What's all the Buzz about?

The Photog Buzz is an online diary (some might prefer to call it a journal... which certainly sounds more manly) that follows Ryan's day to day successes and/or screw ups as he strives to start a home-based photography studio in the basement of his house.  Ryan has never worked in  a studio or even as a professional photographer.  He has, however, taken a lot of pictures, absolutely loves photography, and has owned and operated a very successful non-photography business for twelve years.  If you want to learn more about Ryan check out "Ryan's Story."  There is a link to it under "Buzz Info."

Here's the deal.  Ryan has always loved photography and figured he would become a photographer after he retired from his "real" job.  Ryan still has his "real" job, but the economy sucks right now and as a result work is verrrrry slow, giving him a lot of extra time.  Rather then sit around, he decided to speed up his plans by about fifteen years and start a photography studio NOW.

There is an amazing amount of information available on the internet and that is Ryan's main source of knowledge.  He also follows several blogs, attends conventions, and studies photography through Kelby Training On-line.

So... you're probably wondering if this guy can really become a successful photographer.  Ryan believes he can.  After all, he already knows how to run a successful business and has a strong work ethic.  All he needs now is to apply that knowledge and drive to photography.  The only way you'll know if he's successful or not, though, is to follow this blog.

Here we go!
