Expectations

I took a leap of faith yesterday by sending out my portfolio to some big name photographers and I have received one response back. It was from Mr. Chase Jarvis himself. It isn’t what I was hoping for when it comes to my dream response but it was honest. I will post it here.
“Hi Kyle. Thanks for sending in your work. I took a peek and it looks like you're off to a great start as a photographer. The reality is that I get so many requests to review work - sometimes 40 or more in a day - that I can't spend the time to give any detailed feedback...but just know that you're heading in the right direction. Keep it up! In the meantime...”
It is what I expect from many of the emails that I sent out. I expect to get one or two responses like this and to receive nothing back from many other ones. It is not that I think that I don’t deserve a response it is the fact that I don’t know when to start small and work my way up. I have chosen some of the best photographers in the nation. I guess that I need to back off, well no way. I hope that my prestiance will pay off. I am going to attach a video that I found on a blog and I have to say that it is amazing. I know that I have like 3 people that read this on a regular basis and most of them won’t understand the HDR process but this is really cool and really out there. It is the first time that I have seen it done. Enjoy!!!
