Lastly ...
I learned a few things when we moved to Washington. We went there without jobs and without a house .. That was pretty crazy and made for quite an adventure. I learned fairly quickly that there is very little photography freelance despite canvassing every relevant business in Bellingham. That was a little disappointing but led me on another search to find a photography related full time job. Those too are pretty scarce, but when I saw the FurHaven Studio Photographer ad, I jumped at the opportunity. I Interviewed in a coffee shop near the business and was hired the next day. Best employment decision since joining the Orange County Register back in 1988.
We ended up in a great house on 1.25 acres. We had a well, propane and Chickens! Built a coop, created a great garden and went on some of the most beautiful hikes. We're going to miss it but we will visit frequently since we have family there.
I'm also going to miss all the friends I worked with at FurHaven. I say friends because they were all more than just co-workers. I learned a lot working there and it was fun watching the talented creative team grow.
I have to say, however, California has the weather to beat not to mention being so close to the beach, desert and mountains. Yep, we will miss Washington, but we're super happy to be back in SoCal.
Lastly, a huge thank you to Michele Cardon, Director of Photography at the Orange County Register. She helped me get this business up to speed quickly with much needed equipment upgrades.
More photos next time ... but in the meantime, stay in touch. And If you have any events or assignments coming up that need photography, please contact me to see if I can help. Contact info is below or you can also reach me through my website at www.nicholaskoonphotography.com.
