I've realized lately that I'm constantly prospecting for new business. Business cards are always bulging my pockets, my iPhone contains my portfolio and is always ready to show anyone at a moment's notice, and I try to carry my camera around as a conversation starter.
Just the other day, I was in Starbucks on my laptop getting some administrative work completed when I overheard the word "photography". That always makes my ears perk up! I looked over to my right, and a photographer was showing his portfolio to a man. Upon his leaving, I approached the man and told him that I overheard the word "photography". We got to chatting, and I showed him my work. Now he's using his connections in the industry to shop my images! Vincent Kamin is his name. He's my new rep. Although my book needs some work, I'm very pumped up at yet another random coffee shop connection!
