Like I mentioned in my last post, I’ve got a lot going on personally right now that is requiring my attention, so I have not been able to keep up with my blog posts as much as I had hoped to. Since it seems harder and harder these days to get by on just my publishing income and art sales are slim due to the economy, I need to take better advantage of the tangential things related to my work to bring in some new business. I have been getting a fair bit of traffic to my website without really trying for my photo-workshop/tours. I need to refine and add more pages to that portion of my website. With my new found SEO skills, I am confidant that I can bring in some new clients. For example, take a look at my Google search results for Patagonia Nature Photography Workshops. I need to make my site come up high in every manner of searches for whatever type of photo workshops I want to offer. I also need to better define the tour products that I am currently offering.
I am also actively soliciting website SEO work from other photographers and small businesses. I’ve got a few clients that I have already sold on my SEO skills, now I just need to work on their sites. I also intend to build a web page for that aspect of my business, because I believe it is so important for every website to take advantage of the free advertising that comes from the search engines.
Here is another great image from my recent Steller sea lion shoot. This sea lion is biting the front of my dome port. Even with the dome and a +2 diopter, you can still see that it is a little soft around the mouth, but is that close or what? This images was created with my Canon 5D digital SLR in an Ikelite underwater housing with 2 Ikelite DS160 strobes set on Manual to -4, at f4 and 1/125 second.
