I’ve been thinking a lot lately that all those people who said to me, “You really should sell your work”… they didn’t actually mean to THEM! lol.
It never mattered at the time because it was just a hobby, and it was always flattering, of course… but now all I can think is will I even make enough to recoup what I’ve had to invest? I honestly don’t know. I bought my domain for 3 years. That’s how long I’m giving this.
I’m really looking forward to getting past the time suck that is setting this all up legally. I hope I don’t wind up hating photography.
It's hard to say where you will be at in 3 years. It is hard work but in all this "time suck" you will develop skills and maybe your vision or plan will grow with your new skills. The best advice I can give you is to make sure whatever you're doing, you love. If you love it, it will be easier to do, and because you love it, you will be good at it or become good at it. Once you get past the setup phase, I hope it all becomes fun for you. Then you can do the stuff you love, and maybe it won't seem so much like work, but like passion. Then, the time only disappears because you were lost in the good stuff. The right people will see and notice that passion in your work. Have a great Friday.
Well done, you. Great shot.
