Well 5 months passed very quickly.. News from Mexico City includes that I have moved to the Centro Historico which means that I am now only just a few hundred meters from The Zocalo (main square) and the Aztek emperor Mochtezumas Gran Palace. A fact that I really like..!! Will upload apartment photos soon..
Besides the moving I have finally moved on the old postcard project that´s been circulating in my head for years now..!! Guess since the existing cards were so old I thought that it would be very hard to enter the market.. But hey finally something more or less easy in Mexico.. Talked to Conaculta (an government organisation that manages book/art shops around the country) and the boss-lady liked the cards and gave the go-ahead to give me a supplier number and so on...! So now I am slowly moving into more and more Conaculta shops around the city including Palacio Nacional, Bellas Artes and hopefully soon the airport shops.. On my own I am contacting other places and I am now in Hostels (Mexico City & Regina), Hotels (Condesa) and Museums, (Mexico City Museum) with more to come... Hopefully..:-)
The goal is to sell around 100cards a day which would pay my rent, parking, phone and more..!!
Besides that I will probably soon begin to shoot for a model-training agency for the wannabee models books.. Could be fun.. :-) Did my first Fashion shoot not long ago and it went okay.. Judge for yourself.
Yesterday I went to the famous Foro Alicia.. A small concert place the Roma zone of town. The bands playing were the cool Yucatan A Go-Go and the very famous band Botellitas de Jerez.. Got in for the practice and got to go on the stage, so a pretty cool night..!! Here´s some pics...
