A year ago today, I think I spent the entire 24 hours glued to the computer. Furiously typing, listing, tagging, uploading, and voila! Loud Waterfall Photography had an Etsy shop & a Facebook page. A year later, I have many new dear friends, a few photos scattered throughout the world, a brand new blog that I am still trying to get the hang of, and a sense of accomplishment that I've managed to keep something alive for this long.
What will the next year hold? I have a few branches I am thinking of adding to the tree. New products based on my images, maybe a trip or two to replenish the archives and the soul. An expansion to the family is in the blueprints and permits stage (pinkprints?!?). The house needs a bit of a revamping - Pinterest has a way of igniting the fires & imagination. The next 12 months are shaping up to be full of excitement & adventure ....

| Downtown Los Angeles - Chinatown - Walk-About |
Thank you for joining me on my little adventure! I'm having lots of fun and learning even more. If you are ever in the Los Angeles area, I would love to buy you a cup of coffee (glass of wine?!!) and maybe we can go for a walk-about with our cameras ...
Hurray! Happy Birthday, LWP!! Wow, a year already.. It seems to go so fast! And lots of new ideas (trips are ALWAYS good, helps to put things in perspective and gets your creativity up!) Thank you so much for all your help and for being awesome! I wish I lived closer, I would definitely have a cuppa (and wine next) with you! And afterwards we could go for a walk through Chinatown, it looks absolutely fab! LOVE that second photograph by the way, that fog is so mysterious! Can't wait for my pic to arrive :) Wishing you a fantastic second year with lots of fun and many sales! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Danny! So glad I can call you a friend ...

Yay! Congrats, Chelsea! So glad I've gotten to "meet" you through Etsy, facebook & our little chats! Love my photo :) Have to frame it & hang it next to my desk here! I agree the one above of the Golden Gate Bridge is awesome in the fog! Very best wishes for an awesome year!

many congratulations on your 1st birthday and may i raise a toast to a good many more to come xx Oh to visit your part of the world - what an adventure that would be; it would be hard for us to be further apart geographically! I am in utter lust with my Eiffel Tower photo, can hardly wait to get it framed xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYour photo should arrive today or tomorrow - my fingers are crossed. I'm coming to visit you -- I simply must get to the Emerald Isle!
DeleteI just hit my 1st year in April... I know exactly what you mean about being on the computer for 24 hours straight when starting up your Etsy shop, it's a lot of work and learning, but fun, especially when your image sells to international destinations you dream about visiting... it's almost like a part of yourself is living in that other place!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 year Chelsea, and here's to an exciting 2nd! ^_^
