5 Star Rating on iStockphoto!

I was ELATED yesterday when I saw that "Exclusive Photographer", Aleksandar Georgiev, rated my photo with 5 stars. The man's pix are AMAZING & he is currently in the top Most Popular Images [http://www.istockphoto.com/most_popular.php] on iStockphoto!! I really appreciate his rating.

Am planning an outing this weekend to work on getting more images to submit. Will post any interesting snippets I collect on the journey.

Did you say "Wine"?

How does one fund their photography passion in the off-season, you ask? Well, they explore all their passions and try to manifest them into $$ making opportunities. One of mine is wine -- I love finding new types - Red or White. So to answer my own question above... Yes, I've officially launched a separate Independent Wine Consulting role for WineShop at Home.

What happens after you become a consultant? Well, I started by "Hosting" my first Wine Tasting weekend for 10 people. Am very excited to report that I now have 4 more private Tastings booked & 3 of the guests became Wine Club members ;-) We had a good time sipping, swirling, and trying new varietals. Attendees were amazed at the difference in flavors when doing simple food parings like cheeses, deli meats, crackers, and chocolates with these handcrafted Artisan Wines! Everyone had a great time & I was thankful for a non-intimidating crowd to do my official "launch" of the business.

I have quite a few spots open for February, so if you'd like info on Hosting your own Private Tasting please see my official web page -- http://www.wineshopathome.com/angiejoyce. Am 'pouring' within 50 to 65 miles of the Everett area of Washington State. [I may be pursuaded to consider elsewhere if it's somewhere really fun! HA!]

Cheers!
