There are so many creative visual artists striving—and struggling—to make a business out of their art. They are hungry for success, to find ways to live out of their passion AND pay the bills.
We see the earnest desire in their hearts when we meet them in person, and hear it in their voices. We read about it in emails asking for just a bit of help and advice. It’s why we wrote our book and continue to blog and network.
Sometimes it seems that the need is so great. The competition so fierce. The market so saturated. The economy so volatile. Not always. Just sometimes. And that’s when it starts to feel overwhelming. Have you seen it? Do you know what I’m talking about?
Today I decided to capture an image of all the business cards I got from our recent speaking engagement in Orlando. It’s an apt representation of the overwhelm that sometimes threatens to derail my enthusiasm and motivation. What derails your enthusiasm and motivation? What do you do to combat it?
Manual: Page 76—Shooting Options. Read about optimizing images with the custom feature via tone, sharpening, etc. I admit I haven’t ventured into doing this. I’m thinking that I wouldn’t really need custom features and I don’t know how much difference they’d make. Have you tried it?
Images: Looked at images by LaCour today after listening to Mark Adams on AskDane.com. LaCour has a classic sense of photojournalism that creates absolutely stunning imagery. I’m always inspired by what they do and who they are.
