchases... A big red comfy couch and the 5D Mark II. Im slightly more excited about the camera. Its the first of purchases this year of which im hoping will provide the backbone of my photo career. Now, don't get me wrong, gear wont make me get there, but it certainly wont hurt!
I've been doing a lot of dreaming about this next year, I can't tell you how excited I am about what it will bring professionally. This is the year I put myself in a position to be a full-time professional photographer in 2011 or not. Now don't get me wrong, thats my title for 2010, but i just need the projects to sustain the title. I've got a few months before I'll be super busy with weddings. As daunting as week after week of weddings sounds, i'm really excited. I've found some new inspiration in the work of Tec Petaja and Jose Villa. I just love their discerning eye. You could say I'm jealous...
You might be wondering what a full-time photographer does without projects. Well, me too. I feel more like a stay-at-home-dad-minus-kids/photographer. While my wife teaches, I clean, work on finances, and hone my craft. Today has given me this. The prototype to what i want my product photography to feel like.
