Blog About Photography

I’m not try­ing to com­plain here. The idea is not to throw a pity party. I’m mostly just curi­ous how every­one else out there is far­ing what with this apoc­a­lyp­tic eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion and all. I’ll say that for my part, it seems that my life has come to a com­plete stand­still. Blog­ging no longer pays due to an absense of adver­tis­ing rev­enue and the hand­ful of pho­tog­ra­phers that take me on their com­mer­cial shoots with them aren’t work­ing too much for essen­tially the same rea­son. Tim Bar­ber is off in LA for a cou­ple months and things seem slow over at Hum­ble Arts also, leav­ing me with a sur­plus of free time. I use these totally free day­time hours stalk­ing Craigslist for work, refresh­ing every 36 sec­onds or so, but it seems that so many other peo­ple are doing exactly the same thing that my inquiries almost never receive any kind of response. It’s the cra­zi­est thing. I say we form a union and col­lec­tively bar­gain with the State of New York to insti­tute some kind of artist assis­tance well­fare pro­gram so that I don’t have to move back in with my parents.
