Let them eat cake!...or pie.

Recently, I have had some very eye opening experiences happen to me. Some of them being personal, well who am I kidding they were all personal. I have been feeling as if the process of becoming a professional photographer or a successful photographer at that, is an incredible roller coaster. I know that any industry has its ups and downs, but I feel as if my ups and downs are so frequent and vicious. I have been getting different offers in, bidding on jobs, working pro bono, designing promotional material for fundraisers and everything seems to be coming and going. It seems everyday I want to dive head first into marketing myself aggressively, blogging aggressively, and going full speed ahead but something seems to stop me, or someone doesn't want to pay me, or something seems to happen. I am feeling a bit frustrated today, and I figure that things are not all beautiful all the time. I am just at a loss on where to go. I took this image of a piece of pie at a very well known restaurant the other day, and it seemed to go very well. The image was used for what it was, but it ended up being the end of a relationship with a client of mine. I was upset the way the relationship ended, but it was clear to me that it was not a healthy work relationship. That was just the beginning of things starting to go sour in my photography for the week. I think maybe we can toss this week out, and start to continue forward. I emailed a new design firm today to invest in redesigning my professional website. We will see! You have to spend money, to make money...RIGHT!? I also bought a plane ticket to Denver to see one of my best friends to make me feel better. That should help :p
