Tonight We Write
Tonight I am going to blog. A LOT. I have to vent. I have to discuss. I have to free my mind. I’m on the verge of an anxiety attack, according to my fiance. She may be right. I think I’m highly stressed, but in my subconscious. There is a TON going on my life/world, some good, some bad, all taking a toll. Then there is something I read online and saw on the History channel, which I won’t bring up, but my fiance and I decided lastnight that is what I use as a scapegoat for other things building up in my brain. Since the ‘not discussed’ item is far fetched, and 99% not going to happen, she/we are probably right. Anyhoo, there are some topics I want to cover tonight. I want to cover economic effects on the photography world, creativity in photography world, over saturating the photography market, life in general, how I work too much, and my lack of a social life. I’d also like to discuss the 8 month black hole that is the football OFF season. Ok, maybe I wont talk about all that. But there will be at least one lengthy post tonight that I hope you all tune in for.
Thanks for reading,
Matt
This sounds like a good teaser. I am convinced one day you will just explode. I mean a physical explosion. Blood and guts and hair…well maybe not hair. HA! I kid. I kid.
Dude I’m in the same place as you right now, I’m just confused and I’m looking at my business and I’m not where I want or need to be, and I got all this other crap going on at once and at times I just get overwhelmed. If I take a step back and deal with the little stuff first, the bigger stuff just seems to weigh more heavily on my mind because it’s more important and long lasting. Any change we make regarding business isn’t short term and it could get worse than better. While I’m not necessarily saying it’s always like that, it’s just a big risk especially right now with the bad economy and the way the industry is changing.
Looking at the other two latest posts about recession just progresses the fact that I obviously need to make some changes, but it’s hard to tell where or when I need to make them. People think it’s so easy to take pictures and make money and that’s just not the way it works. Real pro photographers spend hours and hours at what they do and for some reason people just don’t think that it happens that way. I’m also one of those people that struggle with accepting my own style. Every time I look at some “action pharmacy” is what I like to call them, I feel like I need to follow suit to stay trendy, at the same time I also realize that those trends don’t last…
I’m glad you’re addressing some of this stuff it’s nice to know I’m not the only one in the boat that feels the same way sometimes. Our only hope is to keep our chins up and know that in some way, everything always works out. We just don’t know it will, sometimes it takes years before we realize whatever happens in our lives changed it for the better.
