general insanity and complaint.... ramblings of a disheartened fool

It's harder than I thought, breaking out of the corporate mold and into the world at large, especially with so many "photographers" doing the same thing.   It's been disheartening to say the least, and while I know.. that with perseverance, I will prevail, I was really hoping someone would take a chance on me.  

One of the other ladies who is also a fabulous photographer posted a month or so back that some people think it takes only the purchase of the photoshop software and an expensive camera to "break out of the shell" and become a photographer.   Some even think that posing and traditional portraits are a waste of time.   Others honestly believe that snapshots, enhanced and fixed extensively are great works of photographic genius.   Until this trend stops, and people wise up to the insanity of "facebook" generation photographers, those with experience might need to take baby steps.  

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking anyone and wish them all luck... Just basically feeling really.....  out of it.  Warmer weather is here, which means I'll be able to get out more and advertise that it's ME behind Intimate Xpressions.   Experience and talent go hand in hand.  

Now, for those of you who actually read this.. check out Cohen Sloane Photography on Facebook.  She's out of Dawson and one of the few I've had the pleasure of knowing ALL of my life...  God gifted her with a beautiful talent!
