Devious Journal Entry

Wed Mar 25, 2009, 7:27 PM
  • Mood: Nervous
  • Listening to: "Human" Assemblage 23
  • Watching: Rock Star
Sometimes I wonder what I am getting myself into...
I truly enjoy shooting almost all subject matters (except sports..that's just never going to happen)
I know the direction I want to go with my photography: cinematic, music and fashion images.
Or at least I think that's what I want...
But then I look at my photos and consider the market out there and question whether I'm getting into an area that I really despise. I really love doing fashion photography, but the thing I don't like is the materialism. In fact, I really dislike the fashion industry as a whole. The amount of money people seem to spend on clothing and ridiculous accessories costing thousands of dollars just seems dumb to me. There's so many more important things in the world than materials...clothes...and trying to convince others to buy them. But the fashion market seems to be where I'd need to go for doing fantasy, conceptual oriented imagery. And as a makeup artist, doing fashion photography is lots of fun in terms of experimentation. I am not quite sure what I'm trying to say with this journal entry; perhaps it is more of a 'note to self' that I am choosing to share. I'd definitely appreciate some opinions on this, if you understand what I am getting at.
Perhaps I just need a little encouragement..despite the fact that I just got some today from a fantastic photographer, Andy Biggs (definitely check his stuff out by the way). Anyways...I believe that is it for now.

Cheers


Forgive me my mistakes
I'm only human
I bleed just like you
From time to time
So why can't I convince you
I'll be fine?

Ignore the writing on the wall
It just decorates
A place that I have lived so long:
Delusion's vast estates

There's nothing sinister at all
Gnawing at my soul
But these confessions that I give
Help me feel in control

-Assemblage 23- (some of the best music I've ever known )
