Dawn Welch hasn't added a story.
Good day to all; my name is Dawn Welch. I have been taking pictures for over 30 years, ever since my first camera at 14. After encouragement from many friends, I am wanting to start my own photography business - and am in need of a good camera.
The camera I currently have is a Canon PowerShot SD-850 IS I received as a gift in 2008. Unfortunately it no longer works the way I most need it to after 3 repairs for focusing issues. While I understand that it's the person who makes pictures great (I have one B&W example above), I do feel the need to graduate to a better camera with improved resolutions.
I am looking for a Canon model in the neighborhood of $500-700 range with both HD video and photo capabilities, with the extra money for startup expenses such as materials to make a few items to get interest going. I like taking photos of many different things, especially B&Ws, unusual scenery views, and concerts, such as the following examples (all done with my current camera; the first is a picture of my husband and myself):
I have been told by some friends that the above Space Needle picture would make a great wall photo. I have also received good reviews on other photos in my collection...so why not share them somehow?
I keep getting told, "You never know unless you try."
I want to finally be self-sufficient and I believe I can do this!
I'm also just a few classes away from earning a Bachelor's degree in Communications, and I am excited to make a better life for myself - all I need is a chance. I would love nothing more than to make my own way and make people happy doing it.
IMPORTANT: If I am successful in this venture, I will also provide a minimum of a 10% product/task discount to all who donate to my cause. Special perks may be added as success continues. I believe in this idea!
Any amount will help, and ALL money is guaranteed to fund my startup attempt. Thank you so very much.
