My mother somehow knows the Publisher for Umbrella Publishing, who publishes the high end magazines back in Orange County (my home town), and has told him about my photography. He wants samples of my work this evening and he will be in Denver in two weeks, so I suppose if he likes my work, perhaps a meeting with him.
Quite frankly, I do not feel like my work is anywhere near the calliber of phtoography that Umbrella Publishing would be looking for. Yet. Getting there....but there's equipment that is needed and things that need to be accomplished first before I can confidentally say "My work belongs in a magazine."
This weekend I am getting the sensor cleaned in my 20D. $60 to clean a damn little piece of glass, but seeing as I've had it for 3 years and never done it, I'm assuming its nessesary.
My high quality images are lacking that crystal clear clarity that they should have, and I have a sneaking suspicion its the 3 years of collected microscopic dust particles that have collected on my camera sensor. We'll see how that goes / what that changes.
My next big purchase will be an external flash. I need one in a bad way. The Canon 580EX is on my list of things to buy. I just now need $500 to drop out of the damn sky.

Progress sounds expensive! If nothing else, the meeting could be a start. If your work isn't ready, perhaps he can give you feedback as to what it needs to be ready.
Oh and I may have a "rigger" for August...
