Who here makes money through photography 🙋♂️
I’m just genuinely curious, seeing what other people do in this group as an occupation. Again, there are no right or wrong answers here or just something I’m curious about. I added a little video too giving more detail behind my thought process

@Jan Danielewicz haha thanks bro but I barely make rent hence the gif. These are just remnants of dozens of other income-pivots because the degree I spent 10 years getting did nothing for me and then ai collapsed my industry.

Is business competition really a bad thing?
I want your thoughts on my little rant, tell me what you think! 💭

@Samee Ul Bari I appreciate the intention to discuss, but this is blatant chatGPT. I’m not discussing ideas with an ai. It sidestepped the entire point anyways. I’ll discuss ideas with humans for sure, not outsourced thought. But yeah I apologized because there’s a sentiment these days of “tldr” and “you’re doing too much” and short attention. I was honestly surprised when peops read it.

@Samee Ul Bari bro, please gimme your messy real human writing. The rigid anal way ai writes isn’t better, I loathe it.

During a full moon (which always seems to put me in a creative flow state - and I’ll have more energy at night than in the day) I decided to put a seamless up in my room. I didn’t have strobes or a camera remote… so I stuck a flash on my 35mm and used the built in mechanical timer. And I used a flash-repeater stuck to an underwater flash in my bookshelf. During the few seconds before the flashes fired, I would run over and set my digital cam to shoot a sequence on a timer. Then I’d run back and start dancing around with this fabric. I got a bunch of cool shots in the end… then actually bought some strobes which I’ve never used since lol

2 questions for you...
1. What is something in photography that you initially thought was gonna be easy, but was actually really hard? 2. What's something in photography that you initially thought was gonna be hard, but was actually really easy? I just came up with this as I woke up today, I don't know 🤷🏼

@Zofia Danielewicz lol nah that was my answer for #2 (what you thought was hard but it’s actually easy)

@Zofia Danielewicz getting the damn film onto the reel in the dark is the hard part. So frustrating 😅

@Zofia Danielewicz well if you recall my intro, I’m something like a Dúnedain and from another era, if I say words like “lock in” or “let’s go” I might spontaneously implode from a dangerous magic called “the cringe” I’m at a point where I’d just be genuine and probably come across as quietly grateful, soft spoken, and of few words.
