Preparing for a shoot
Published by on October 14th, 2009 6 Comments »
Just spent the morning shooting 50mm still and HD video for content for both this site and my new business.
Did I say business? Oh! I just realised I haven’t mentioned the business here! Well, the business is an absinthe shop, actually Absinthe-Shop.com and I am rebuilding that existing domain from the bottom up. It was an absinthe retailer before me, but I’ve been called in to make it an even better place to both buy and learn more about absinthe. It’s a huge and wonderful opportunity for me and I’m so thrilled to turn my hobby into a job. I even quit my ‘day-job’ for it and so I’m back to web work through the wonders of eCommerce. It’s all very exciting!
On a side note– if you come here for the information, thank you, and I won’t be using this blog purely as a sales pitch and nothing more. No, I still love to blog about absinthe and will do so here as a separate entity. The work will creep in and I will link to some products here and there, but Absinthe Hour will not turn into the Absinthe-Shop blog. Consider them cousins, but this blog has been around for a couple of years on its own and will continue to do its own thing.
And to bring you up to date with the wormwood…
This is the strongest plant of the bunch, although there is another little pot on the windowsill doing very well. Hooray!

I expected to see a pistol and revenge flick from that headline.;) Seriously though, Exciting stuff! I realize you are now much further along, please keep at it!
Absolutely. The shop is taking longer than I wanted, but that just means it will be as right as I can make it from the start. No harm in focussing on details as the rest of the project comes together.
It’s going well and I am dying to show it to everyone!
(And sorry no revenge flick… Damn my catchy headlines.
)
Your photography is A++ Good luck with the shop, remember to pack in lots of poisonous rhetoric to win favour with the penniless loons that hang out in the forums.
Great pictures. I really like the classy setup.
Seeing how great it looks really makes me want
to try my hand at some decorative wormwood as well.
Good luck with the shop and I cant wait to see the videos.
By the way I must add, that is one adorable sugar dish.
Thank you, In Absinthia!
That’s not really wormwood, it’s parsley.
Kidding. ; )
The site is looking gorgeous!
