RE: Photographic Ruin and Insecurity - On Starting from Scratch and planning for the future

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Pictures on a scale of 10 is how most people basically view the world, The love and passion you put into this really brings it out alive, for a moment there i thought you were kidding when you wanted to sell your camera G, This kind of passion makes one not to give a shit about the financial reward involve but the happiness in return

Sort:  

It was a very serious thought and consideration that I mulled over.

I'm still working towards a rebrand, and might eventually sell cameras, but I'll have to wait and see what happens beyond the next 6 months to a year.

If you've got an idea its better to start now than later, selling cameras is a good idea, and a rebrand hmm can you imagine what it'll be like in the next 6 months if you start now instead of starting then?? Then you've already wet your toe and adapting to the change than just starting it.... Anyhuuu Your choice

I don't think I will sell, because ultimately, I'd probably end up rebuying them. It isn't like I need the money; its more "if I don't have these items, then I won't have these thoughts, and won't have this dilemma" - hence the part about using all my gear until it breaks.

Oh i see, but dont you think selling gets you more expose to people who might have contacts interested in your work? Since you dont need the money you can be selling without profit or little profit as a way of helping those who finds it difficult to get camera or parts

I already sold a bunch of the stuff that I don't use on a regular basis. It funded some upgrades to the things that I use the most. I got some paid work out of one of those sales to a fellow photographer; but I realise more and more it isn't about just making money, it is about producing art that makes me happy.

Finding something you love doing is really passive, for me i love writing, and am happy when ever i do it. Keep up the good job your happiness is far more important than anything else

No, I meant selling my cameras, not selling my work.

No one wants to buy my work :D

Ohhhh and why is that? Your work are amazing
