Hello Everyone,
Last week was crazy... Let me enlighten you as to whats going on in my life. I'm a struggling photographer, I'm an angry bartender, I've been the worse boyfriend in the world, and just recently, I've become a proud parent of a beautiful little girl. As i stated in my last entry I just had a gallery/show opening of my current work, and over the course of a month the responses haven't been pleasing. Everyone thinks it's a good idea and likes the presentation but no one purchases a print. So, the stress builds as I worry about funding and income. Funding your own show with no sponsors or financial help can get expensive. Although it's been an extreme learning experience, I now find my self a little disoriented. What now!!? How do I bounce back!!!? Should I go back to school!!!? Am I not capable of becoming a photographer who lives off of his passion....? So many questions come to mind as I sit here typing and realizing that if my work doesn't sell within a couple of years, I might just have to file for bankruptcy. That's an honest realization and a frightening one at that.
On a better note; I do have a little girl now that I must live and breathe for. Even when I'm sick or in the worse of pain from working a job that I loath, she has become is my muse, my inspiration, and my salvation.
