The next step in my process is to start approaching businesses locally and trying to work on some commercial projects while also shooting some micro.  Has anyone done this?  How did you approach them?  (Flyer, in person, both, phone, email?)

Ultimately, I would really like to start shooting food for restaurants – they prep, I shoot.  Win-win for both of us.

Restaurant/commercial food photography seems like it would be a very interesting occupation as I keep shooting my own personal food photography.  I just need to figure out how I’m going to approach them and meet their needs as well as mine.

That’s the next step.  I’m currently working hard submitting as well as trying to restart my wedding & portrait business in Portland, Maine ( http://www.bestdayphoto.com )

I also  have 20 pending to iStock, again.  I’m following through on my promise to keep submitting there.  Next: Alamy.
