I’m a bit late, but Zack Wussow Media just passed it’s ninth anniversary. Typically I do a quick post with some thoughts about the last year, but I’ve been putting it off because this has, obviously, been a weird year.
Actually, it was already unusual for me personally in the second half of 2019. Many of you know I have worked for a yearbook photo company in the fall for many years. My 2019 season was cut a little short when an opportunity came up to start a new, year-round position in graphic design for a company down the street. It was looking like the future might be quite different for me…
Then 2020 happened. That company folded, and I was back to 100% photography. Except weddings, events, even portrait sessions were canceled indefinitely due to COVID-19.
Now as my tenth year gets going, the wedding industry is slowly creeping back to life, maybe?, and the end of 2020 is looking a lot more like years of the past. Weddings and yearbooks, albeit both with big asterisks depending on how things go.
What’s that tenth year actually hold? No idea. I’m fortunate to say my personal situation, family, etc. mean my wife and I will be fine for the foreseeable future. But no doubt, that future is murky.
I hope you are all doing well.
