Re-Birth again and again…

It’s that time of year where I feel I need a change, and it usually means my work; both day job as well as my photo or artwork.
As much as I would love to make my passion a source of income, it is the type of work I am NOT inspired by that tends to be the practical career choice. Art nudes at my level are not what I would call a primary or even a second source of income.
Although it would be a perfect world if I can support my passion with its own results, it is the sheer reality that dictates how much from my “day job” I can put towards my photography and lately it has been close to zero.
That makes it hard to hire quality models and travel to great locations. Kind of a double whammy!
But that is why we call it “passion”, the desire to do what we love no matter what even if it does not support us in practical ways but instead it defines our souls and supports our mind. I guess in the long run that is what really matters.
Maybe it’s just time to revamp my portfolios and galleries… but then again procrastination tends to get in the way, uggh!Â
