Your inquiries are important to me!

I was heartbroken to learn that my Contact form on my website hasn’t been working properly. When someone fills it out they’ll receive an auto-response, but the inquiries aren’t being delivered to me. Once in a while one will get through, so I had no idea it was broken until a few folks who hadn’t heard anything from me followed up. I was surprised by their follow-up since I’d never heard from them before, so it brought me to investigate. If by chance you are one of those folks who never heard back from me, I sincerely apologize. Please know that I get back to all inquiries as soon as I get them. My clients and potential clients are important to me.

Turns out the problem is being caused by web hosting company Dreamhost, and they don’t seem to have any desire to help fix the problem. As a result, I am looking for a new hosting company, if you have any recommendations please let me know.

Tax Tips for Photographers

Occasionally I get inquiries where one of the questions folks ask is if I charge tax, and the answer is “yep!”, I unfortunately have no choice. I found this document provided by the California State Board of Equalization to be extremely helpful with regards to charging tax, and thought I’d share in case any of my blog readers happen to be aspiring photographers in California looking to start their own business.

Butterfly

Recently I assisted my good friend and photography partner Greg with a photoshoot for the restaurant Butterfly here in San Francisco. I’d never been there before but will most definitely be going for dinner in the near future. We devoured the food we photographed which was as delicious as it looks, specially the the molten chocolate cake and coffee ice cream (mmm-mmm!). Below are some of the photos I took while Greg was off photographing other things.

UCSF Group Portrait

Debra Zeller — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 21:09:10 +0000

I recently photographed my largest group portrait to date for UCSF. I really lucked out because it was suppose to rain on the day of the shoot and my other location option was indoors and not very exciting. I was so happy to be able to use this spot for the shoot, it couldn’t have been any more perfect! And I lucked out with good lighting, too.
Hope everyone had a lovely NYE! Since I’m still suffering from the ear infection I decided to stay in and watch a movie. It’s really frustrating not being able to hear in one ear. At least now I can sit up without being in pain and can now get back to work.

As for 2008, I don’t know about you, but I am excited about the new year. I think it’s going to be a really good year.
