Time to play catch-up

Well as many of you know I am now living in Michigan and on top of that I have been slacking on my blog but time to change that now that I am now doing my art & photography full-time.  A lot has happened since my last post and move and all for the good.  I will get all of you caught up as I get regular at posting on my blog but today, wow, today I have been doing the fast food wifi thing all day.  Why, well I shot a kids 100 yard dash, 5k and 10k all on Saturday morning at Atwood Park.  So why didn't I load the photos this weekend, well we headed to camp immediately following the race where wifi is a fancy word for good luck.  So with plenty of bugs and no signal I am now sitting in Wendy's uploading photos at a rate of 150 per hour onto the Backprint race page where I host my race photos for sale.  I went to McDonald's first but there I could only load 55 photos an hour so I packed up after the trial batch and headed to Wendy's.  After today I am determined to find out which fast food chain or coffee shop has the fastest wifi.  If you know of any please let me know because one can only eat so much fast food, see why health care is so expensive and wonder how hard it is really to get a job when you have places like this to work.  At this point I am about 350 photos deep into uploading with 300 more to go.  I am going to miss Italian night at the campground but the wife is going to make me a special plate and put it to the side for me.  So the lesson of this is work from home if you can and if you work from home get the fastest connection you can because time is money in any field but especially to a photographer or artist.  For those of you that would like to see where my race photos can be purchased go to backprint/chrisgladdue.com or backprint.com/chrisgladdue, I forget and can't get in to check.  Also, I have officially launched my website for both my photography and art as well, this one I know, chrisgladdue.com so go check it out and keep checking back because I am making time for my blog from this point forward.
