graphic designer, web designer, photographer

Media designer is by far the shortest way to say it...

Part time work from home Mum.

I was a software engineer, development manager and prior to that marketing and pre/post sales support for software. Had my own graphic design business for a couple of years in between, but the money in the software business was much, much better.

Web design & coding as well as a bit of print design.

Marketing Manager / New Product Initiation for a commercial bread company.  Best perk is the opportunity to bring home fresh bread and rolls for dinner!

Business/technology consultant

I was Design Manager for a fire sprinkler contractor for about 10 years...  Now I'm hoping to get completely out of that and focus on a career full time with photography. 

Lawyer.

Photographer

Digital Prepress Specialist at a printer
Previously a Graphic Artist at an ad agency

Lawyer, though currently sort of full-time on microstock.

Have a degree in Radiology Technology worked in the medical field the las 15 years am now shooting stock full-time since April 2010. I also freelance for video and photo projects

Darn.  I thought you were going to say "breakin' heads"

I left the film and television industry when my husband was transferred to Central Canada.  Now I see all my old buddies getting executive producer or writing credits and it makes me very very sad.  Now my core job is driving kids around and breaking up fights and mopping up puke.  I've been a working photographer for about 7 years, and somehow the team sports part of it has avalanched.  But, now that I have earned a reputation and lots of clients, I just don't want to do it anymore.  I think they call that burnout?   I promised myself it is my last year in this gig.  I have been planning to launch a new biz, but so hard to give it any attention when I'm still getting bookings and have 7 folders left from last week to edit and order.

Why oh why didn't I just work on my stock portfolio the past 5 years?  I just don't have time for it.  Always on the computer editing clients.  If I had put half that effort into micro I think I would be in a pretty comfortable position right now.

Sorry you are feeling burned out.  But to be honest, I think your sports photography business has a lot more potential for longevity. 

I am a full time stock photographer for the last 3 years (almost exactly to the day:)). Before that I was a physicist, medical researcher, software developer for a big company. Who knows what's next:)

Who me? Naw. I "advise" people nicely on their business matters.

Space Propulsion Business Development Manager

Every time I see you're name, I think of Captain Kangaroo.  LOL  His name was Bob Keeshan.

I have had some people tell me that the Captains name was Bob Keenan.... but you are right.   I grew up with that show... Mr Green Jeans was my favorite.

I drive semi truck shorthaul.  My camera pretty much always goes with me which is why I have some */ highway travel stock photos in my portfolio.

Captain Kangaroo was the best. Well, him and Bozo!
