I said yesterday that today would be something inspirational; well I don’t know if this will be but it meant something for me.
Today I put some faith in Karma. I sent my portfolio to some big name photogs and asked them to review it and tell me what they thought. I don’t what will come of this but I took that step and put myself out there. I am having to start looking for employment when I get back and getting my portfolio done is one HUGE piece of that puzzle. There is nothing like saying that you are a photographer and then someone asking to see your portfolio and you being like “ummm, ummm…. Here is the start of it…” that just sucks and makes you look as if you were just a hobbyist. I am not a hobbyist I am a full blown professional photographer. I pay my bill and live because I shoot for a living. Now I am not making money on what I shoot but I am still shooting.
The other thing that I realized is that is that I don’t have a lot of friends over here but I have a group of friends that are really close friends. I have friends that I can talk to about whatever I need to. They don’t care what it is, they won’t judge me or look at me weird. Those are true friends and I am glad to have them. Well I hope that it was halfway inspiring. Well it is Friday night and I have nowhere to go but my room, and that is where I am going.
