stay positive
i get a lot of emails from aspiring photographers, established photographers, hopeful assistants and 'fans': hate mail and love letters.
because i get to write what i like here, and i don't want to bore y'all with the minutiae of everything, i guess it's possible to imagine that i have a fabulous, always busy, glamorous (even) life without financial troubles and free of insecurity.
that of course isn't quite how it is.
the last two weeks have been very quiet...not through choice.
and at times like this, i find i have to pay attention to the notes i leave around for myself.
like 'stay positive' which is pinned to the window frame in front of my computer.
hard to keep motivated and not hibernate when you're (i am) feeling unemployed/unemployable...especially in the winter.
it's the downside of being a) creative and b) self-employed.
i will encourage my sons away from anything that isn't banking, commodity broking or after yesterday's shoot: divorce lawyer-ing.
anyway...the 'it never rains, it pours' rule has kicked in and i've some some proper (great) jobs coming in, i'm busy for the next few weeks at least and i'm having to turn work down through my own unavailability.
THIS is the way i like it.
there's no such thing as too busy: there's only panic and dread if i'm 'quiet'.
just thought those of you who experience the same, should know you're not alone...
new going up today: duran duran, more diary pics, new work by maximum, girls aloud and some shots of yours truly...
