Journal Entry: Sun Jul 13, 2008, 11:10 AM
Ok so I finished college so now I hope to go pro. I have to be honest, and without sounding arrogant I need to address one issue. Everyone says I'm a good photographer and people seem to love my work, and if they don't its becuase they can't appreciate images which rely on composition rather than content. I've had work up in some exhibitions and things so I think I can make it. But why don't I get much DA traffic? I don't understand. There are very many average photographers on DA that rely on HEAVY, HEAAAAVY post production to make their work stand out, and these weak photographers get so much traffic - especially in the print shop. What can I do to get people interested?

*holds, calms, soothes* You look like you need the obsessive yet terribly truthful smothering of totemic idol worship that can only be achieved by a shamelessly loud fan of yours such as myself. *clears throat* OH!!! You are so totally awesome and cool and amazing and talented, I just know that everything will be alright just as long as you be yourself and so the best that you can! Because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it you know that there's at least one person in the entire world that likes you so much she'd hijack an airline to be there but only doesn't because she can't even drive to the airport, can't afford a cap, has dependants and is way too pretty for jail - BUT - otherwise it'd be so on and I'd totally be there for you and watch you do this with effortless, flawless STYLE b/c you're that fuckin' metal!!!! :headbang:

*a-hem* Hope that did something for ya. *lights up a cigarette* Good luck. :heart: You'll be fine. Just breathe and keep eating the mints. Mints are good.

Yes but how else am I going to get a photo of you of my very own? I could just raid your myspace and download them but that would make me even creepier than I am sure I already come off... so at least this way I don't have to feel guilty, you don't have to feel violated and this will give you the chance to shoot yourself as the subject again. Even if I am the only one that buys it, it's the experience that counts right? :heart: :love:

awwwwwh thanks! I need promotion! Still relativly unknown. Perhaps I'll enable a photo of myself as a print, although that would be very arrogant. Wouldn't it? x

You will be mine... oh yes... you will be mine. +laughs maniacally while plotting to somehow get to England.+ But until then, I'll settle for obsessively watching your gallery for updates and patiently waiting the time where you post up a photo of yourself as a buyable print. +hint, hint+ By the way, I got the two prints I did buy up on my wall and everyone that has seen them has asked about your work so I've been pimping your site like mad. I hope more people buy from you. :heart:
