Cooking is a subset of their overall dealy. They are also a business school, an IT school, a hotel-managing school, and . . . some other majors that I'm not remembering right now. They were looking for graphics software instructors a year or two ago, but I guess I wasn't their cup o' tea.
My general impression of J & W is that it's a school for people who want to learn actual real-world things. Like learning all they need to be a Restaurant Manager, for instance. I had a friend who did that, and is now in Colorado, managing a restaurant for one of the major ski/snowboarding mountains.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around that concept: this guy went to school, graduated, and immediately found a job in something that he was studying. That's so out of whack with the experiences of me and my liberal arts/conservatory degree-holding friends.
My schoolmarms are both banned from commenting on my journal. Well, one of them isn't, but he has to log in to a rarely-used account and he knows he's not welcome.
I won't lj-cut unless I feel like it. This journal is primarily for me: the rest of you can use your scroll wheels or buy mice that have them. ;P
What photography are you planning to do for these people who are getting married? The wedding itself, or something else? (If it's the wedding itself, you should go to the library, get a couple books on wedding photography, and think about whether you really want to do that. And if you do want to be a wedding photographer, well, think about becoming a wedding photographer in general, and perhaps also think about what office space you might want to have for selling yourself to clients if you're going to do that. Wedding photography can be profitable, but I would find it to be depressing, I think
( ... )
I am going to shoot my friend's wedding. I may also do portraiture before/after: not sure if they want that yet.
I'm pretty much past the book stage. I worked as a Photographer's Assistant to the best Wedding Photographer in RI several years ago. I know what I'm doing, though I will probably ask my current employer (I start as a Photographer's Assistant to another Wedding Photographer in April) a few questions, as I think of them.
Right now, I have a home office. I am going to move soon, and we're looking at appartments where I can have a larger home office. I won't need an actual studio for quite awhile yet.
Business plan! Good idea! Eh, I'll get around to doing that for one of my businesses, someday. Currently, I have a credit card that's nowhere near full and a devil-may-care attitude.
I also seem to be buying just stuff I need, at least for Kitipe Invite. I'll probably wait for decent revenue to roll in before I launch Kitipe Photography. Camera equipment is much more expensive than, uh, paper and ink.
Not very. Seems to me that clients come based on recommendations from their friends, ads in certain newspapers/magazines, and one may have to present oneself at a wedding expo or two, to get their name "out there". Once the ball is rolling, though . . . established photographers get most of their clients through word of mouth. Anu didn't even bother placing ads for her last few years of business . . . and she was only a Wedding Photographer for 5 or 6 years, total!
