How photographers work?
Recently interesting infographic about how the job of photographer looks like has been circulating on facebook. The data for the two charts below has been released by International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers couple of years ago and it seems that from time to time it comes back to us shared via different sites or social media.
Very true indeed, tells a bit more about how everyone perceives what photographers do against how their work looks like in reality.
I am willing to say that almost any job could be described by the views of those who imagine what does it take to do it and by those who actually have to do it on a daily basis. Don’t you think? 
Announcement
Due to changes which will happen soon in my personal life I will be placing my Etsy and DaWanda shops in vacation mode until further notice.
The last day to place order is 23rd of October and unfortunately at this point I am not able to specify the reinstating date.
Here on the blog I will keep you posted about any news and through this site I can be contacted in case of any questions, special requests or prints needing emergencies
All prints I have available through Etsy shop and in DaWanda one can be still ordered directly from my portfolio page. Just select the Fine Art section and you can find them all there.
Calendars can be ordered only through my store-front here (see above the link “Store” )
I realize this can be very inconvenient, and to apologize for it I am offering special sale: until the October 23rd you can save 15% of any order placed through Etsy (via paypal refund, unless you will contact me before placing your order) and in DaWanda (where discount will be applied automatically) and through my page, by using BBACK15 code at the checkout.
My portfolio page is going to be opened with no interruptions and BBACK15 coupon code can be used until further notice.
New Design!

Finally, after long time spent on browsing and searching, and trying to find inspiration for new design for my website I was able to find something, that matched my expectations of clean and rather simple look.
I found it while browsing the Theme Forest website. I have always liked browsing through that site, there is always something nice I can find.
This time I came across this design, which you can see currently on my page!
Just visit: www.JoannasFoto.com and see for your self!
Thank you for coming to DAW
Finally everything is organized and filed away.
And the more I do it (the shows)- the more I seem to realize, that I much more prefer the part of getting ready for the show, rather that putting leftover inventory back into their storage space, putting supplies away etc.
There is an idea in my head about why preparation to the show can be more exciting. It’s that part of not really knowing who is going to come and comment on your work and who will enjoy it, so they will want to hang it at home or office for decorative purposes. It’s the part of guessing, what inventory would be most representative of my work and at the same time- will attract customers?
The above photograph shows part of my display from DAW ( Durham Art Walk).
Now, to explain my title- this was supposed to be post written to thank all of you, who were able to come to Durham and participate in Art Walk.
I know from few of you, that the event being located throughout the downtown part of city added a little bit confusion, but maybe also some excitement, like adventure of finding undiscovered sites?
Along with few other artists I had my stand at one of the lobby of American Tobacco Campus. 
We had lots of people coming and going through the lobby. Some of them not realizing that there is an art event going on. But I think for most of them it was really nice surprise.
So- THANK YOU very much for stopping by, for chatting and sharing your opinions. I loved your excitement and I loved how you reacted to my work. I consider photography to be one of those artistic mediums, that can very easily become personal thanks to what it presents and I have noticed that type of reaction so often. I am very thankful and grateful for that, it makes me as a creator and an artist more aware of my work and gives me satisfaction of doing something, that is being appreciated.
I wanted to THANK sweet clerks at Saladelia, the little cafe located just next to my stand. The coffee was great and the smell of each fresh brew throughout both days was really awesome! Loved it! I hope you came to my blog and can read it- I really appreciate you being so nice to me!
This was my third show of this type. At the same time third different experience. And each of them adds to my personal list of different things to do, when getting ready for the next one. One day I need to write down my observations and post it here!
