Bob Carney Photography

I was asked to photograph the Annual Frederick County Associations of REALTORS® Awards ceremony. This year was hosted by Ed Black and Trish Mills at the Frederick FSK Holiday Inn. The evening started off with some appetizers and a cash bar. Everyone, dressed to the nines, were meeting up with old friends and colleagues prior to the ceremonies.  The evening was topped off by a scrumptious dinner of either Roasted Turkey or London Broil.  I think Mary McLaughlin had a half a turkey on her plate.

Below are some of the shots from the banquet.  You can order any of them through my client page .  If you would like to purchase any of the photos, just add them to the shopping cart and then Print with Digibug.  There are a wide selection of print options.

I came across an article today on the Strobist about working for free. I have been contimplating on how to gain recognition and new business with out breaking the bank.  I believe in Pro-bono work for a worthy cause and couldn’t think of a more worthy cause than myself.  I believe I have found the answer with offering up free services to local businesses for exchange for enhancing my portfolio.  Of course, my intent is to create a very compelling product for them as well and gain respect from their peers of which will be (future) paying clients.

As for this article…I get it.  This will help me in a couple ways.  What type of photographer do I want to be.  I do know that art doesn’t always sell, but it makes you whole and keeps the passion inside you driving for the next best shot.  Photography with a purpose whether it be corporate, portrait or events pay the bills.  Just as in any job, once you lose the passion or stop having fun, it becomes more like work.  I hate work, but I love to have fun.

It’s about time that I start spending a little more time on this site and generate some business.  I threw this site together a few months ago and haven’t done much to it.  I think I have analysis paralysis.  Stuck in the thinking about it mode and not doing it mode.  I need to just do it…like Nike would say.

Keep checking back or at least just write down my contact info.  I am willing to give you a quote on your event.
