The ads have to go
They have been driving me nuts since I redesigned the site and though tossing them in might generate a few extra bucks each month.
Yes, they’ve generated a few (very few) extra bucks each month. But I honestly can’t say the eyesore annoyance is worth it.
I’m also not sure I can go through with the project to start selling my photography online. I’ve spent almost 3 months flipping through thousands and thousands of photos I’ve taken around the world over the last few years and have come to a couple of conclusions:
1) I’m not stock worthy. My style is snapshots and artsy-fartsy. Definitely not marketable to a corporate climate.
2) I’m afraid it won’t be successful. I have to start studying (hard) for Step 2 in March and am worried that investing time in this project just won’t pay off. Maybe sometime in the future.
In the meantime, I’m still writing search engine articles at $9-a-pop and piling up student loan money, generous donations from my parents, and spare change from between the couch cushions to pay my next $10,000 tuition installment by March 31st. After that, only TWO MORE TO GO. I absolutely know the day I pay off all of this debt will be heart-soaring thrilling, but a close second will be the day I make that last bank-account-sucking-giant-investment toward the piece-of-paper-that-is-the-magic-carpet-of-my-wildest-dreams.

Glad that you are going to remove those ads from your site. I have to say that was one of the things I thought was so awesome with your site was the lack of ads. You don’t need that little and I do mean little bit of extra money babe. Maddy, Suh and I have got you covered : )
