At Long Last, Niagara
What a pleasing end to today. I’ve been applying to jobs in New York non-stop over the weekend and all day again today. Trying to find work and an apartment in a city I don’t live in yet has been stressful to say the least. I got a treat in the mail though. My copy of Alec Soth’s Niagara arrived from Germany today — I followed a hot tip from some helpful commenters to get a copy of this thing because it went out of print probably the day I ordered it from Amazon the first time.
As far as the job thing goes, my best lead so far is with a company that makes school portraits! This might not be glamorous work but it actually sounds pretty great to me. I love things bizarre, campy and awkward and school portraits are all three. I’ve also applied to several journalism-oriented jobs because on paper I’m probably more qualified to do something like that than take pictures for money. In any event, I’m still at the beginning of this process so we’ll see what turns up.
So anyway, that’s what’s going on over here. If anybody out there wants to employ me just give a holler.
