I&#8217;ll start with some social media to help me transition from the job to the business. Oh, look! There&#8217;s a fellow photographer with a great idea! You know what? I&#8217;m going to jump on this bandwagon and present my Federal Furlough Special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up above, you have a photo of an empty chair in front of a formal backdrop. I&#8217;ve been occupying a different chair for my employer on weekdays, working to fulfill various job duties. Across the country, thousands of furloughed federal workers have left their chairs at work empty. I don&#8217;t know how many are in Oklahoma, but there are certainly more than I would care to count. In this particular situation, one is too many. I don&#8217;t intend to get political here, but if I&#8217;m sending tax dollars to Washington, D.C. to help cover your paycheck, I expect the Federal Government to do it&#8217;s part and make sure you receive your fair share of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, so many things I want to say about this, but my time and effort is better put towards doing something that can potentially help those who need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, for the remainder of the current government shutdown, I am offering my services to those in need. If you are furloughed or otherwise without employment and in need of a headshot to assist in finding work, you are welcome to <a href=\"mailto: mark@markgunterphoto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"set an appointment (opens in a new tab)\">set an appointment<\/a> with me, my camera, a backdrop, and the empty chair at the top of this post. Come looking your best and we will get you set up with a digital image, ready to use, within minutes. No charge. You don&#8217;t even need to credit me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure&nbsp;domestic Tranquility, provide for the common&nbsp;defence, promote the general&nbsp;Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our&nbsp;Posterity&#8230;<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/founding-docs\/constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Preamble to the Constitution of the United States<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, when the elected members of our government fail to fulfill the promise of our Constitution, we the people still have power to render aid to our countrymen.
