Why is it when you start tasting a little bit of success, or you start feeling better about yourself and the direction you are going in, people have to start talking shit and try to bring you down? Jealousy. It's fucked up!
I know some of the photography I have been doing lately hasn't been paying me cash - but I ENJOY doing it. One day, it will pay off, in one way or another for me. The works I have been doing are giving me MONDO experience with my art, allowing me to express my creativity, and getting me acclimated to my digital camera. Moreover, the people I have been meeting are great!
I used to get jealous looking at other photographer's works. Now that I look back, it wasn't jealousy; I was merely just pissed at myself for not getting out there and doing my art. It was always one excuse or another as to why I wasn't doing it. No more! I know I CAN and WILL do my art. It makes me happy and feeds my soul. I just needed a swift kick in the ass to realize it. Thank you (again) Micky.
A person, who I thought was a friend since she helped me out, mocked the direction I want to take with my photography. Anyone can do the polished glamour photos you see in magazines. I want to zero in on artsy, creative, dark, edgy and raw images, with emphasis on working in the horror genre. She mocked me saying there isn't that big a calling or following for that. I heard the same thing 10 years ago when I started doing Gothic photography, and I listened and missed that boat. There is a huge demand for that now. I'm not going to make the same mistake again. I'm not saying I won't do the ritzy glamour or other types too, but my major emphasis will be on the raw, in your face stuff. I am working with Old School Sinema right now, and I love the girls I have worked with so far and look forward to more projects with them.
I am tired of jealousy. Life is too short. If you like my works and want to work with me, let me know. If you want to try to bring me down and bother me in one way or another, forget it. I am done with negative and toxic people in my life. You are no longer welcome, and I make no apologies for that.
