it's been a while

It has been a while since I've posted on this blog. I suspect many of you have made it over to my new business blog on my photography webpage, but I still haven't forgotten about this one.

Being a freelance photographer is tough. Every day is different, everyone you meet is a potential client, every photoshoot is a blessing. I realized today that I may be taking the business side of things a bit too seriously. Sure, I'm stressed generally about running my own small business at 24 and with no education or prior training in such things. I'm a little worried about my future and my career and whether or not I'll be one of those 60 year old guys working in a camera bag shop. Sometimes I still fret about when and where I'm going to get money. I'm scared sometimes that I'll fail. I fear I will not be always be a photographer.

But in the end, I know I will be. I know I will always be fine. I will be a successful photographer. I am a successful photographer, so I guess I should say I will continue to be such. But I can't let it get too serious, ya know? That's not my style. It's there, it's on the path, I'm working hard for it, (REALLY hard for it) but I'm still enjoying every moment of life.

And sometimes it just takes a little blog post for me to realize that.

Peace,
