New Light Breathes

Posted on March 16th, 2009 by Ted Chen in The Business

Starting a business is certainly tough, as tough as juggling a small stone at Union Square! Not only do I have to worry about the service (photography), taxes, bills and profits all eat at my brain in every other moment I don’t spend behind the camera. But it’s a life I am dedicated to from here on, far removed from a young adult’s feeble wanderings, unsure of what profession to take.

And the first hurdle is to get this website up and running like a seasoned athlete. Right now I’m doing multiple tasks at the same time: building a credible portfolio, designing the front page, creating a new blog, and acquiring the level of expertise that is required of a professional.

It’s hard, even though it’s spring break in Columbia University‘s  journalism school.  I’ve got two assignments due right at the restart of school, and I’m struggling to set up my front page using Dreamweaver. It’s funny how I have to dedicate so much time to writing, even though I’d rather focus that energy on photography. But it’s only two more months before graduation, and those writing skills will stay with me for life, so I’m not whining.

Please use this blog to follow my adventures through this new phase of my life. School’s almost done, and I’ll be graduating to the working world. Sad as that may sound, I’m pleased the path is photography, something I thoroughly enjoy and can spend endless hours doing. To read more about my background and passions, please see my bio.
