RE: The story of a failed photographer

in #photofeed7 years ago

Man, your images are amazing!!!! I cant believe you stopped when you're extremely talented. Ultimately, im an automotive and street photographer, but i appreciate all forms of the craft and definitely appreciate your work.

The automotive world is extremely difficult to make $$$ from due to everyone having a smart phone and thinking they're photographers. Unfortunately, Social Media has killed off many magazines and the ones still around pay very little because the shots aren't fresh by the time they've printed them.

Anyways, i do hope you pick the camera up again as i cant wait to see more of your work!

Thanks dude!! I'm not super sure how much is talent and how much was just raw determination... the great thing about digital is that you can just keep taking photos until it works.

Yeah, social media has impacted this industry like crazy... but it also creates opportunities... people are enjoying great photos more than ever.

Thanks mate... with a community as supportive as Steem, it's way harder to not pick up a camera.

I haven't decided yet. I will begin a couple of music projects this month and I'm on Steemit with focus on photography. Maybe it's just the way it is. I'm passionate about both and I can make money with both. I need to relearn budgeting time for these. Haha. Thanks for your reply.
