One of the biggest things I have struggled with from way way way back is the notion that in order to succeed you need to convince others of your worth. They don't seek you out, you need to promote Smart people get this and they either devote a part of their lives to this goal or they hire someone to do this. Hollywood stars have agents and personal assistants! This is brilliant. I love this concept. I need this!
I can't afford this!
I'm not a great photographer. I make nice images and I do work hard at what I do and I think I do good work. But I know great photography and I think I come close at times, but great photographers don't come close, they nail it time and time again. But I think I could maybe make some pictures that people might think are worth having in their homes.
This is something I might be trying to put out there soon. Perhaps via Etsy or another means. Images that people might think are pretty cool to hang in their homes. This image of a duck on Conneaut Lake for example. I made this picture and made a print of it for a friend of mine. She liked the image and I thought it was great that she did. Hers is the original and I'm thinking I might make an edition of prints of it like this that I could sell. I don't know if there is a market for my work or not, as I said I haven never been comfortable with trying to sell myself...I just work and make stuff. Maybe this will be something that works, maybe not.... but I will continue to make stuff regardless.
