One of the challenges in working as a photographer is finding suitable studio space. There are lots of "spaces" available, but often choosing a space comes down to the vibe you get when you walk in, as well as the other inhabitants of the building/warehouse/studio, etc. You ideally want something that is client-ready (meaning you're able to effectively direct clients to it), and projects a professional appearance. Each of the spaces I've looked at (and they were all great) had one drawback or another: not central enough for easy access, not client-ready, too expensive, not enough space, etc.
I've typically shot on location - as (primarily) a wedding photographer, you go where the event is. But I'm increasingly finding that I actually need a space to call my own (other than the space I've taken over @ home).
So, after several fits and starts, I have secured a great space. It's a shared warehouse space near SAFECO Field. Each artist has their own slice of the warehouse to make their own, and it's full of highly-creative people. I'm really excited about being there, and look forward to all of the photography work that I can get done out of the rain and out of my living room. ;-)
