Need a career, not a job
I feel like I am falling behind because I don’t have a career. I have a job, which is awesome don’t get me wrong, but it seems so far away from what I actually want to be doing. It’s not that I don’t like my job. The freedom is wonderful and there is no stress but it is also something that anyone with half a brain could be doing. In short, I am bored with it. I have been applying for photography job after photography job and have heard nothing back from anyone. What am I doing wrong? Maybe my resume really sucks… but I have had two pretty intelligent people help me out with it so it is probably in the best shape I could get it in. It also could be the money issue because I am not that willing to take a pay cut at this stage in the game. One photography position I saw said it would start at $8.50/hr… ouch. I didn’t even bother to apply for that one even though it sounded really cool. :::sigh::: Maybe I should hit up some of my old photography teachers and see if they have any advice. I just don’t have the guts to quit and try and live off freelancing. That steady paycheck is something that I just have to have.
I wish I was the type of person who could be happy with any job, even if it is not doing something I love but I am just not. But I guess I just need to be patient, enjoy the super easy job that I have and find constructive things to do with my stupid amount of downtime at this job. I have been trying to get in with the creative department here but the openings are non-existent and I can’t get the time of day from the guy who books the freelance photographers.
Maybe I should go back and take some more classes. I actually have never taken a digital photography class, perhaps it would help me out and give me that edge I need. I think I will look into that!
This is one of my favorite photos that I have taken. I think it is just beautiful in it’s simplicity. Have to give myself a pat on the back for this one.
I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
i love flowers
This is a coneflower in front of my house. Just planted them this year and I am obsessed with them. Flowers in general amaze me though. From that tiny seed you get this beautiful, colorful creation. Love it!
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
“Something like George passing, it makes you think, `God, things are so impermanent: suddenly there’s this little friend of mine, he used to get on the bus, and now he’s passed away.’ There’s that whole lifetime of a friendship that physically has ended, not emotionally.”
-Paul McCartney
“A 60- to 75-pound sturgeon broke the leg of a 25-year-old woman when it jumped from the Suwanee on Sunday afternoon, the fifth time this year a jumping sturgeon has injured a boater…”
- So, how did you break your leg again?
- A fish.
