"So where do you work?" 2021 Edition

In 2021, I had over 225 locations for my work, the vast majority being real estate photo projects (something around 165 properties), but also multiple weddings, surprise proposals, family portraits, corporate facility tours and headshots, The Angolan ambassador's photo op, aerial property inspections, birthday parties, ceremonies of life, pet portraits, and vacations photos (one of the vacations was even my own!).  I even started giving some lessons and tutoring others on taking better photos, which combines two of my passions of teaching and photography.

The majority of my jobs were in the Portland Metro area, but I drove as far as Astoria and Reedsport on the coast, as well as a 3-day road trip for commercial properties in Pendleton, La Grande, and Burns in Eastern Oregon.

​I photographed, edited, and delivered roughly 21,000 images (I don't want to think how many hours this took staring at the computer screen).  I also created roughly 60 videos, the vast majority being real estate tours of homes.

I flew my drone 120 times for different projects, covering roughly 90 miles over 22 hours of flight time, and continue my record of 0 crashes or accidents (one close call, stupid seagull). 

Possibly the most impressive thing: I did not need to cancel a single project, and only needed to delay a few due to weather conditions (the drone doesn't like rain).

It will be exciting to see what 2022 brings for photo projects!
